I have a cold

You have to love it....waking up to a sore throat, runny nose, and feeling like your head is the size of a small planet. Oh the joys of having a cold. I am hoping to get over my cold soon, as fun as it is to sound extremely weird when I talk. I have been on a steady routine of taking Dayquil, which unfortunately makes me very loopy. It seems to be helping though. I am hoping everything I made today in baking class tastes good because I can't really taste anything! They say a cold lasts about one to two weeks....well, I am counting down the days until my immune system fights off this foreign invader!

Shingles...

So remember how I said I wasn't feeling too hot a couple of days ago...well, it is getting worse. I still feel really weak and have a low grade fever most of the time. Now in addition to all that, I have rashes all down one side of my stomach...too much information, I know. I went home yesterday, and my mom (who is a nurse) confirmed that I most likely have shingles, and no, that doesn't mean the things that go on you roof. Shingles is actually a form of the chicken pox virus that people get when they have already had the chicken pox. Neat. Not. It sucks. Unfortunately I did not have time to go to the doctor while I was home. It is my hope that it gets better over the next week. If not, however, I am going to go to the doctor sometime next weekend. Oh and I should probably take the time to mention that I am not contagious...so you can still talk to me if you see me on the street...you don't have to avoid me like I have the plague. lol Hopefully I will be over this soon. Being sick is not fun, and when you are in college, you don't get to miss school!

Not Feeling Too Hot

This whole week I haven't felt very well. I have been aching all over, and I have had a fever almost everynight. I also have very frequent headaches. Not good. I looked it up online, and it looks like stress is causing this. I haven't been stressed about school work, but there are definitely other things in my life that I am worried about. I just have to try and keep my mind off the negative and look at the positve and hopefully I will start feeling better again.
