The Viral Saga

a couple of weeks ago, i ran out of my multi vitamin.

then, last tuesday, it happened.

for the first time in what feels like a year:

i got a sore throat.

at first it didn't bother me too much. i told myself it wasn't going to happen. i'd kill it with my other vitamins right away. lots of C. lots of B. lots of Zinc. i can do that. and then i decided to go to the temple on wednesday.

now, several times i've decided to go to the temple on wednesday, then woken up to gray skies and snow, and cancelled my plans. this time, i was done. i sure showed satan what i thought of him. i went to the temple anyway, freezing my patootie off and hardly making it alive. in the temple, however, i can remember no pain, no discomfort, not even the sore throat. love that. soon as i got out, however, was a different story. i thought i was just tired though, so i went to a review for physiology anyway. of course as soon as i sit down, i realize that i feel like crap. i could barely even hold my head up and floated in and out of conscious listening in that seat for the whole hour (and i'm sure my physiology prof thinks i'm crazy, since i sleep through his class every morning then come to his review and "sleep" through that as well). i almost didn't think i'd be able to make it back to my apartment, but i stumbled across the campus, changed, grabbed about three blankets and princess and the frog, and sat on the couch the rest of the night, alternating between freezing and burning and barely being able to move. i watched princess and the frog, twice, plus just like heaven. then things just got worse-i didn't sleep all night, had terrible dreams in the five minute intervals i did sleep, then the next day i'm still achey and feverish PLUS no sleep.

you know what. if you're still reading this, you should probably get a hobby. this is pretty boring. i only wanted to post this because i thought of the name "viral saga" and it made me laugh. what great troopers you are!
