Mighty 8th Air Force
Uploaded by peachy92.

I was by myself for dinner tonight. Bitterness entered my thoughts as I was at Applebee's. I don't want to discuss it. I just want to move on. I brought my dinner home.

I did have a busy day. My father had me go out to Bill Waits RV World to get him some TV wires. The RV joint is across US 80 from the The Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum. It's $10.00 to visit, but it's well worth it. It's main focus is about the The Mighty Eighth Air Force and its role in World War II. The 8^th was stationed mainly in the UK. The museum has planes, engines, clothing, nearly anything dealing with the 8^th. It even has a memorial garden and a chapel. I took some pictures of the museum, like this one of the Boeing B-47 Stratojet on the campus. The pictures of the museum are in my West Chatham Flickr Set.

On my way home, I made a short stop on River Street. I took a few pictures of that area, too. They are uploaded in the Savannah Flickr Set. I think they are cool, considering the lighting outside when I took them.

When I got home, I found a check from my school in the mail. Freaked me out, because as far as I knew, I got all my financial aid for this semester. Seems with my high grade point average, major, and standing in school, I'm eligible for a $2,000.00 National SMART Grant. I never even heard of the grant before today! Someone's looking out for me. Seems my major is critical to national security. My dad is wanting me to work for the government when I get out of school.

That's been my day.

And I enjoyed it! Most of my day dealt with laundry. With our washer under, waiting for repairs, I went to laundromat. I had my clothes to do, my bedsheets, and my dad had me do his bag of laundry since I was going out. So, I spent a few hours at a laundromat on my side of town. Being sick, my laundry piled up. Now, I have clean laundry, a fresh bed, and some peace.

School yesterday was fine. I blanked on one part of my Calc quiz, but it shouldn't be that bad. I knew the part of the class I did miss! I should at least get a 5 on it. Client/Server class was simple. So, I guess it's back to normal for me.

Thursday Threesome:

Onesome: A Day--or so ago? Oops, wrong meme. Wait, that might be cool... "A Day or So Ago, I saw......." You fill it in !A day or so ago, I saw my bedroom. I was sick. Finally, yesterday, I started to feel normal again.

Twosome: in-- case of rain, do you carry an umbrella? ...or do you just hoof it in a hat? Yes. I have a small one stored in my bookbag just in case.

Threesome: the Rain-- in Spain? Nah, how about locally: has the rainy season kicked in for you yet? Snow? Nothing? Come on, it's almost Thanksgiving here in the States! We did have part of that nasty rainstorm, that's in the north now, blow through town. Thanksfully, we missed the worst.

Okay, back to school for me!

Last night, I didn't sweat as much as the past few nights. I got a few things done so far today. I made some appointments for things that needed to be done. I also took a few photos of the animals, at my father's request. Got a funny one of Gizmo chomping on Harri. This is the first day in a week or so that I haven't felt so loopy. I'm aware of my surroundings.

I'm returning to school tonight. I may have no clue what we're talking about in Film class tonight, but I am going. I've got to get back into the swing of things, even if it's just for one day next week. Yeah, Thanksgiving is next week. I have to finalize plans for that.

I also need to get off my butt and start working on some of my final projects for my classes. I have a book to read for film, a short paper for Calculus, and group project for Client/Server. I can work on the book and Calc papers no problem. It's just to get the professor to give us more details for our Client/Server project.

That's it for now.

I've had night sweats the past few nights. They haven't been fun. I had a small episode in my nap today. This time, they brought a nightmare. Okay, so showing off Nashville to an attractive guy isn't a nightmare. However, specific details in the dream were nightmarish in nature. I awoke puzzled and shaming myself, in addition to feeling like shit from the sweating.

I did go to school today, but didn't attend any classes. I went to take my Client/Server exam. My professor could see I was sick. Several classmates could see I was sick. I'm not myself at the moment. I wanted to take a nap before the exam, but I couldn't take one. I took the exam and left school as soon as I finished. As soon as I got home, I took a nap.

Sore throats and night sweats. What fun it is to be me at the moment. Tomorrow, I am getting back to normal. I must.

I am still sick. However, I hope today is the last day I have to suffer. I have the flu, a sore throat due to post-nasal drip, and 2 ear infections. The throat and ear problems are secondary complications from the flu. I really wish I knew where I caught the flu. But since Tuesday night, I have been miserable. I've darn near slept nude the past 2 nights because I have sweated so much, my whole body is wet. There's been no getting comfortable.

Saturday, I tried to help myself, but ended up hurting myself. I used some homeopathic ear drops my mother bought but never used. After doing that, my hearing decreased. So, I decided to clean my ears. I don't normally use Q-Tips, but I did this time, in hopes of absorbing the ear drops. I cleaned my ears, but my hearing got worse. I could hardly hear for over a day. Finally around 5, my dad took me a doctor. My ear drums were blocked by ear wax. The Q-Tips just impacted the wax. They had to irrigate my ears. Boy, were they blocked! My dad was shocked at the amount of wax impacted. However, I could hear and the doctor confirmed the ear infections. He gave me amoxicilin for the ear infection and told me to get some more rest. He told me not to return to school today.

So, I haven't been on vacation. I have been in and out of consciousness. I have been spent most of my time in bed, save for the few times I've been in the living room, the trailer, or in the bathroom. I've been on the computer a bit, thanks to my laptop, but I have mostly watched TV. I caught the Buster Keaton Twilight Zone episode last night. I saw a CSI marathon, seeing some episodes I have never seen before. I saw a soft rock infomercial. I cried for my mother the same time I wanted the CD collection. I lost it last night at the end of Cold Case. They used the original version of "Landslide" at the end. Having a sore throat, it was hard to try to hold back the tears. I had to cry when the pain got too much. My father just had to hold me after that outburst. My father understood what I was thinking, because he was thinking the same.

Illness sucks.
