Jackie: A Tale of Perversity and Woe

So, I got a stomach flu the night before last and oohhhhh boy has it been a fun two days! Man, I can't even begin to tell you how awesome it is to have the stomach flu and then also have low blood sugar/pressure/whatever and to keep waking up and immediately feel extremely faint and dizzy as soon as you stand up and then fall flat on your face on your way back from the bathroom. And to wake up the next day to a text asking you to please come in early and proceeding to freak out about what to do because obviously you can't work if you can't even stand up for more than a minute but if you don't go then NO ONE WILL BE THERE, and also moneys, then eating some chips and not feeling faint anymore so you decide to go in but at the time you were supposed to instead of earlier, and then spend your entire shift having to go to the bathroom and having all of your bones feel sore and everything tastes bitter and stale so you can't even eat or drink anything, though you NEED to drink things in order to keep from being dehydrated. And deciding to take the next day off, even though it will mean less money that you really, desperately need. And, again, spending half your day in the bathroom.

I'm feeling a little better now, though, at least. I think. I probably should call in tomorrow too, just in case, but I'm not gonna. I won't have to lift heavy boxes and crap tomorrow, at least. Presumably.

Yesterday was just One Of Those Days, man.

When I got to work there so much shit I had to do because it was Saturday and there's always a lot of set-up for Sunday. Then, when I was in the middle of setting up the kaiser rolls, I started having a huge sneezing fit -- which is actually not unusual, as this usually happens because of the freezer burn and dough flakes getting inside my nose.

But then it just. Wouldn't. Stop.

I was seriously sneezing about three to five times a minute. It would not let up! Occasionally it would stop for about five minutes and then start up again just as I thought it was over. It was fucking brutal. Not to mention there were tons of customers so I was trying to do the set-up but I was always either being interrupted by snot dribbling down my face or a customer wanting ALL THE THINGS.

So I decided to take my lunch a little earlier than I would have normally just so I could calm down (I figured it was the stress getting to me and making it worse), when I lost my name badge for about the fiftieth time because that stupid thing is always falling off. You need the badge to clock in and out so I was running around trying to find it and then I just went, "Fuck it" and left. Luckily Rob was working at the same time as me and he managed to find it before I got back (in the freezer in between some boxes, wtf?).

So I get back and then everything seems all right. Rob helped me finish the set-up since he didn't have anything else to do. I was still sneezing and everything, and boogers dribbled down my face as I cleaned the floors, but the day was almost over and I had Sunday off so whatever. What else could go wrong?

Well, I was returning the hose in Seafood to Rob (because I was cleaning the cake decorating area and our hose doesn't extend that far), when I slipped violently on the floor Rob had just cleaned and landed painfully on my ass. It would've been funny except I had had such an awful day already and now my butt was really sore, I was dripping wet and smelled like Mr. Clean, and I was still sneezing up a storm.

So I started to cry.

And you know how sometimes you start crying and you just can't stop? Yeah, that was what happened to me. I managed to compose myself for a brief time as we left the store but on the way to his house I was like "I LOVE YOUUUUUU" and started crying again. We got back and he held me for a while as I continued sobbing. I calmed down eventually, then he walked me home and I took some Nyquil and went to sleep and here I am, having woken up at 5 in the morning.

My stuffy nose is over, I think, but I still have a massive headache. Thank God I'm not working today. I probably would've called out if I had been scheduled.

So, the Livestream thing was fun for me and lonelysubmarine. Yep. Sure was fun for just the two of us! I AM PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE YAY lol No seriously, it's cool. Although I'm thinking next week is Bill and Ted, what say ye? Don't know what day/time, though. Leave your thoughts.

I left work early today because I was hacking up a lung and coughing all over everything, and I'm not going to work tomorrow either. Against my better judgment, not five minutes ago I consumed Nyquil. I am starting to get that warm and cushy feeling, and expect that in an hour I will be dead to the world. I can only hope I don't wake up and start hallucinating, like last time. Nyquil is some fucked up shit, man.

God I hate being sick.

Pity me, for I am sick. :( I got a sore throat last night and when I woke up this morning it was even worse. However, I had plans to go into the city so I sucked down some Dayquil and went about my business. Visited Brittany, who is doing well, and whose trailer I will be making. It's gonna go up on a website, apparently, which is pretty sweet.

Re: the Livestream event, it looks like so far Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Julie & Julia, and Star Trek are tied.

Soooo another poll!

[Poll #1510387]

I was just sick a couple of weeks ago. How can I be sick AGAIN?

Universe, I hate you, since you clearly hate me. >:(

I feel about 90% better today, you guys! \o/ I still didn't go to acting class, but that was due to 1) not being prepared for the class at all since I've been sick, and 2) I didn't manage to fall asleep until about six o'clock in the morning. Yeah.

But anyway! I still have sort of a cough, and I feel weirdly woozy right now, but it's the kind of woozy that tells me I need to eat chocolate. ...Don't ask. I just need to eat chocolate whenever I kinda feel like I'm going collapse at any second. It just works, okay?

Yep, it's official. I am sick. And I can't get to sleep. Woe.

I may not go to class tomorrow, and instead just lay around and eat some soup and drink tea and watch LOST all day. Like I'm gonna miss anything in Editing, anyway...

(watch, it'll be the one day we actually do something interesting. Or Lynn brings in chocolate cake.)

I feel kinda bad for not going to school today, even though I am still sick. It's just - well, I was still asleep at 7:30 because I don't have to be in class until 9:05, and my mom just assumed that meant I wasn't going to school and she's all "I hope you're able to pass your senior year" and she slams the door when she's leaving... and, well, I could probably use another day to recover and relax. I hope she's not seriously mad. :/ And besides, I was still hopped up on Nyquil at that point and even sleepier than I usually am in the morning.

BUT ANYWAY. Here are the pictorial answers for that meme from two days ago...

( Top 5 stuff )

And another meme for today:

Who would you ship me with? Whether they're an LJ user, fandom character, or even if I don't know them!

Cash Cab is quite an addicting show, btw.

So, basically I've just been laying around the house all day, watching Alias and A Fish Called Wanda and reading the Twilight series. And eating. Lots of that, too. My throat hurts pretty bad, though - and generally I just feel like "meeeehhhh". I think tomorrow I'm gonna watch Fight Club and read some fics... I have some catching up to do.

Which reminds me, I still have to do that Sylar/Claire fic exchange fic. *looks at prompts and makes sad face*

Why do I keep getting these headaches? And they all happen at around the same time, too. And my eye's started twitching again (granted, it was happening more a couple weeks ago, but still). WTF.

...Maybe I shouldn't be listening to the Revenge playlist Anna made for me when my forehead feels like it's going to split open.

LATER: Changed the layout. Old color scheme didn't match the userinfo (yes, I am weird like that).
