Indy Updates

This was supposed to be a fabulous update on the awesomeness of Indy, however, it will not be. I am sick with a sinus infection and the last thing I want to do is be witty and share adoarable things about my life. There are such things to tell, but now is not the time. I have a stuffy nose and a throbbing head, the usual cold stuff. To top it, my hands and feet are blistered from carrying/pulling those stupid boxes around and standing 8hrs a day.

Being sick is crappy, you all know that. Being away from home makes it extra crappy. I have no liquids to drink in my room because the tap water tastes so bad it made me gag. So I am probably dehydrated too. I ran out of tissues today, so I am down to toilet paper. Because my arthritis is an autoimmune disease, my immune system is really weak. Usually when I get sick my body spends all it's efforts fighting it and it forgets about my arthritis, which sucks just as bad the following week when my head clears and my body figures out it's super super sore. It often requires a case of steroids to fix me back up again. Let's hope this time is an exception. No time to get sick on the road. If I don't show up to a school, no one will. I was told the only reason to cancel a school is if you are dying. Vomiting doesn't count. One rep last year went to a school, puked in the bathroom, and then went to the next school. I dont know if I could do that.

I'd very much like to come home and be sick. I'm not pleasant person when I am sick at all. I'd un-friend sick Jen if I had to live with her. I turn into a 5 year old who just wants to whine and be coddled. It's quite disgusting, actually. I've never been sick at school and not gone home. Every time I try to stick it out, but it never works. Looks like I have to this time. Welcome to the real world, Jen. Grow up.


:Sniffle: Until next time
