now people just get uglier and i have no sense of time

ok i'm officially beat up and tired.

i was sick for days last week--and i'll admit, it was fun first, you know, all the uber attention you get and mom's constant couch service--but it gets boring, sooner or later. so i was back on my feet on monday--and now i'm back in bed. rain's not treating me good these days, it feels good to get all wet and emotional, but i just can't seem to get better. something triggers the illness again and bam, i'm done.

i did learn one thing though--you can't write much when you're not sound in the head. health turned out to be precious after all. so i don't really have that much to say, i'm tired, coughing my lungs out and have a mean headache.

but i will say this; human beings are in need of each other's attention almost pathetically. all you can think of when you're lying down in fever is who had noticed your absence--or who'll give you a call in a minute. The outcome of that? well, that's something to talk about for another day. now i have to run.

be well.
