Oh self. How do you fail so hard?
In the course of a single afternoon/evening, I have: acquired a huge bruise on my hip from walking into the corner of the railing on the walkway in front of the dorm, given myself a stomachache from eating too much junk (mostly popcorn at the movie), and done that thing where I'm walking (on a perfectly flat sidewalk even!) and step on the outside edge of my foot and my ankle buckles, sending me in an undignified sprawl on the sidewalk.
Sometimes I really have to wonder how I've lasted this long, when I can turn even walking down the street into a slapstick routine.
ETA: Well, I guess being sick could also explain the upset stomach. And the fever would certainly explain why I went from being all dead from the heat to shaking so bad my computer's making morse code messages against the bed frame. Son of a bitch. I'm signed up to work tomorrow, and I really don't want to have three weeks out of five where I have to send my boss an apologetic email saying LOL SORRY I MISSED WORK I SUCK. I damn well better feel better in the morning. (and WTF body, I felt fine a few hours ago!)
ETA2: God, Pepto Bismol tastes foul. *shudders* And I feel bad about using roommate's (unopened) bottle without asking, but she's not here and I can't find my first aid kit, and I think she'd mind this less than me puking in our room. And I did wash the dosage cup like five times in scalding water, so. PLEASE WORK SOON.
Gah, sorry for the spam, but I can't sleep while my stomach's upset, and it's really terminally boring lying in bed trying to figure out how high my fever has to be for how long before I can justifiably call out sick from work again.
I HATE BEING SICK.
