| 5:05 AM - the flu? or just stress? As any friend can tell you, I'm not one to wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to fall back asleep. When I can't fall back asleep, the situation can be pretty threatening: I start thinking of all the things I have to do, what's due the next day, what I have to finish in time to graduate, whom I have to call back so I'm not a bad friend, how I need to come up with a final project, how I can put together a presentation for Wednesday and another for Thursday, and how that paper will write itself this week.
THEN I start thinking of this weekend's party plans, and the fact that maybe no one will show up and here I'll be dancing alone (a la the IATWTC song). And after the party I'll have to get ready to fly to New York City, and how will I see all my loved ones there for a sufficient period of time? There's never enough time!!
As I started worrying about all of these things, I noticed that my head was aching in an all too familiar way and that my lower back and tummy muscles actually felt sore. My stomach is grumbling in an unappealing fashion, and my overall state could only be described as "icky."
If I'm getting the flu, I will scream.
Dear Flu, don't visit me. Or, if you do, make it a one day thing. Thank you.
My hopes were that if I wrote a little about my stressors on here, I'd be able to sleep more soundly. I'm afraid the opposite might be true.
Ick and ow,
Janet
