"morning sickness?" - kody

Today was like any other day where I had 3 hours to kill and nothing to kill em with. But of course, when I bump into Brock, it can only mean one thing. We went out to blaze and I did just a little bit before walking back to school to chill before we had class. I was tripping out like crazy when I plopped on a couch in the lounge. The feeling was an old familiar one, but not the one that I liked. It was the same bad feeling I had when I blazed (it was a good idea at the time) after doing shrooms this past summer. A few minutes later I found myself running up to the ladies room to hurl. I was alone during the worst of it, but soon enough I started freaking out and crying, calling for help. Luckily my friend Becky heard and came to my rescue. I thought that was the end of it, but i was wrong. I puked four more times within 30 minutes. The fourth time I was certain I had vomited the entire contents of my stomach and that that was the end of it. I was wrong again. The final time I booked it up the stairs, Mark was there wishing me well while on his way out. Then he noticed my hand over my mouth and sensing the urgency, opened the door to the ladies room so I could make it to the toilet. Thanks to Mark and thank god I made it.

Note to self: Do not blaze when on prescribed medication.

My puke was orange, and I wasn't really sure why at first. Then I thought about it and recalled my penicillin tablets are orange. I got sick because wasn't meant to blaze while on antibiotics.
Lesson learned.

In other news, I am falling in love with Bob Saget all over again. I grew up watching Full House religiously. That show pretty much raised me. The other day, Tim was showing me clips of his roast on Comedy Central, and ever since I've been watching all 8 parts that I found on YouTube, along with videos of some of his stand up.

Straight up. I love Bob Saget.


Stay classy ladies&gents,

Dorothy, actually.

Blindness

Tim and I just saw Blindness at the Rio. A friend of mine who had the chance to see it at the Toronto International Film Festival told me it was really hard to watch. I now know what she meant. I often had to cover my eyes with my hands or Tim's hands, or bury my face into his shoulder. The sunken feeling in my heart reminded me of how Children of Men was also very difficult for me to watch. I liked it anyway, and I definitely recommend watching Blindness if you're up for the challenge.

After having seen a lot of disturbing things that nearly brought me to tears, I'm afraid of what I might dream tonight. 

... I have an infection

( =O not that kind of infection!)

...and have been prescribed penicillin. 

Since my family doctor was fully booked today, I walked in to a clinic near 41st and Victoria called Care Point Medical. My doctor's name was Bob Love. HAH. Dr. Love. Anyway I found out my throat is indeed infected and I must take my antibiotics 4 times a day. I've only had two tablets thus far and I feel significantly better already! The only thing worrying me at this point is the disturbing list of possible side effects. Oh well. I'll worry about the diarrhea and mouth sores if/when they ever happen.

Stay classy!

1 week 5 days later...

I'm still sick with this weird sore throat/cough. It's strange because I only cough in the morning when I wake up, or right as I fall asleep. And by cough I mean hacking to the point where I might cough blood, or start vomiting.  So long as I stay on my Benylin 24/7 I've managed to keep it at bay for the rest of the day. My voice comes and goes depending on how much I talk, but it usually comes back. I thought that I'd be better by now but maybe this bug is worse than I imagined. Everyone at school is getting sick. My mom is sick. I think I got my boyfriend sick. Oooops. This morning, I woke up and my throat was pretty swollen. I've had problems swallowing since Sunday, but this shit just went to the next level. I should probably see a doctor. I probably need antibiotics. 

Thankfully I have the day off (no work, no school!) to recuperate and get my shit together. I think I just might stay at home all day. If I do go out, I really hope to get a manicure. I've been biting my nails again since trying to quit smoking (I'm a sometimes quitter). I read that smoking and drinking alcohol can cause sore throats which might be what did it for me. That and probably coming into contact with someone who had a virus. Shiiiiiit. I'm starting to read all the medical stuff I googled and am getting very paranoid. Hhahha. I really hope this is just a cold. 

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
