I get back from the exam, and I'm hot and sweaty because apparently mother nature decided it'll be funny to pick on me today. Seeing that the sun is shining outside, and thunder/lightning/HAIL storm was early this morning, I figured it'll stay nice and warm and sunny all day today, right?
So I went and did the laundry.
I hung the laundry outside.
And I go back inside to finally put my head on the pillow and get some needed rest.
I wake up with the sound of heavy rain. I run out and yank the two loads of laundry I hung outside, getting soaked myself, WHILE IT'S STILL SUNNY (yeah, raining cats and dogs while it's sunny, dear sweet nature threw a rogue cloud right at me) and come inside, dropping the clothes on the sofa, and just when I go and close the door, it stops raining.
And the sun still shines.
And I'm left with a face that actually looks like this: (-_-)

Hopefully that summarizes how I'm feeling right now.so scared of getting older, I'm only good at being young.
So I play the numbers game to find a way to say that life has just begun.
Had a talk with my old man, said help me understand.
He said turn 68, you'll renegotiate. Don't stop this train.
Don't for the minute change the place you're in, and don't think I couldn't ever understand,
I tried my hand, tried honestly, we'll never stop this train.
Once in a while when it's good, it'll feel like it should.
And they're all still around, and you're still safe and sound.
And you don't miss a thing until you cry when you're driving away in the dark. Singing, stop this train. I wanna get off and go back home again. I can't take the speed this thing is moving in, I know I can't, 'cause now I see I'm never gonna stop this train...

It's a good thing I have a healthy appreciation for the way nature humbles us when we think we've outsmarted it. We thought we had braced our Halloween yard decorations sufficiently against the wind.
That is to say until I found our front yard demolished and some of our decorations a block away in the street. And the weather's due to get worse!

Spent four days with H1N1, very much wanting to die, especially on the occasions when my temperature spiked to 103 degrees. Now I'm going to have to ask for an extension on a programming assignment, which frankly embarrasses me; I've never had to do that in my entire college career. Even though the fever's been broken for 24 hours and I can go outside now, I still have that tickle in my throat... it doesn't force me to cough, but if I make even a polite cough, it induces blinding chest pains. Just all the damage I incurred over those four days.
And I gained five pounds over the course of those four days. What the hell?! All I ate was chicken broth! Aren't you supposed to lose weight when your body's fighting the flu? I've never gained that much weight in so short a time!
... And I suppose if I'm worried about my weight again, that means I really am better. Also, I haven't tried it, but I'm pretty sure my new medication has made me eyes intolerant to contact lenses, so I can't wear them for the next five to six months.
To sum it all up, bugger.

A little ditty I found for all the Slu sufferers:
I've had some thoughts on fighting flu,
that I would like to share with you...
Washing hands takes much too long,
using soap and singing songs...
Coughing in your elbow's weird,
like saving lunch bits in your beard...
Using sick days when I'm sick,
seems a waste...not how I tick...
Beam, Backwoods, and Dinty stew,
will do much more than Tamiflu,
to keep me strong and get me through,
this spreading, raging FrankenFlu

I HAVE THE FUCKING FLU!
And I'm at work. Rescheduling the exams this morning is too painful. I'm already dreading rescheduling the ones tomorrow. Hopefully the decision to work for 30 min today to save hours later will not actually result in the death of my poor overworked body.
Also we're having our first test in German class today. I still haven't fully accepted that I have to miss it.

My son's first trip to the orthodontist went slightly worse than expected. We knew he would probably need some work. Now we can guess to what extent. Looks like a long time in braces and retainers, plus implants and a couple of oral surgeries are in store for the little guy.

Geeze, that sucks Angelique. I remember my time with braces and retainers. Had to have two of my top teeth pulled. Hated every time we went to the orthodontist, the braces were always uncomfortable, so painful and itchy to the bone, plus the little hooks on the inside that you put the tiny elastic bands on always scraped my inner cheeks. And when he tightened the bracers and cut off the excess wire, then end of the wire also scratched. And the wax they give you to put over those parts if they scratch, it does not work. And then retainers, gah.
Atleast it all paid off. I don't look like some nightmarish monster when I smile. But yeah, hope your son's ordeal will go quick and not so painful. And for goodness sakes, keep bubblegum, taffee, and anything else that sticks when chewing away.

He's taking it in good stride, probably because his misaligned teeth aren't exactly comfortable either, he would like to be able to speak more clearly, dental implants sound so sci-fi, and since he's a little old school metalhead, being a metalmouth as well wouldn't be such a bad thing.
Also, we discovered that the good thing about his demonstrated tendency to not develop some permanent teeth- hence the need for implants. He probably won't ever have a problem with impacted wisdom teeth.
Finally, he is so not going to go through the 14 years of orthodontic torture I endured. Don't get me wrong. I'm thrilled with the smile I have, but that was just ridiculous!

Argh. After a few weeks of fairly normal health levels (read: not as good as everyone elses, but had nothing but the fatigue and occasional pain to fight against) my body has now flipped back into shitmode.
Spent the day with a 'fake stroke' - basically, one side of my body went completely numb and my head seriously hurt, also couldn't make sense of simple things. And now I have chronic nausea again.
Goddamnit, couldn't you wait until after next Tuesday to do this?

I want braces to fix the gap between my front teeth. I never noticed before I started speaking SLOWLY AND LOUDLY AND CAREFULLY for work but the "shh" sound whistles in the space if I make it too strong. It's been driving me crazy.

My laptop's starting to really screw up. I don't even know if I've got the loan yet, and even if I have it'll be at least a week before I get a new one.
Please let this one last that long. Then I can wipe it and build it as my business laptop.

Stupid flu is making my right ear hurt and clog up, completely even when I'm lying down. Considering that throat-infections always wander straight to my ears AND my mother's right ear has turned deaf because of pressure and stress interactions I'm starting to be concerned

A fake stroke is one that carries the symptoms of a stroke but doesn#t involve your heart skipping out, easy as that.

I do not have strokes. However, I have what is known as 'phantom strokes' - things that at first glance can be mistaken for a stroke (as what happened when I had the first one and ended up in A&E) but are not caused by the usual - clotting, bleeds on the brain, shit like that.
Therefore, they're 'fake strokes' because they are not actual ones, braincells are not destroyed and I don't lose part of my brain. All they are is a symptom caused by the Chairi not allowing spinal fluid to drain properly from the back of the brain, causing a build up of pressure - which can cause a replication of symptoms from MS to Epilepsy.
Better?
