I woke up this morning seriously thirsty and dehydrated (even though I drank A LOT of water yesterday). Then Dad checked my temperature and it was 102.9. Not good. So I took some Advil and ate a popsicle and went to the doctor. She said I have a sinus infection. I'm the only one in our family who gets them. I've only gotten one once before, in February 2004, right before our trip to Florida, but it was more like a never ending cold then.
It's really not too terrible to be sick--I mostly feel ok if my head's resting on something, and I just get to lay around and listen to HP on tape and eat popsicles. The bad parts are: I'm going to have a lot of schoolwork to catch up on and I have to take antibiotics. I hate taking medicine, though I'm sadly getting good at it. It's not a pill, it's chewable, and it tastes better than "the purple stuff" (which is my ultimate medicine nemesis) but it's still medicine.
I'm going to watch the Princess Bride this afternoon I think, because the boy in it is sick. :) It seems like he had what I have--fever and a bit of a cough. But until then, Jelly Blobs of Doom, Kiko Match, and Freaky Factory await.
About Me
- Katie Y.
- I'm a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His and I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My future is secure. I'm done and finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals. I don't have to be right, or first, or tops, or recognized, or praised, or rewarded. I live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by Holy Spirit power. My face is set. My gait is fast. My goal is heaven. My mission is clear. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice or hesitate in the presence of the adversary. I won't give up, shut up, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes. And when He does come for His own, He'll have no problems recognizing me. My colors will be clear!

Princess Bride is a great movie.
Just wondering, have you ever had your wisdom teeth removed? Sometimes the wisdom teeth are very close to the sinuses and by removing them can cause more frequent sinus infections. If you haven't had them removed, the next time you go into the dentist ask them to do a full x-ray of your mouth to see how close the wisdoms are to the sinuses. That might be the problem.
As u wish ;)
