The one good thing about being sick is that I quarantine myself at home and watch endless episodes of TV. In this case, it was Inside Amy Schumer (which is better than her stand-up, I think), and Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey which I don’t know how I haven’t watched yet.
Oh, and doing some writing but it’s not nearly as fun as Amy Schumer.
Yesterday I worked with a co-worker who was a bit sick. I didn’t get too physically close to her, so I thought I was fine. When I went over to a friend’s place last night, I suddenly started sneezing (I thought it might be allergies or dust to something in his apartment). Then today, I’ve been kind of sniffly and at around 8pm, I got super tired (but I ended up forcing myself to stay awake and made an apple crumble). God, I hope I’m not sick.
is lots of rest at home and an excuse to do nothing but watch movies all day long.
It only occurred to me last week when I was out of commission for a number of days and barely even able to haul myself out of bed to pee, let alone exercise in any way. Now that I’m almost back to normal, this little gut has miraculously appeared on me, as if I’m a few weeks pregnant. Part of me wants to reject the image-obsessed notion in the gay community and just be happy with the way I am, and I suppose at the very least, I’m not a raging steroid meat-head. At the same time, it would be nice to not feel fat when I put on my pants.
My friend James says it’s a good thing he exercises regularly or else he’d be fat. Now I know what he means.
I think this is the sickest I’ve ever been. I think I probably had a combined total of about 2 hours of sleep last night. I just couldn’t fall asleep. I was planning to edit my short film this week but now I don’t think I have any time. Dammit.
Curse you, viruses.
When life makes you sick, try and read a bit. Or in my case, pump yourself full of drugs and then groggily read a really fantastic novel.
Everything.
But especially not being able to make out with people. Darn.
Seriously. Why does the body get so tired when one is sick? Is it because it’s busy fighting off bacteria and viruses that it renders legs weak, arms flabby, and brain to mush? There’s so much I need to do and I don’t have time to be sick, dammit. Oh, maybe that’s it.
I remember reading about how students who get stressed are more prone to getting sick because their immune systems are lowered. But I’m not stressed. I could hardly care less about this term! No, I think I just have bad luck when it comes to contracting yucky things. My family certainly thinks so (“You’re sick again?!”).
How can I be sick when I just got over a cold?? Damn you, antibodies!
Since I was disgustingly sick over this past weekend, I had time to finally work on my personal website a bit. It’s still quite rough, and there are things about the layout that I want to change but don’t really know how but I’ll figure something out.
