*clutches head, wimpers in pain*

[dolorosa_12]

I have the worst flu in the history of flus.* Since Sunday, I've had virtually no energy. By Sunday afternoon, I was feverish and all of my bones hurt. When I got out of the shower on Monday I was so exhausted and in pain that I had to lie on the floor of my bedroom for about 10 minutes before I felt ready to go on.

I feel slightly better today, but not much. I haven't wanted to eat for the past two days, although I forced some salad and crackers down my throat last night and have been eating another salad slowly over the course of the day.

The problem is that I had far too much stuff happening today. At 8am I had to go to the doctor. At 9am I had Welsh class. At 12 I had a palaeography lecture. At 2pm I had a script history lecture. At 3pm I had a script history workshop. At 5.15pm I have the ASNaC Society AGM. At 6pm I have an hour-long rehearsal for 'Irish Week' (we're singing songs and reciting poems in Irish, so we have to practice). And that's not it. From 7pm-10pm I have to do a shift in the library. AAAARGH.

I'm exhausted and in pain, and I won't be home for another six hours. I really shouldn't have come in at all, but I can't afford to lose the money that the library shift will pay me, and hence I thought I might as well go to all the other stuff too.

Luckily my boyfriend has been wonderful. Yesterday he went to the supermarket and bought me orange juice, mineral water, honey (to put in tea)and vegetables for the salad. Entirely unpromted, he also bought caramel popcorn (not that I have any desire to eat it, but when I'm better I will). He is wonderful and I would hug him excessively if not for fear of infecting him.

My bones hurt. My head hurts. It takes me twice as long to move. Food tastes awful. Whine whine whine. I really should get over it.

Tree had a flu-like thing last week, too - seems to be going around >:

Hope you feel better soon! It sucks being sick :/

Thanks!

I hope Tree's feeling better now - and you too, since I seem to recall you're really ill also?

We've been ping-ponging sicknesses between us, but I think we're both on the tail end of things. Nothing too horrible. Thanks for your concern, though c:

Thanks, James!

Ack, please stay home tomorrow and focus on getting better! It's bad enough to be that ill; worse to be trying to study and work while you're in that state.

Sorry, I must somehow have missed your comment at some point. I wasn't intentionally being rude!

In any case, thanks for your kind thoughts.

That's OK - there are apparently issues with email notifications at the moment, so I didn't think for a moment that you were being rude!

I hope you're feeling somewhat better now.

That sounds like a long day under any circumstances, so I can understand it being so difficult! I really hope you're feeling better soon! *hugs*

Thank you! I'm feeling a bit better today, although every so often I start feeling dizzy or headachey again. Luckily I don't really have any classes today or tomorrow so I can mostly stay at home.

Get better soon.

Thank you! I am feeling somewhat better, but it wasn't the most ideal start to the week, as you can imagine.
