When choosing between two evils...

This is the suck! Total suck! Total!

( lots of bitching, many swears )

So I had a fun hospital adventure yesterday.

( hospital )

In puppy news, Draco took a crap on my mom. I love my dog.

I am getting sick. Again. This is what happens when you get as little sleep as I have been getting, eat as little as I have been eating, and do as much as much as I have been doing. It's not serious yet. My nose is a bit snotty. My throat hurts a little, and I feel tired. This sucks balls! I can not be sick right now. Can't. CAN NOT. I just want to go home and take a nap. I have to go vote first. And I don't get off until six. SUCK! I just feel miserable.

I want to die.

Well, not seriously. I just feel so bad. Awful. I'm hacking up everything but the kitchen sink. I actually went to the doctor. That's how bad I am. I don't go to the doctor. Those of you that know me know how serious this is. I do not go to the doctor if I think I can take care of it myself. Well... I'm running 101 in the fever department and I have a respiratory infection. Good times, good times. I get to miss work until Monday. I'm infectuous. Great. Just what I needed. Oh well. Maybe I'll spend tomorrow viewing season 2 of VM or something.

On the plus side, the cough syrup I got perscribed makes me feel a little drunk. Woo hoo! So drunk, in fact, that I called star1sar and left gorrilla noises on her voicemail.

First off, flist, if I have missed anything of importance in the last few days, please let me know. I have been... away and then sick.

Secondly, if anyone would like to help mod tthdrabbles, please reply to this post or mail me at echo_liz(at)hotmail(dot)com. I will not be making this decision alone. tthjinni will be deciding with me. I'm just really bogged down right now, and have been for a while. I'm trying to make a writing deadline, and it's kicking my butt. I don't want to concentrate on ANYTHING else. I've kinda been getting flack for not posting new challenges, and I'd like to be flack-free, thanks.

eta: Third, if people don't back up off of me and give me some space, I am going to snap. I am always more irritable when I have been sick. I have too much to do these days. I have been getting grief at home, at work, and online. I feel very smothered. There are not enough hours in my day. Usually I am pretty together about certain things, but right now I am not. It's going to be a spectacular breakdown, ladies and gents.

Please buy my book.

Feeling a bit better today. Will be attending work tonight, tomorrow, and bowling with high school friends on Saturday night. I am a crappy bowler. This should be humorous. Will NOT be staying out late or drinking anything stronger than Dr. Pepper on Saturday because I have to work on Sunday morning. Monday there will be serious job hunting as I really do think I am done this time. In between there, somewhere somehow, I will write some as I plan to be finished with my 50,000 words for Carpe Noctem by May 1.

Now I am off to hunt up some lunch.

OMG so sick.

Sore throat, runny nose, fever, headache, body aches. Am not going anywhere until this passes. But I did have an uber long talk on the phone with Aimee last night. She cracks me up. There was lots of coughing because she got me to laughting too hard. She just sees things as I see things, but there's a definite sarcastic edge in her descriptions of things. Like with me. It soothes me. LOL.

I was going into work tonight, but that is so out. I just feel too miserable, and I don't want to get anyone else sick. It's all about the hot tea, soup, and my PJs today.

*is high*

I had to take a painkiller. It's been a bad night. There's a cyst on my leg. I tried to lance it myself. Oooo, bad idea. I don't think it was quite ready. I think I aggravated it more. It hurts when I walk. So I took a painkiller. I horde them, you see. For bad nights. Like tonight. I have a lot of accidents and issues. I also have a very high threshold for pain. Physical, not emotional. When I get prescribed painkillers, I try not to take them unless I'm REALLY in pain, so when things like tonight happen, I have something to take. Maybe not the smartest plan ever, but I don't have insurance, and I can afford to go to the doc every time I have a problem i might be able to take care of myself.

I really need a real job. You know, one with medical.

Thyme (pinkpunk713), got your card today. Thnx. I could read your writing just fine. Mine's worse. Ask my nieces and nephew.

There's this party thing-y on the 30th with a bunch of people I haven't seen since graduation. Not only that, but a lot of them I went to elementary school with too. Known some of them since K. I think I'm going. It'll be crazy. They won't expect me. Now if I can only convince jleary007 to go. Don't be so antisocial, Jase. It'll be fun. If anything just the looks on folks' faces when *I* walk in the door will be great. I think you and I going would appropriately frighten everyone. LOL.

Just so we're clear... I will be ever-so happy when the Hols are OVER. This year has been the most stressful ever, and I'm including the Hols when my parents split up. If anyone I know ever decides to get married anywhere near the 25th again, I'm going to have to eat their head. With some fava beans and a nice chanti. *fsp fsp fsp fsp* Wish me luck at the Semi-evil Wedding of Holiday Doom!

And I think I need to go pass out now. Cheers.

You know how I said I was pathetic? Screw that. I am hardcore. Still sick. Went to work anyhow. Carried the roll-y trashcan with me when I was threading the projectors. Vomitted in it when needed. Jell-O looks funny when it comes back up.

So enough of that me being sick crap. I've decided I'm not finishing NaNo this year. I don't think I need to. Not really. NaNo is about training yourself to write on a sort of schedule and improve your word count. I don't think I need that. I think I'd rather write something good than something quick. I think I am going to get serious about rewriting Rough Spirits and submit it to ComStar. I've been half-assed about the rewrites. There's even some things about Empire of Dirt that I already want to fix. I want to finish Jealous Face and The Distance to You. I want to put out the next parts of Snake Charming and Trick of the Light.

But most importantly, I want to take my time and not feel rushed.

Uh.

I ran errands today. Now I feel sorta tired and barfy. Yes, barfy. My tummy's all upset for some reason. I am about to lie down and drink some Gatorade. I hope I feel better by the time Supernatural comes on tonight. I finally think I know what i'm wearing to the NIN concert.

goddessvicky, I mailed your birthday gift today. Yay.

Crew, someone has a livejournal now... orion777. If you guyses look at the birthdate, you'll know who it is. I can't believe it. I think she only got one so she could leave comments in mine. LOL. B, other people you should friend besides me... guyblackcat, isabella_darko, txrangermark, untdrew, and tthjinni.

I will try to finish the last part of "Jealous Face" either later tonight or tomorrow, depends on this tummy situation of mine.

Going to lie down now.

eta: ARG! Someone pimped a HP RPG on tthdrabbles without writing a drabble to go with their pimping post. I'm giving them until tomorrow to fix the situation, or I'll be deleting the post. And OMGess! Someone ELSE pimped the same RPG on my writing community. That post ate it already. Buh-bye.
