Murphey's Law of Illness
Feb. 20th, 2009 11:37 pmWarning, TMI incoming.
AKA Kate Syndrome. Kate who has been known to break her tailbone and then get pneumonia and then a kidney infection. Everything EVER will go wrong, medically.
So about two weeks ago I broke out in hives. Epically. Sounds gross, right? That's because it is gross. Sounds funny, right? No. Not funny. Was late to classes due to the not funny of oh-my-god-the-itching-kill-me-now-pleeeease.
Went to Health Center. Gave me prednisone and claritin and hooray, I was feeling better by the first day. Think it might be soy milk. No more soy milk.
Then, a few days ago, sore throat. I can track this by now. Sore throat, gross nose, coughing, it's how all my colds progress.
Two days ago. Random extreme dizzy spell that happens to me very rarely--vision and hearing go skewy, dizzy, almost fainting. Even threw up this time. What the fuck. Went to Health Center again, but apparently it's nothing to be too worried about, something brought on by a combination of things.
Yesterday, the hearing goes in my left ear. I figure it's just my ears refusing to clear cause it's a cold and that happens. But it was achy and not going away today. So went to Health Center again. Turns out it's an ear infection. A bad one. Like, really bad. Pus bad. Implication is that there's a chance I might not get full hearing in that ear back. And now it hurts like a bitch. Am on amoxicillin for it.
Slept all day, skipped classes and work. Will have to call in to work for the whole weekend. Hope they don't fire me.
Just got a call from Julie saying she totaled her car on the way to Syracuse. She's completely fine, but the car is dead.
This is on top of my brother dropping out of college, Elwood getting sick and needing pills forced down his throat, everyone in the house having a cold, and Kate having another kidney infection.
You'd think this stuff would have all happened on Friday the 13th. Go figure.

Oh my god, I spent about four hours yesterday doing nothing but downloading cat macros. And for about a half an hour after that I kept slipping into lolcat speech. WTF is wrong with me?
I've also been playing Okami pretty much non-stop for the last few days. Like a lazy ass. Pretty much because I can, and because I've been waiting for people to get back to me about jobbage. I'm going to start a second wave of applications this week, probably tomorrow, after I get some other shit done. Also I should probably bug all the potentials again sometime soon, maybe Tuesday.
I love Okami. I know I've said this before. And this time around I'm gonna get all the Stray Beads, goddamnit.
I've also got to play the KHs again--because I want to and also to refresh my memory, since I need to do some research for the coming chapters in the fanfic.
Rearranged my room today, moved everything that wasn't bolted down. I like it better now. Just need to put all the little doodads back now.
