I think I just figured out why I ache all over and my nose is running a bit and I'm more tired than I should be (even taking into account my 6 hours of sleep).

;_; I might be catching a cold and I'm entering that horrible part at the beginning of it when you just want to *die* because everything hurts and you feel like shit and can't really do anything about it. I have a midterm at 5:30 today. I still have cramming to do. I'm finding it harder and harder to concentrate by the minute.

DO NOT WANT. ;_;

pleeeeease be something else. I can't even get up and go buy Cold FX from the campus pharmacy because I'll lose my spot here in the library noooo. ugh.

Actually managed to get up on time (yay!) and made it to the bus stop early (yay!) just as the bus pulled away (DDD8). I called a taxi and waited a few minutes but then another bus pulled up anyway so I guess the one I'd missed was just the previous bus running really late, lol. Regardless, I got to campus around 9 and handed in my assignment. C:

Got my bloodwork done. n_n I walked into the lab and there was this nice little old lady sitting in there. She was SO nice and SO good at it. They have a recliner in there and she rested my arm on a pillow while she did the procedure and she got it first try and everything and just... eeee so much better than the last time it happened when it caused my dad to faint. XD

I made a follow-up appointment with the doctor I saw the other day but the only days available were November 16th and 18th. ;_____; The 16th is the day of my last midterm (calculus ugggh) so I really need to spend the day studying. The 18th? That's the day Assassin's Creed II comes out. DDD: Mom wants to come up for that so the day is just gonna be... ugh. Classes in the morning, then doctor's appointment, then mom will chill with me for a bit idk, then I write an algebra quiz. It'll take forever just to go GET the game, let alone play it. BAAAAAW.

Went to classes afterward and didn't feel up to going all the way back home and then back for my afternoon class so I just grabbed lunch and then studied in the library all afternoon. u_u; The quiz I wrote in the afternoon tutorial didn't even have half the stuff they told us to study ugh. The course site specifically said the quiz would be on 3.1 to 3.4 and it was only up until 3.3. I hate when that happens. ~_~

idk if anyone's noticed but... I'm trying to blog every day in November. Even if it's just boring crap like this. :( The beginning-to-mid-week stuff is always gonna be this boring but I swear I'll have less mundane things to talk about later in the week. Maybe. Probably not.

Wow today was so much nothing.

I accidentally stayed up on PC with ausaudriel until 5 last night, trolling each other. @_@; He artificially ran up my notification count to over 30 million and hasn't switched it back, lmao. I was doing Calculus at the same time...! But yeah, ended up waking up at like noon.

Spent the rest of the day doing calculus and finished the assignment around 4:30 by which point I figured it would be too much of a hassle to head out to campus to hand it in since I wouldn't even be able to get my bloodwork done before/after. So instead I'm waking up extra early (by which I mean, like, 8 am lol) to get it in by 9:20 tomorrow. *sigh* At least the lab in the clinic is open that early, though, so I should be able to get my blood drawn before my first class so I don't miss any. Yay! (...I guess.)

Ugh, it's nearly midnight. I should head off to sleep. x_x

I feel like I should write an entry but I don't really feel like it. Here's what I've been up to.

→ Over the weekend I literally locked myself in my room. I was replacing my locks and accidentally closed the door while it had no handles on it. :(

→ I've been in a drawing mood lately. Which sucks because I'm so, so out of practise that I can't draw very well anymore. I've basically been drawing Cherrim all over the place. XD;

→ We have visitors staying in our house. Most of last week was spent cleaning the house--with dad and I doing all the work. Came home yesterday and had to rush to clean up even MORE since my mom said she'd finish one of the guest rooms but it was still all dusty and messy. Ugh. Both of us are super stressed.

→ We have fruit flies in the house! Last weekend I blamed mom for it but now we're blaming my brother. :] We figured out why there are so many flies on the upstairs floor instead of just the kitchen--my brother had a rotting banana in the garbage can in his room. Probably there for months. How the hell does he manage this??

→ I've managed to get sick. Again. Or maybe this is just the usual, I don't even know. But I haven't been sleeping well for the last week, I'm constantly overtired, I keep getting chills, I have a pounding headache almost 24/7, and I'm so nauseated all the time. Do not want.

→ Got 4 hours of sleep the night before last, then had to get up and come to work. Then got 5 hours last night because after dad came home from hockey at 10 (my bedtime), I was yelled at because everyone wanted to watch a DVD and my brother had messed with the cables behind the TV. Had to try to set it up. Failed. Came back upstairs. Eventually they got it working at 11:30ish and watched a music DVD (so loud music was blaring right under my room) until pretty late. So. Fucking. Tired. ;_;

→ Learnt yesterday that sending a package of basically the same size and weight costs more to send 5 hours away in Ontario than it does to send to Australia. CANADA POST, I THINK YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.

→ I... I hope I'm not getting into Axel/Roxas again. :( I've really felt like drawing them the last few days. (Mind you, most of it is just friendship fluff but not all of it fffffff.) This after I FINALLY figured out what my KH otp is. >:(

→ twitter deleted like 8k of my updates. :( I swear I had over 4k (someone says I had over 8k) and yesterday I had 200. I wonder if it can be fixed.

→ I really want to go to sleep omg.

If it's not one thing, it's another

While I'm thankful that I don't have any like... life-threatening disease and what health issues I DO have aren't that bad, I'd still really, really like to have just three months--maybe even four--where I have no issues whatsoever. Maybe just a cold or something. 'Cause this is ridiculous.

Currently juggling cramps, massive onslaught of daily nausea, insomnia, and possibly carpal tunnel (or at the very least, repetitive strain in my wrists). I can't eat, sleep, work or play without feeling like shit and I'm getting so sick of it I could just cry. I eat something and feel nauseated soon after. I can't sleep at night because I don't feel well and my cramps are so bad at night. I can't concentrate on work for all of the above and the repetitive motions of filing, photocopying, typing, etc. aggravates my wrists. My leisure time now? Hahaha... ha.. haa.... yeah I use the internet a lot. Favourite pasttime is posting on a forum. Hard to do when already my wrists are burning a bit from typing this much of an LJ entry. Even if/when I take a break from it all, then what? Can't play video games--that's just as bad.

I'm using LJ for whining too much but I just... don't DO anything otherwise. Got internet working on my laptop again recently and installed Windows 7 but the setup is really, really bad for my posture/wrists soooo can't use it much. Caught up on my anime as of today (or will be once I finish Eden of the East tonight) so nothing to do there. I keep promising friends we'll play *insert game here* or I'll be online to talk on *insert day here* and all I can do is let them down because I just... I can't. ;_; Ugh.

I kind of want to just go to sleep right now but lol it's 5 PM. I also really want to finish 358/2 Days (I'm so close!) but it's probably the worst of all my current activities for my wrists. XD;

I've been alternating daily between feeling good and feeling horrible, it seems. Today's been one of those horrible days and I hope I'm feeling better in the morning. I really need to get up and take a shower since I put it off all day and now it's bedtime but... augh. So listless today. :'( So here I am typing an LJ entry instead.

Today was father's day. I cleaned up the kitchen and tidied other areas of the house. I wasn't well enough to go out to get his gift so mom picked that up for me. @_@ My brother and I got him the new Tiger Woods golf game for Wii... the one with Wii Motion Plus. He mentioned the other month that he really wanted another golf game and was thinking of getting it for a console so this seemed like a good gift. :] He said he liked it so I hope he enjoys it. He didn't give us any gift ideas this year and I was a little worried he'd think we were just getting a video game so we'd play it ourselves or something but I have little interest in golf games and only slightly more in Motion Plus anyway so... yeah.

Not much else to report. Saw Angels & Demons on... Friday, I think. Then finally saw Star Trek yesterday. I have never seen an episode of TOS (or any movies) before and the movie made dad want to see them all again so I think we're going to start either buying them or renting them. XD; I'm looking forward to that since it seemed really interesting. (b'-')b

We're heading to NJ again this year like we do almost every year. We'll be down there for the weekend of the 11th. Mom and dad said they're thinking of spending a day or two in NYC again and I got a positive on going back to Nintendo World. Watch them clear out all the decent Pokedolls again this time. (Last time I went, the only ones they had were like... Grimer, Igglybuff, Bonsly, etc. Then like two weeks later someone went and posted pictures from the store on pkmncollectors showing Pichu, legendaries, etc. FFFFFFFFFFFF) I want to get another Shaymin (because I totally molest mine when I'm high and it's not looking like a collector's item as I originally intended XD) and maybe some others... and some Tomy figs. :DD Eee I hope we do end up there again.

LASTLY I'm finally getting into the interesting stuff in 358/2 which means I actually have to stop and translate stuff in cutscenes now, haha. I'm on day like... 270 or something. I just hit the MOST CONFUSING CUTSCENE EVER OMG. It was a voiced one so I couldn't even pause to translate and even if I had I think I'd be confused as fuck anyway and just aaaaah. Aaaaah. What did I see omg I don't even know. 8| Assuming I've been translating stuff right though, it IS super interesting right now. And yay the inside of Castle Oblivion got a cameo and it made me way happier than it should have ahahaha. *dork* I can't wait for this to come out in English so I have more people to fangirl it with. ;~; And so I understand it completely, haha. So many gameplay mechanics are going right over my head, I think. (Also did I mention on here that Marluxia's default weapon has my name in it? I'm not even kidding! It translates to "Traitor's Erica". :DD All of his weapons have names of flowers in them and aaah omg his super ugly default weapon is my name. I had a total dorkgasm when I realized!)

...I need to go take that shower and get to bed. :(

Ugh, okay I need to get out of this not-updating funk. :| To be fair, though, I did try to do a voice post last week and the Canadian LJ number wasn't working. fffffff. But jeez, only three entries this month what the heck.

→ School's over. Final exams went okay but idk about the courses themselves, haha. Thinking of maybe taking some time off school. Depends how this summer goes with work, maybe. I just do not want to have to deal with my medical issues in another school term again. Being high on painkillers over and over in the middle of a school term just throws me off and makes it so hard to get back on track.

→ Got a job back at the microbrewery my dad works at. Lucked out and managed to get a job assisting with accounting again thank god. Didn't wanna work in the plant and if it had come to that, I probably would've started looking elsewhere. Of course this means I'll be getting up at 6 AM everyday starting next week.

→ It's nice being home. I'm kinda rearranging my room a bit. Well, I was but then I got my Pokémon collection mainly set up and my desk moved near my bed and set up my computer and monitor and... and I kind of forgot about the rest. XD Will finish this week though, haha.

→ I dunno what's up but I haven't been well rested in ages. Mom says it's because I'm just overtired after the exam period but I'm not sold on that. It's just... I've been getting enough sleep (ie sleeping between 7 and 9 hours and waking up on my own), getting too much sleep, getting too little sleep, etc. I can wake up and not be sleepy but I'm so tired and listless these days. I have so little energy. :( I dunno if it's the insomnia kicking in (because I haven't been taking my hormone pills--heat flashes returned too) or something else entirely. It's bugging me and I think my parents are getting kind of annoyed by it too. ._.

→ There was a windstorm/thunderstorm last night and man it was crazy. It didn't SEEM that windy while my mom and I were out driving home but omg we got home and noticed a tree in my neighbour's front yard had fallen down blocking one side of their driveway. O_O; Then we noticed a tree in *our* backyard fell down. Then this morning we woke up and found that a huge tree in the neighbour's house across the street eventually fell over too. XD; It's crazy.

Okay I think that's about it. Not much else of interest to say, I think. I wanna go back to bed.

ugggh. I came down with a cold last night. Like. Between the time I signed off and started getting ready for bed, I got a runny nose. By the time I actually crawled into bed, my sinuses were all clogged up, my throat was sore, and I had that really, really shitty feeling you get when you catch a cold--you know where you're just so tired you can't function? Good thing it happened at night but the problem was I felt so shitty because of that AND cramps that I just couldn't sleep. XD; So I had one of the crappiest sleeps I've had in a loooong time. Baw.

Anyway, on the way to work today dad remembered that yesterday we got a call from the doctor I saw last month; I seem to have a surgery date. October 29th, which is a little weird. Sooner than I'd expected, especially since she wanted me to get an ultrasound beforehand and that's scheduled for November 18th so... so that'll have to be rescheduled. XD I called to confirm a few hours after I started work but they don't answer phones on Friday so I just left a message asking if I should just arrange an ultrasound elsewhere or what. :/ There's also supposed to be a pre-op appointment so I don't know when that is. @_@; Augh, now that I have a date for it I'm kinda nervous. It's... it's not major and it's a typical procedure, though, so it won't be too bad. At least, if it's successful, I'll finally be rid of these goddamn cramps. DD:

*sigh* I'm just counting down the hours until I can go home. x_x;; I'm exhausted, my nose hurts, and I'm so sleepy. (Painkillers + cold medicine? ogod I'm like asleep anyway skldjfs)

I've spent the last two days literally feeling nauseated for almost every waking hour. I hope it's just because I forgot to take my pills yesterday but I'm not sure it'd make much of a difference on like... the fourth day. @_@; Work has been AWFUL because I feel sick constantly, I'm overtired, and I get headaches often. I can't concentrate for more than 5 minutes at a time, I can't listen to music because the isolation makes me feel sick (yeah I dunno) and I'm not nearly as attentive.

Honestly, I'd stay home from work tomorrow except we came home a little early today and I didn't finish some reports so I said I'd do them tomorrow morning. T_T; Mind you, if I stayed home I'd have to finish cleaning up the house because my uncle's coming over but at least I'd get to sleep in.

tl;dr - Does anyone have any good ways to deal with nausea? D:
