just had to post because im almost euphorically grateful today.
ive been sick all week with a bad flu and then i was really stupid and went out on friday night. i had to go for a couple of drinks since it was a work thing but of course after a couple my flu wasnt bothering me any more so staying out a bit later seemed like a good idea. i got to bed at 4am. i didnt have too much to drink but woke up yesterday morning with my period and excruciating pain on top of 4 hours sleep, dehydration and flu. i was shaking, sweating, freezing then boiling, throwing up from pain, dizzy, not even able to spend the energy on crying from the pain. and on top of having been sick all week i havent been that miserable physically in ages.
THEN. this morning i woke up after sleeping for over 19 hours. i have intermittent mild pain and a cough and feel very fragile but i feel human again!! my body is just tingling with ... i dont know what to call it... peace from misery! lol. it being sunday i have no work. i have no obligations today that arent going to wait. its sunny out so i might go to the park. and my mind has been wiped clear of all depressing thoughts by the exhaustion of struggling through the last week. im content!! just had to let you guys know. it feels so good. and of course reminds me to be sooooooo grateful for the health i have, my little flat, good weather, having food in my fridge that my mother brought yesterday, my internet connection so i can be here with you all and my teddy and elephant hot water bottle that have been with me all week.
think i ll have a cup of tea now. another little pleasure that is magnified a hundred times today.
