A-TISH-oooooooooo!
As if it wasn't bad enough that my reproductive 'cycle' is going haywire, I'm now felled by a sore throat, cough, and sniffly nose. Sometimes it just feels like my body is conspiring against me, y'know?
We've heard of people who make lousy patients. Well, I don't get cranky when I'm sick -- I just get LOA, as my housemates like to say. LOA stands for "Lack Of Attention": when I'm sick, I'll be going, Look at poor li'l me! I'm sooooooo sick!, and I want lots of sympathy and pampering. Unfortunately there isn't really anybody around to pamper me :(
It's funny coz normally I'm pretty independent and I'm totally okay handling things on my own. In fact, my usual self doesn't even like having people tell me what to do! But when I'm sick I wish I had somebody to help send me to the doctor (nevermind that it's only the sniffles and a sore throat, it's not like I'm confined to my bed or anything!); I wish somebody could go out and buy some food back for me; I wish somebody would fuss over me and go, "Oh, you poor thing! Here, drink more water," or SOMETHING like that, you know?
Anyway I'm on sick leave tomorrow, thank God, coz my brain feels like cotton wool, my joints feel about 90 years old the way they're aching, my nose is either always blocked or always running, my throat feels like sandpaper, and... oh, you can tell the LOA-ness is coming out again, can't you?? ;)
