I'm sick again. After a fun trip to the doctor Wednesday I've been taking some antibiotics. I should never again make out with Scott Ian, and Cipro is not pleasant. Yesterday there was a crazy windstorm and I thought that was causing my headache and bloody nose/sinuses. It may have, but the fever of 102+ could have been a factor as well. I felt awful all day and took some aspirin, which helped with the headache and reduced the fever to just above 100. I got an okay night of sleep but I still feel like garbage. I would very much like to NOT be sick at all, specifically with these random mystery illnesses that are so irritating. It is really hindering my life, makes me miserable, physically as well as emotionally plus I am no fun. My eyes are really itchy too, so I haven't been wearing my contacts as much. It is more of an internal under the lid itch, not what I usually feel from allergies. I haven't been wearing eye makeup either, so I have no idea what it is.

I'd like to know how 101 dollars magically appeared on my cable bill a month after I cancelled service and returned all my equipment. That's really fascinating, and I cannot log into the online system so I have to go down to the office tomorrow and deal with them. I'm sure I shall be informed of not returning a cord or some ridiculousness like that, even though I returned everything and was told a different number for the last month of service.

There was a social event in Norwexiland last night. I hung around trying to be social until 1, then I had to go to lie down because I felt like death. jazzgirl03 puked in the tub, which makes me very happy that I pay more rent to have my own bathroom. I'm assuming everyone made it home (or under some shrub, in a gutter, etc) as no one was lying on the living room floor when I got up this morning. There was one person very out of control, who also puked, and was insiting on driving home. Ummm, no thanks to drunk driving. Someone took him away, which was nice of them.

Not drinking for so long has almost made me not want to drink. I can't remember the last time I was drunk or in a bar, and that's a pretty different situation from my past. I looked at a lot of the motivations and reasons behind my alcohol consumption, and learned some things about myself. Even if I didn't have health issues I doubt I'd be out boozing like I used to. Also, dating an alcoholic (or two) has changed my attitude towards excessive drinking, and the behavior that goes along with it. I can drink a lot of alcohol (ten plus drinks in a couple of hours) and manage to maintain all my faculties, motor skills, and memory. I read in a magazine that with 6+ drinks (one every half hour or so) an average woman would be unable to dress herself, and would pass out and so on. I've never been able to find one of those charts with drinks/BAC/affects per hour by sex/height/weight that applies to me. With the amount I could drink and do keep it together, it was a little unsettling. I'd see other people drink less and be a complete mess (and this is a lot of people, not one or two), and instead of calling them lightweights or amateurs, I now realize that it is really just me. I can't imagine what my health situation would be like if I drank like I used to, and think this is likely a change that would have come eventually, but was easier to make with other lifestyle changes Hey, at least I've never smoked.

I need to get some food in me, pop some meds, and then get cracking on the studying.
