It feels like it's been such a long time since I posted last. I will try and do this justice by bullet points. The short version of the story is that these last 2-3 weeks have been absolutely crap. Let me emphasize that: ABSOLUTELY FULL OF CRAP.
Let me begin:
I went to the beach and got a really REALLY bad allergic reaction to food, which sent me straight to the doctor on literally, another island. Got back to Manila had to have checkups and I was on meds.
A week later, drama ensued when C was nowhere to be found. This part is his story, but I will say that those were the worst, and I mean WORST 12 hours of my life. Not knowing where someone is, is NOT BLOODY COOL.
On top of all these anxiety attacks, plus those that come when the bills and rent statements come in, I had to bring myself to the ER twice in a span of 8 hours last Friday. A rash last week kept spreading and though they kept shooting me up with steroids, it came back later on that night...which led to me being admitted into the hospital (by the insistence of C and the docs) for the weekend. All glorious fun. I'm now on hospital grade meds til next week. They will have to test me next week as to what I'm allergic to since they couldn't do it this weekend. The reason is that if they had added more allergens (?) into my system, however small, it could just send me into a coma style allergic reaction because I was hypersensitive already. To add onto that, they found a slight infection from the urinalysis.
*SIGH*
Thanksgiving is today. I'm going to say that I'm thankful for still being alive despite all this; being able to maintain relationships with my family and friends where they still love me, and for the music. ALWAYS the music. If not for the music, I would be clawing at walls now. To list some of the other things I'm thankful for:
I'm thankful for my kitties who keep me company even though I know they only see me as a food dispenser / bed / tummy scratcher.
For "Mad Men" and "West Wing" for being intelligent escapes.
For the internet that endlessly keeps me entertained with fluff.
Aromatherapy for making my nose happy.
Medicines that keep whatever is wrong with me at bay.
My new job which I hope will start paying soon.
Canned goods and microwave jalapeno popcorn.
C for letting me in.
Water - which I will now treat as my siamese twin.
Cigarettes - my ugliest and filthiest habit, and favorite (and only) vice. You suck, cigarettes, but I love you, all at the same time.
The holiday season, which is letting me know that slowly, but surely, this horrible year is coming to an end.
Thankful for thanksgiving today to mark the long weekend ahead.
Hope you all have a good Thanksgiving, whomever is reading this. :)
