If you don't want to read an "I'm feeling like shit thread", don't open this
Yes, I said it. I'm feeling like shit. I've been having familial problems for the past month or so, and as a result I have missed a lot of work as well as the past 3 weeks of grad school classes (they only meet once a week).
Last week, I started to get my life back together and planned on going to class tonight. You see, I have a presentation I have to do with two other members of the class. They have been more than understanding about my familial situation, but I still felt bad about not being able to meet with them to plan the presentation. I told them that I would be there tonight to do my share of it. I am NOT the kind of person that can sit back and let others do the work for me while I take the credit. Usually I'm the one who ends up picking up the slack for lazy group members.
Well, guess what fucking happens? I get sick. I'm not talking about *cough, cough* sick- I think I have the flu or strep throat. I went to work this morning with a fever (stupid me just thought it was early morning shittiness), only to go home at 10 am. I thought that if I just got a few hours of sleep, that I would feel better and be able to make it to class tonight to do the presentation. Well, I tried to nap, but I was shivering so violently under 3 blankets, and my back, neck and arms were aching so much that I couldn't sleep. I took a scalding bath, hoping that it would break my fever, but I didn't break a sweat. I ran out of Aleve yesterday and all I have is Tylenol PM- I guess that's what I'll be taking to help my aches and fever, because I have no desire to go to the store to get more. I wish a store around me had some sort of delivery for things like that.
There's no way I'm going to class tonight. One of the girls in my group is pregnant, and I would not want to expose her to any sort of virus or infection. Add to that that I almost fainted earlier and I keep dry heaving- I don't think I would present very well.
I called the girl who's pregnant, and she was so sweet about it. She had told me earlier in the week that I shouldn't go, and that her and the other girl understood about my situation, but as I said, I hate getting credit for other people's work.
I definitely owe these girls some kind of gift, or lunch or something. Not only am I physically sick, but I fel terrible about being able to make it to the class for the presentation.
Bleah.
