Ramblings of a Wandering Luney

Man I feel like crap. I'm going to complain on here, so if you don't want to hear it I suggest you stop reading now. Not only did I start my period today for the first time in a long time, but I finally went to Redfern. I forgot how bad my period hurt. The muscles in my lower back get so tight it feels like my back will break and my stomach craps up. Problem is, the only way to make it stop hurting other than using heat pads that I don't have is to exercise (get the blood moving). But with my other sickenss I don't have the energy to, so its a bit of a catch 22. Not to mention I'm emotional. Then I went to redfern and when they drew blood they hit a nerve. I didn't even know you could do that, but boy it hurt. But the bad news was yet to come. I have mono. She told me, and courtsey of the period I started to cry. When she told me the symptoms and what was going on in my body, I got nausous and dizzy. She had to have me lay down. Which is weird, cause I don't get nauseous easily, especially over medical stuff. And I cried, again. Now I can't go to the fencing tourny this weekend and supposedly I shouldn't play soccer Tuesday. We'll see. But having mono explains a lot: why i've been so tired, why my sleeping patterns have been off, why my neck muscles have hurt, why I've had headaches, sore throat and my ear has been hurting like I had an ear infection. I thought I had just been horrible out of shape and out of practice in fencing. And I had no motivation to go anywhere that involved walking...like my study abroad meetings I havn't gone to or the peace corp meeting I wanted to go to or the FIMRC meeting I wanted to go to... So, for the next couple of days please be nice to me. Or, if you choose to tease me or what now, just know I might cry. Its not that I'm upset. I'll just cry easy for a couple of days. Once I get through the first few days of my period I'll be fine. I can handle being sick, but being sick while first starting my period is a little rough. Also forgive me if I'm not the nicest person or the most gung-ho about life. I'm going to try my best, I promise. After i get through these three days it'll be better.

So, I'm a bit bummed about no fencing, a bit sick, a bit tired, a bit moody...but classes are decent, I have good friends, and it's not like this will last forever. So, I'm gonna look at the bright side and enjoy the weekend. Tell me to shut up if I start complaining.
