Things I Have Done While I’m Sick

Category: Uncategorized
  • Finished “We Could Be Rats” on audio in nearly one day
  • Pressed my forehead to the ice cold glass of the front door while sighing, “ahhhh.”
  • Ate lots of sugar. My sick body wants sugar, my sick body gets sugar.
  • Threw some of the cookies Henry brought home for me back at him while shouting DISGUSTING!!!! Because am I direct conduit for the DEVIL when I’m sick.
  • Watched a bunch of AP Bio and then erupted into coughing fits while laughing.
  • Created an account on a global penpal site so I can find Romanian penpals.
  • Questioned why I still have a fever after three days and then told Henry to “STFU dork” when he tried to mansplain health class to me.
  • Forced myself to still get 10000 everyday while shuffling in place with a blanket over my head with Henry in the other room yelling at me to SIT DOWN.
  • Told Chooch I have a fever. “That sucks,” he replied which is actually a lot more caring than I what I expected from him.
  • Got Henry sick.
  • Had insane fever dreams featuring Robin Scherbatsky and a bleeding sky and of course both my mom’s house and pappap’s house.
  • Not cared about the Super Bowl even once.
  • Watched old episodes of Going Seventeen and let it lull me to sleep because I guess these are what I would consider my comfort rewatches.
  • Argued with henry over who is sicker and accused him of copying me.

  • Remembered that I never jotted down my thoughts of breakfast last weekend with Pam. We went to the old Tom’s Diner, recently reborn as SPARKIES and I have to tell you, it did not inspire the SPARKIES within me. First of all, they did a dastardly thing by shitting their faux-rustic decor all over what was once an authentic 50s diner aesthetic. It felt jarring from the get-go, drab and bleak. I fucking hate that putrid olive color on the walls. Our server was militant and lacked personality – she made me so uncomfy and I kept profusely thanking her because she made me feel like we were impeding upon her time. The menu was stupid and expensive. I had the GREASIEST omelet of my life served with a side of burnt and dry home fries. There was supposed to be feta in my omelet bug it was clumped together in one small section which I never made it to because the grease was making me queasy so Henry ate my leftovers later that day – also got sick – and said “oh wow all of the feta is right here”. The rye toast was very good though. I will likely never go back so don’t ask me to meet you there.
  • Had another coughing fit because Henry is making more Taemin pins as I type this and now the house reeks of cooked shrinky dink.
  • Watched lots of Romania content on YouTube. My tax refund is burning a hole in my savings account as we try to figure out travel dates. I hope I’m not jinxing anything because I have wanted to go to Romania for like 20 years and it would be so magical to have our “honeymoon” there. (Honeymoon lol.)

  • watching Henry working very diligently.

You guys I need to sign off now. I want to stick my head in a vat of Vick’s Vaporub. My lungs are craving that sweet ass eucalyptus burn.

UPDATE: Henry thinks he’s so cool because he has a fever now too (mine broke at one point today but don’t worry – I’m back in feverish action) so are now competing to see who’s is higher and I beat him by .2 degrees!!! 101.8 to 101.6 boiiiiiii.
