I suppose I'm getting better. I'm still dealing with stomach pains and cramping, but I'm more alert now. Do you know, I've actually gone days without turning my computer on at all. Now, I stay off of computers when I'm on vacation, so it isn't unprecedented. But I never go a day at home without at least checking my email. But I did this week.
To be fair, I was totally absorbed by the
Twilight Saga. I read all 4 books (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn), twice. I became totally immersed, and am already missing the characters I grew to love. This series isn't for everyone, of course, and I wouldn't insist that you all read it. It's become a permanent part of my collection, though, and I would recommend it to those of you who are at all intrigued.
Other than reading and watching the Olympics, I haven't done much. I tried to go to work on Monday, and I made it through 2 hours. My boss took one look at me when I walked in and tried to send me home, but I wanted to give it a shot. By the end of the 2nd hour, though, my legs burned as though I'd just run miles. She told me to just stay home until I'm well, so that's the plan. I need money though, so it's a short-term plan.
If I'm strong enough, Randy is going to drive me to school tomorrow to get my books while there are still some used copies to be had. I went online to the school's bookstore; if I only buy used, and only buy the required books and not the recommended ones as well, I'm looking at $500 minimum. And on a side note, why not just call Human Biology "Anatomy and Physiology" if every textbook and supplementary material is called "Anatomy and Physiology?" Only the lab book has the words "Human Biology" in it. Time to buy
Anatomy and Physiology Demystified and
Anatomy and Physiology for Dummies, I think. I believe that's about my level right now. I'm so not ready for this coming semester.
I think it would be cheaper and easier to drop out of school to give birth to a herd of elephants, than to finish my education.
No wonder I don't feel well.
