Sick
By: Low quality
I feel the scratchy throat burning my sides every time I dare to swallow my saliva. I don’t remember my saliva being this thick or sticky, oh wait it’s mucus… The snot in my nose only clears up as I hold my breath and my lips are chapped beyond feeling. They are numb and dry and crave water or any sense of relief. I sneeze, blow my nose, drink tea, and repeat. By day 2, I have drunk 6 cups of tea, 2 cups of vitamin C, 3 cups of water, 2 Tylenol pills, and slept for 12 hours. BEST 12 HOUR SLEEP EVER. By day 3, I’m at 80% functional, and my voice has returned. I drank another cup of tea, and am forced to finish the buttload of work my teachers assigned. BOOTYCHEEKS. Day 4, though all symptoms are gone officially, the sneeze and snot stay like freeloaders in my house, or in this case, my nose. Little buggers, or should I say boogers…hehe I’m so funny.
Day 5, I return to classes ready to face the week, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THERE IS A QUIZ MONDAY, TEST THURSDAY, AND QUIZ FRIDAY.

Imma cough on you and your food if you keep giving me work.
Never mind….
Illness, take me like a sweet Victorian child and leave me bedridden so I can be in the comfort of my bed and sleep for another 12 hours. I will dream of the sweetest dreams and cuddle with my plushies and 13 blankets on my bed.
(I just realized I miscounted the days..UGH)
