Julie's Journal

Oh this week has been hell. I have been so tired, achy, and just plain not well at all. I have 1 fever blister, 2 cold sores, and another one on its way. My monthly visitor, Aunt Flow, has kicked into high gear making me totally forget the last couple months that I thought maybe I was going to come around and have normal visits again. And my neck…OH MY GOD…my neck feels like someone has shoved a large knife in the base of it and every now and again gives it a little twist that shoots pain from each shoulder, back and forth. Someone take me out back and just shoot me puhleasssse!

I’ve been getting plenty of rest, eating right, and we’re on the go every single day so it’s not like I am sitting around getting no exercise whatsoever. I’ve even been walking to get food at lunch instead of driving for it. I’m down to ONE soda a day and sometimes I don’t have one at all. I’ve been drinking enough water to cover my entire families recommended intake for the day. So yeah, I have no idea why my immune system is telling me that it hates me right now. I thought I was being kind to it.

I went to the doctor on Friday and she ordered X-rays on my neck. I had those done and I hope to hear something this week. Aunt Flow is just the bitch she always has been and I just have to deal with her. And I have to play the waiting game for the cold sores to go away.

Maybe I just need a vacation. Anybody want a house guest? I promise I won’t bitch and moan too much.
