Woes of the Sick and Afflicted

  Warning: This is another whiny post about how I'm sick. I have to vent it out. Lucky for you, you can read this sentence and abandon this blog post. But don't be annoyed by what I have to say I warned you. 

 Being sick is horrible. Ridiculously horrible. Let me tell you why.

There are all kinds of diseases...I may just have the flu, but at the moment it feels like a life ending illness. First world problem, but whateves to that! I dislike it when someone tells me to get over it. I just want to yell at them you go get a flu shot and tell me how you feel!! Yet somehow I resist... Or simply say you don't know my life. 

  Just in case you are starting to doubt my sickness expertise let me assure you I have been sick enough times in my life to know what's up. Until I had surgery in August my life was full of illnesses. There is nothing worse than sinus infections...they are a ridiculous incurable disease that does nothing but cause you pain. Lots and lots of awkward discomfort. Just ask my roommates about the time I had to rinse my face and water wouldn't stop falling out of my face. Anyway back to my current illnesses

 Have you ever been sick, but had to leave the house? You absolutely have to there is no way around it. So you face the conundrum of if you should get dressed or not. It is always a ten minute battle with myself. I am not ready for jeans, no one should have to wear those when they're sick. But I should probably at least change out of my pajamas...sweats and a hoodie it is...every time. Then you get out in public and the whole world judges you. You get the "how dare you come out in public looks", the "are you for real wearing that", "did you even fix your hair today". The answer to all of these questions is bite me. I have the flu dang it and I got hungry. You would be in the same boat if you were me right now. I think that is a common side effect of illness. The lack of effort in getting ready for life.

I also develop some individual sickness side effects...

  Half of my face always suffers. Only half. It's always the right side. It's supposed to be part of my sinus issues, but it is  so weird every time. My right ear always aches and my right eye develops this bizarre twitch. Like for real it is so WEIRD. It gets all swollen and it tears up every five seconds. It looks like I'm crying all the time, but only out of one eye. I can only imagine what it must look like to other people. 
  My second, weirdest problem is that I get so cuddly. I hate touching HATE IT. But as soon as I'm sick all of that goes away. It is so strange! There is nothing I want more than a boy to cuddle with when I'm ill. I don't understand! To conquer these feelings I just carry my pillow around and cuddle with that. The only nice thing about this is that I can always tell when I'm starting to get sick cause all the sudden I just wanta hug people...that's how I know it's time for the pillow. 
  I also am hungry...all the time. Normally I don't eat a lot but look out when I'm sick I will literally eat the WHOLE house! The worst part is I regret this every time...it just makes me hurt that much more. Never ends well...ever.
  My newest sickness dilemma is that I have a job! Ah it kills me when I think about the money I'm losing by sitting in bed and sleeping. The worst part of this current illness is how I got it. Both the kids I work with got the flu and I survived!! The flu was not going to touch me, but alas I fell to the infamous flu shot! Deceived by my doctor I was tricked into paying for the injection of the virus into my arm...and now death. This is all I have to say on the subject of disease for now, but if you don't hear for me for awhile know that I love you all. The flu may win, but I will try my hardest to fight it. I will overcome!
