So this passed Tuesday, I wasn’t feeling too well. But it wasn’t anything serious. My throat was feeling a bit warm and I felt really weak and hungry, but I thought it was just the birth control I got back on (I have periods one day a month and that really bother’s Martin so he had me back on birth control in hopes to regulate the period, which didn’t work, but I decided to try it again anyway). We got to Cardio Kickboxing class and the warm up wasn’t so bad, it was just during the target practice where I felt really weak. Like my right hand was going to snap off every time I did a cross. Mr said I was being lazy, so I guess it showed, but really, I just felt really weak. My night wasn’t unusual, the birth control was making me nauseous so I went to bed, I felt okay when I went to bed…

Wednesday comes along, I woke up at like 5AM-ish with a fever, super achy and my throat felt swollen. It was hard and painful to swallow.

I stayed home on Wednesday and spent the day sleeping. I was miserable! I couldn’t stand sitting at the computer for more than 5 minutes at a time and I had an on and off fever. I hated how Martin couldn’t be there to take care of me because of my stupid OCD. When I’m sick, I usually just lock myself in my room and deal with it myself. OCD can really complicate things :(. Since I had on and off fevers, I decided to set an appointment for Thursday.

So Thursday I went to pick up Martin and headed to the hospital early since my appointment was at 10AM, I haven’t been up that early in long while. Which is sad, because 10AM isn’t really early. The doctor checked me out and said she didn’t see any puss pockets (which sounds gross, they couldn’t had called it something else? Something with a large name that makes you ask “what does that mean?” lol) so she did a swab test with me laying down, horrible. Then she printed out some papers saying I should gargle warm salt water, drink lots of fluids, eat soup, etc. and drop off the swab at the lab. So we did and we stopped by Safeway on the way home to get more soup, some salad mix, grabbed some chips for Martin and I got some ice cream. Yes, ice cream. I heard somewhere that eating ice cream when you have a sore throat is just as good as drinking something hot. And even if that’s wrong, the ice cream did make my throat feel better. MUCH better.

I spent the rest of Wednesday eating soup, drinking apple juice, napping on Martin and watching movies with him. I felt a little better, but not too much. I talked Martin into letting me take NyQuil before he left. NyQuil usually takes an hour to knock me out. A little after midnight, I was drowsy. I love being drowsy. Which is why Martin always puts up a fight when I want NyQuil, I’m easily addicted to medication and NyQuil is something he would rather me not take unless I absolutely needed it. I’ve been addicted to NyQuil before, because, as I said earlier… I love being drowsy and because I’m an insomniac. I have an extremely hard time sleeping.

I woke up this morning feeling worse than I did last night. And with a headache! Oh goodness how I hate waking up with headaches! Horrible! The good news is though, that it’s not Strep Throat. She said my sore throat may be caused by allergies but she didn’t see any when she checked my nose yesterday so it must be a virus that I just have to wait out. I took some Tylenol a few hours ago and took a nap, my headache is gone, thank goodness. But my throat is still bothering me. But I feel much much better today! Thank goodness!

I’m sick of being sick! It seems ever since Spring hit I’ve been getting sick every other week, literally. It’s so tiring. I take my Finding Nemo gummy vitamins, I don’t see why I keep getting sick :(. Hehe. Maybe Martin is right, maybe I should switch to something more adult (and boring) like One A Day. Once I kick whatever this is, I’m going to start taking more vitamins. I need to start taking Fish Oil, I had intended to a few years ago (I heard it helps with memory) but I also heard it tasted gross. Does that still apply to the gel tablets? Neka Zang (she plays the witch’s mother in the SF Wicked production, I’m a fan of hers and she’s such a sweet person!) insisted that they don’t taste like anything. So I’m gonna give it a try once I get better! I’ve been better at drinking more water, I’ve gone a few days last week without soda, I seriously do notice the difference! It’s amazing.

Sorry, I’m rambling :).

But we made it to our Debt Consolidation appointment on time. We went with MMI, we read a lot of good things about them and people were directing us to them and lucky they have an office in the same city as our school, so yay for being able to talk to someone face-to-face (which is what I wanted). The lady who helped us, pulled up our credit reports for the both of us and asked us a few questions. All together, our debt is a little over $26,000. I thought it would be more than that, I thought my debt alone would be that much. But hearing that our joined debt that was that much was a relief! I had prepared myself for much worse! She kept mentioning that we should file for bankruptcy because we’re “young” and we “have a lot of time” but the thing with me and bankruptcy is that it stays on your record for ten years. And there have been horror stories about people who, even after ten years of filing were still declined for things like a home and a car because they’ve filed for bankruptcy before, period.

So if we were to go with the money management program, we’re looking at paying a little bit over $600/month for the next 51 months. I haven’t added the calculations up just yet, but I will in a bit. But either way, that’s way less than what we’re paying per month now and we can’t rack up any more APR than we already have. I don’t see a downside to this. And on top of that, my credit cards will be frozen (even though I don’t like this idea, I know in the end, it will be good for me) and I’ll be unable to use them. I say we should do it, Martin however wants to file for bankruptcy. Seriously, what is it with men and not looking at the bigger picture. If anything is pissing me off about him lately its his no-this-is-a-better-idea when it’s NOT because HE hasn’t researched any of it!

Anyway.

He also had the bright idea to nap in the car before our orientation/workshop for school. And what happened? We ended up being late and he somehow got lost even though we were only a block away from school. THINK. Goodness!

The workshop was helpful, I mean… it wasn’t rocket science but it was pretty informative and indeed helpful. I love how most of the staff are actually students at the school, that makes me feel more at ease. We filled out and submitted our first assignment via student website and we printed out our syllabus (which was like, 17 pages long) and our first chapter of reading (which was like 23 pages long). Free printing, hell yes!

I’m pretty excited about this, I’m excited to finally get my GE done! I’m debating between Marketing or Web Design now, but I think I’ll stick with Marketing. School starts on Monday and I’m nervous but excited! Nervous because I don’t know how this whole “working teams” thing will work, I’m not good with working in teams. I like working alone. But I guess this is a great way to network. Me and Martin are just hoping that we’ll end up on the same working team.

So last night while we were in workshop, my nose was running. Like, non-stop and I was sneezing. Not that allergies-sneezing but that crap I’m sick sneezing. But it didn’t fully hit me til we were driving home. Thank goodness. I was thinking of taking some NyQuil before bed last night but I didn’t think I was sick enough to take it. So I didn’t. My nose and my left eye were running, all night long. It was horrible! I actually went to sleep a little passed midnight, which is 3 hours earlier than usual! I would had loved to curl up and fall asleep reading a book, but my OCD wasn’t permitting last night! Hopefully tonight, though I don’t want to read 3 books at the same time. We’ll see though.

I woke up this morning feeling even worse. I was congested, sniffling, throat was still dry and icky, I’m feeling a bit warm and getting some chills. I took a nap about 2hrs ago, I can’t decide if it made me feel better or worse! Goodness, and now I’m coughing! Ugh, I’d love some loving husband hugs and kisses right now. Who needs medicine when you can have loving hugs and kisses?!

It just sucks when I’m sick, husband cant be here. I’d rather be in the comfort of my own room – alone. And because of my OCD, he can’t be in my room. At all, right now. I was actually planning on cleaning my room this weekend before I had gotten sick, so now, its being pushed back, again. We could just chill downstairs, but I’d rather not because my parents are always down there talking and making noise and when I’m sick, I just don’t want to deal with that. My dad has been going crazy with his OCD tendencies lately and it’s been driving me nuts.

This is why I wish we lived on our own. Somewhere quiet, comfortable and somewhere I can be sick and have him be around. Without being bothered, without the random noise! I hate that we’re 24 and we still live at home. We’re married, 24 and still live separately with our own parents. I hate this, I hate this so much.

Anyway, after that we headed to Valley Fair. Went to Bare Escentuals first and I got those eye make up remover q-tips ($5! I’ve been missing out!) finally!! I found them!! Thanks Sammie! Haha. And I also finally got my brush for my crease. Yay! We also got a free sample of Hydrating Mineral Veil. I’m excited to try it since my skin is always so dry. After that, we headed to the food court to get something to eat. Then to Nordstroms, then to Lush (and she gave me half of her Honey I Shrunk the Kids soap! Aww, how sweet!) then to MAC (didnt get anything, booo) and a few other stores… then to Sephora (didnt get anything there either… booo!) after Valley Fair I brought her to Pinkberry. Tried to find somewhere to have dinner and decided on Quickly’s back in Daly City.

So we headed out to Daly City and walked over to Chase then to Avon (which was closed, darn) and stopped by this little Asian store and got some gummy choco’s and some dried octopus legs, yum! Quicklys was pretty good, they had a large selection and their bento boxes were pretty good. And they had Udon! Haha. After that we dropped Sammie off and headed home. Me & Martin stayed up wayyy too late the night before so we were both really tired by the middle of the day LOL. Like, I was getting super sleepy. And it was hot, so I guess that didnt help either!

I got home and made a video of me opening my gift since Sammie wanted me to and OMGGGG. OMG! OMG OMG! Haha. She gave me so much stuff!!! I’ll take pictures of everything and post it later, but OMG! I think my favorite part of it all was the note on the Serendipity napkin (the only free part haha, sorry chick!). It was sweet! But I did LOVE everything she gave me! OMG haha. My battery died before I got to the last part of the gift and of course, you cant remake opening a gift video! Haha. So its okay! I’ll just post the last part in pictures. But aww, I feel so spoiled! Thanks Sammie!!!

I went to bed early last night cause my allergies were kicking my ass. I woke up feeling like shit still, ugh. My throat hurts, I’m all sniffly and its HOT!!! Having massive allergies with flu like symptoms and it being hot is never a good thing. Then again, I always get sick in the summer.

Today I plan to clean my room and fix up my web page, this project is so damn discouraging.

I need to figure out school stuff too, and I’m so scared I’m making the wrong choice all the time, dont you hate when that happens? *siiiigh*.
