Broncitus and Blahhh

So, I've been sick since Friday, and it really sucks. I haven't had broncitus since I was in high school and I forgot how long it took to get over it and how many different stages you have to go through. Well, let's see - it all started Friday night when my throat started hurting. By 3 am, it was so swollen that I was having trouble breating and swallowing, so Matt took me to the emergency room. They told me it was just a virus and that I would be better in a few days. Well, I sat around feeling miserable all Saturday and then when I woke up Sunday, I felt even worse than before. Eventually, I figured out with the help of my mom that I probably didn't just have a virus, so Matt took me to the urgent care clinic. After 30 minutes of waiting, I found out that I have broncitus and an upper respiratory infection that's affecting my ears and sinuses. So, now it's Monday night, and although I'm feeling a little better and at least I'm not coughing every 2 minutes, my nose is still incredibly stuffed up and my head feels like it weighs about 10 pounds more than usual. Oh, and with all my sinus pressure and whatnot, my lymphnods on the back of my neck have swollen and so my neck and head have been hurting all today.

The only good news about being sick is that I haven't had to work at Walmart for five straight days. And since I gave them my two weeks notice two weeks ago tomorrow, I don't think I'm going to go back to work at all. I was technically supposed to work Tuesday and Wednesday, but I don't think I want to, and honestly I don't think I'd be able to with the way I still feel. Maybe I'll just go to Toledo on Wednesday and Thursday instead, if I'm feeling up to it since I missed today.

I can't believe school starts in three weeks. The summer has just flown by so fast. At least Matt and I got to go to the zoo a few weeks ago. It was something that I really wanted to do this summer and I was afraid I wouldn't get to with how much I was working and everything. But yeah, it was really great. Matt bought me this little meerkat stuffed animal and I just love it! Ok, well, I think that's about all I have to talk about for now. I'll try not to make it as long between my blogs from now on!
