i just can't kick this thing

So i've been "sick-ish" for the past 3 weeks. i keep thinking i'm better - and then i realize i'm not. My symptoms have been weird, all very vague, and at times seemingly unrelated. Today i was planning on a nice day off. I'd worked all weekend (more on that later) - so was going to take today to do the things i normally do on weekends. I was gonna mop my floors, do some laundry, so some language study - and i was most excited about heading down to the ocean to sit and journal and listen to a sermon (i haven't been down there in a month)...then i realized i felt miserable...and that maybe the tiredness and soreness i was feeling was more than just the residual effects of a full weekend.

I went to my bedroom, turned on the AC (its a luxury...came with the flat, but i have to pay for the electricity it takes to run it...and its a lot. this is the first time i've turned it on), and crashed. Not exactly what i had planned for today.

I did call emily and ask her to check on me in a few hrs, and she came by this evening with some dinner, and a thermometer (so i can tell if i actually have a fever - i bought a thermometer 2 weeks ago, and then broke it!) When emily came over i was feeling better cause i took some medication which helped a lot - but she still said i looked horrible, which was actually nice to hear. sometimes i feel like i'm just being a pansy when it comes to being sick...since this thing has gone on so long...and is so random - i'm well one day, laid out the next...

so, i'll probably go to the hospital again tomorrow (sounds drastic, but really its just like going to the dr. in the states). Hopefully i can get some meds, or answers - something...but after 3 weeks of messing around with this bug, or combination of bugs i'm ready to be well.
