This is Anne... Complete and Real
Published on November 19, 2004 By Tangled Wishes In Blogging
I got the flu, I am pretty sure. I went to bed at about 2:00 last night, completely sober and without having smoked marijuana ALL day (first time i've accomplished that in a while!!!!). I woke up this morning to my alarm clock that read 7:38 or something like that, and reset my alarm from 6:58 to 7:58. When my alarm went off at seven fifty eight, my first thought was, strange, I don't remember hearing my alarm more than once this morning before i changed it. But it had to have gone off at LEAST three times before in order for me to hit the snooze (or else the snooze continually went off for... 40 minutes without me waking up? NO WAY! But either way the first thought was i must have been a zombie or something like that to not even realize i'd woken up three times before. Usually I know.

Then the second thought was "ohhhhhh myyyyyy freaking GOD does my stomach hurt! This feels like the hangover from HELL! What did i drink last night?" The answer to that was "nothing". I took a shower, cursing myself for not having bought any conditioner and for not having any money really to buy it with. Somewhere in there I developed a head ache closing in on a migraine (which is still alive and kicking), and symptoms such as aching body, hot flashes and cold flashes have been striking since. I feel like I'm getting a fever, you know that feeling, so it should be an interesting Friday night (in bed eating crackers [mommy prescribed] and soup) watching movies. Why do I have to get sick on Fridays!!!!!! I had to close at work tonight too. Thank God I still don't (Dana I love you I am indebted to you forever!).

I hate calling in sick, too. I never get a more guilty feeling than when I call in sick to work (I think I've done it ONCE at Dairy Queen in the two years I worked there, hangovers so debilitating that I could barely walk and all!!) because I was sneezing every five minutes and snot was dripping down my face, and the night before at work I had sneezed when someone was ordering, and it was probably the most horrifying thing for the both of us (but funny, they laughed like mofos). So then everyone was like, Anne, if you are still this sick tomorrow you should NOT be working with FOOD!!!! And I got sicker. So I had to call in sick. But I felt sooooooo bad! I just don't like missing things, I guess. I never missed school in HS for being sick, either. I had to be puking to miss school for being sick. Of course I had lots of appointments and things so i DID miss school, just not by choice. Oh and I skipped for sr skip day, but I fuckin did two hours of "schoolgrounds upkeep" because I wasn't a pussy like the majority of other kids in my grade and have my parents write me an admit slip. I didn't even ask my mom, I just said, hey mom I'm going to skip school for senior skip day, so I'm probably going to have detention one of these days and she was like, "okay!" It was worth it though. Most of the girls in my grade all went out to eat at Art's Cafe and then I spent the rest of the day (including our Friday night play performance live in front of oh say 100 PEOPLE) drunk as a MOTHER FUCKER!

Anyway. I love my mommy. She is funny. I called her to ask her what i should eat since I'm sick and she told me. Then i asked her how much vacuums cost, since Kris and I need one for our apartment (MOVING DAY IS SOON!!!!) and she was like, "Oh, those fucke- uh, excuse me, those stupid things!!!" My mom does NOT swear. If you knew her, you would just burst out laughing to know that she almost called something a fucker!!!! That is not my mom-speak. Apparently she and a coworker of hers were on the way THAT VERY MOMENT to a store to buy a vaccuum for my mommy's office. I'm going to miss my mom a lot this summer.

well bye bye. I guess i should go to sleepy.
