out sick .. again!

( chinese medicine cabinet: from roaming-the-planet )

hello friends,

i just don't know what is wrong with me. it feels like i was just sick with a sore throat. well, as a matter of fact, i'm sick again! this one is kind of worse. you know the kind of sick where you can't taste your food and your head has so much pressure you feel like it's going to explode? yep. lucky me..heh. but at least i don't have a sore throat. it really does make me appreciate my taste buds and i will never take them for granted again. i wish i could just taste food again! hopefully soon.

i slept all day yesterday. it is insane how much one can sleep when they're ill! i have slept a total of 30 hours in the past 36 hours, believe it or not.

i'm taking lots of tylonial cough syrup but it is such a tease! it helps for temporary relief, and then the headaches and naseua come back. i am really weird about taking medicine. i don't like it. i guess i just hope that i will get better on my own. or i have some weird feeling the medicine will make me worse. i'm the one that gets the bad side effects the labels say you might possibly get. yep, lucky me again. so maybe that's why i'm scared to take medicine.

i have no idea where this came from..well, maybe i do. i was at the renegade craft fair this last weekend. i was super tired, talking with lots of people, handling all the money, and looking back, i didn't wash my hands before i ate my lunch that day, ew. nick said it was inevitable i get sick. i felt strange immediately after leaving on saturday .. so on sunday my symptoms were really worse and it was sort of miserable. apologies to anyone who stopped by and chatted with me, i may not have been myself.

i just have to mention: nicholas has been the sweetest, taking care of me and everything. he even drove to my place during his lunch yesterday (which is a good 19 miles each way!) to bring me some fruit, crackers, and orange juice. (for some reason, i really wanted those things.) i don't know what i'd do without him. and the sad thing is, he will probably get sick from being exposed to me :( sad bear.

so according to the doctor when i went at 9 last night after having a bad fever, i have a sinus infection. totally have no idea what that is, so of course i looked it up on the internet ;) "could last up to 10 weeks" yikes! let's hope not. well, sorry for the long winded post about being sick.

anyway, i really want to do a follow up to the renegade craft show, it was so much fun! i met TONS of wonderful people. so hopefully i can get that up sometime this week. and i know i promised you swap details, so i will try to work on that! plus, i have to get better asap cause i'm hopefully doing the san fransisco renegade next weekend! but for now, i'm going back to bed.

i was able to get the 'weekly giveaway' up so be sure to check it out below ... you could win a lovely print from gabrielle kai!

have a lovely week dear friends.

xo.
