Well, after a full week of illness, I think I'm on the mend. My brother concurs; apparently, I no longer have that glossy effect over the eyes I've had.
This illness has been interesting, actually. Typically, I'm high-maintenance when ailing, but this time, I just had too much to do and too much to think about to indulge anything beyond the most minimal acknowledgment that something was amiss. I went to work (but not school...the days were just too long) and some of my classes. I must have looked unwell because strangers would inquire if I was alright. Trying to keep being sick quiet is a totally different experience from wishing you had someone bringing you soup.
Fuck soup. I'm busy.
Also, my request: to all of my friends, etc. Please. If I ever think that doing something tremendously stupid, such as attempting to take four classes...and succeed!...while working, is a good idea, correct me. You don't even need to do it nicely. This was one of the dumbest things I've done in a while. I'm barely scraping by and it's embarrassing. My hubris is bringing me down to an unflattering level of achievement, and the stress is killing my health.
Dumb. Just...dumb.
Note to self.
