sick sick sick...

so, it's the second weekend of school and guess who's been sick all weekend. 'tis right, it's me. i don't know what more i can say except that being sick and alone is one of the worse feelings out there. steph was sick too... but a different kind of sick.

chills, aches, fever, cough... i had it all... and to be obedient, i followed my mom's 36-hour remedy. it works for me even though the process of digesting all the lemon juice and garlic and such is quite gross and tedious. only that i was eating expired garlic pills and the wrong strand of acidophilus and stopped drinking lemon water after remote recovery Saturday night, which led to a relapse of the chills, aches, fever and cough on Sunday morning.

the worst part is being hungry with nothing really that i can eat b/c 1) the 36 hour remedy is really restricting with what you can eat. think about it, what does not have sugar, white flour, or red meat these days? very few things... aside from veggies and such... 2) b/c i really have no groceries. i already got past the few days by eating only 2 meals in the past 3 days. so tonight (Sunday), i decided that i will find something to eat. i scraped the upper layer of fruit on the bottom yogourt (since the fruit part has sugar) and mixed it with hard-boiled egg (from adrian) and then squished it in my rye bread with spinach. and muah. i wish i took a picture to show you guys. it sounds gross, i know... but surprisingly, it was yummy. :) so if you're sick the next time... eat rye bread, yogourt and hard-boiled eggs. :)

you should just bundle up in a sleeping bag and your blanket and try to break the fever. Keep warm is the key.
