How do you feel today?

Post by **Auleliel** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 3:15 pm

I have a sore throat and have not been sleeping well. I think I may be coming down with something, which is not good as finals and end-of-the-semester projects approach.

Get well soon, Auleliel!

I had a really good weekend..its springtime!! The world is getting greener every day, the birds are singing (the nightingales even 24 hours

)
the flowers explode and the sun shines

(I already got a little sunburn)
and i stayed with the ponies the whole time

seems as if all the long wintertime is forgotten within a few days

is good today.

yesterday power went out at the prison for hours before i got there. it was raining and the pumps went out. so the kitchen drains flooded. the people before me did not clean. so i spent two extra hours cleaning.

today the Patriots seem to have drafted well. is good.

I feel exhausted. I've been averaging about 2-4 hours of sleep each night since last Wednesday. I need to go sleep, but I really ought to pack for a few hours, and return 2-3 phone calls--and none of them will be short.

Damn. I've had about the roughest 18 hours or so I could imagine. As y'all know I'm down at my uncles place, and was planning on leaving this week.

Unfortunately, my uncle had what appears to be a massive heart attack at about 2am, and despite immediate CPR from his paramedic son, (who happened to be spending the weekend here on a break from university), he was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.

*shakes head* A real bolt from the blue. No hint at all. So I'm gonna be here for a few more weeks, trying to organise things and make plans about what'll happen with my cousins etc. Hell of a day.

He went on a high note though, we had a great weekend, his son was here for the only time he would be for the whole year, Mel and I were here...it was the best possible combination of circumstances (if there can be a best in such an event). A week later and it would only have been his 17-yr old daughter and his girlfriend here alone.

Still...hell of a shock. *sigh*

Oh Av...

I don't know what to say.
Hugs to you and Mel, and your cousins.

So sorry, Av.

I'm sending you and Melody mental hugs anyway.

Never say no to hugs, mental (Zen) or otherwise.

I hope you, Mel, and your uncle's family will be alright. I will be sending positive thoughts in your direction, Avatar. Best wishes.

I was sent home from work this morning. My workmates are very concerned. They said that I have lost alot of weight - that I am looking very sick. I took yestderday off, and had hoped to come to work this week. Well, I am home now. I haven't been able to sleep much the last few days - and I have almost constant nauseau. Been eating every two days, and then only a slice of toast. I had thought it was the new medication I am on, but it appears to be a virus, as my boss told me another coworker has the same symtoms as well.

Just going to lie in bed all day, now.

Thanks Lore. Make sure you look after yourself too now.

Damm Av! Major support vibes for all of you! Get better Lore!

Lore, at least eat some broth with that toast.
Feel well.

Av - that's pretty nuts, man. I'm sorry. Only positive vibes and zen hugs to you guys.

Lore - Sorry you're so sick. Try to keep down some fluids. Orange juice and what not. I always added a little cinnamon to my toast, and it makes it easier to eat.

As for me, I'm feeling good. Still a little sick, but I'm FINNALY done with the work week, so I have a few days off now. THANK god.

Lore, slowly sip some ginger ale. Ginger has a calming effect on the stomach. That might help you get some food down.

I feel good. I just went crazy posting some of my sunset pictures on the photography thread for Lurch and Moose pics for me and his fanclub. I also was inspired on my walk from the bus stop to home to do something nice for someone that I care about because I know she was feeling down. I hope it makes her smile. I was walking by a florist shop and they had some lovely sunflowers so I got a bunch and a vase and put it together with a note that said, "Just wanted to bring a little sunshine to your day." Then I got home, grabbed one of my Moon picture prints and tucked it in the envelope and wrote, "P.S. Here's a little moonshine too!" and left them so she will find them when she gets home. Life is always best when you make a practice of telling those you care about that you care in each and every way you can.

This will sound weird, then again I'm as weird as they come, but I find that if I hold a two inch shard of rose tormaline between my thumb and index finger nasty stomach problems go away.

Hugs and good vibes to everyone who need them, especially Avatar.

I'm feeling frantic. I have to teach in less than 9 hours, and still have no lesson plan. I am still feeling under the weather, and am likely to feel worse in the morning after staying up all night to write the lesson plan (we have to write it in a very stupid format that takes hours longer than the actual planning process). I have to perform--in front of people I don't know--a song I am not confident about on the viola tomorrow afternoon, and prepare a presentation for Wednesday on a topic I am not very knowledgeable about. And it is supposed to snow here tonight or tomorrow. So overall, I feel the opposite of good. But it could always be worse.
