"God forbid your life becomes boring!" said the universe and gave me acute tonsillitis. I can't even begin to describe how painful it is. I had to go to our equivalent of an emergency room yesterday, got prescribed antibiotics, and now I do feel better, but for a couple of days I was in total agony. Thank God for amazing friends who helped me with soup and general support; I couldn't even stand, sit, or sleep. I am feeling better today, but I still can't talk. Not that it hurts (it does, but everything hurts right now), it's just quiet and weak, like the voice is just gone. I have to cancel classes, which means I lost income, which piles up on top of meds and treatment costs, and behold - I am again on a budget. I do have a financial pillow, so it's not critical or anything, but it's still added stress that I could do without.
But like they say, when a body tells you to chill out, you either listen to it and rest, or it will make you lie the fuck down and not move.
