Week 43, Entry 1
Mar. 16th, 2023 08:55 pmThere are a great many things that have taken place since I last wrote here. I am not sure where to start from, although I know for certain that it will have to be across multiple entries.
I have now been sick twice in one month, although I am unsure whether what took place today was a cold or just very bad allergies. Last week, I was sick from Monday to Thursday, and now I have been sick all day today. I woke up with no appetite, only thirsty and congested. Taking decongestants only did a little work, and food remained completely unappetizing. I took my meds, though, to make sure I didn't miss anything. More on that later.
When I later awoke, I didn't feel much better, but I knew I had to eat, had to pull myself together to get to the library a few hours after that. I washed and dressed, but I was unable to breathe through my nose. Food was...there, I guess. I ate it, it was food. My parents recommended that I not go to the library today, and I took their advice. I informed the library, and went straight back to bed.
When I woke up again, I felt somewhat better, but that made me feel even more angry and frustrated. I changed into clean pajamas, then went downstairs to interact with other people, and have some food. I knew what I needed -- something hot and protein-rich, immediately.
I had a microwaved breakfast sandwich, which I was scared to have at first, because Mom is so worried about my becoming diabetic.
But she said that it was okay, so I had it, and felt SO much better afterwards! It felt as thought I was far more alive, and when I had a cup of hibiscus tea as well, I felt as though I hadn't been sick at all. Well, except for not having much of an appetite.
Since this evening was all about simple foods, I asked for Mom to make me oatmeal (I am not to go in the kitchen). It was very warm and very filling, which was the only thing I needed out of food tonight. Then I went upstairs and took a shower, made my bed, and now, here I am.
I think I will go downstairs and have another apple, as well. I can hear Olivia downstairs, so I will ask her to get it for me.
