The very next time I refer to Math for Liberal Arts as "Math for Retards", someone please punch me in the head. That shit is no joke, son. And it is made even less of a joke by being at nine in the morning on a frigging Saturday.

Combine that with me being sicker than I've ever been in a long-ass time and you've got an unhappy me, who is slightly worried about her GPA.

Yeah, it's that bad.

The illness I have been struck down by is refusing to leave my system. It's centered in my sinuses and makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a cold spoon. My mouth is horribly dry because I am forced to breathe through it, my nose is raw from being blown over and over, and I have a constant headache from my congested sinuses. It's as if some Devil Squid has taken up residence in my sinus cavities and refuses to jump ship.

All of this, whilst in the midst of an open enrollment for benefits at work with a two person HR department. hoom. I went home early yesterday because I couldn't think straight anymore.

I have two online exams due by the 16th or 17th that I haven't even cracked the book open for, I took one exam on Tuesday for another class that I'm pretty sure I screwed, I have Math for Geniuses homework due on Saturday (and he gives us a fucktonne of work), the apartment is a disaster, the snake needs to be fed, I need to gather up clothes for Ella's Naked Lady Party on Sunday, I need to arrange for Purple Heart to come pick up the Caddy, I need to take the Mini to be inspected, and I have three packages which desperately need to go to the post office.

If I wasn't feeling so sick, I wouldn't only be slightly crazy at all of this. But, the illness makes me shut down completely. I'm so scared of this developing into an infection because I don't have health insurance (can't afford it) and can't afford a doctor's visit.

Oh honey.

This is gross & uncomfy -- but are you willing to try neti pot? I have had it work in the past with the sinus crud, when nothing else would, not even antibiotics.

meetzemonsta, it sounds like you had the evil death i had for over two weeks during the entirety of my winter break. UGH! my heart goes out to you.

[meetzemonsta.livejournal.com]

What did you do to kill it?

[polianarchy.livejournal.com]

suffered for ten days, and then finally took the z-pack antibiotics. it lingerd for a few more days after, too. fucking hell.

[meetzemonsta.livejournal.com]

I thought about one of those. Are they expensive and twiddly to use?

What the hell *is* this sinus thing? I thought it was just people up here, but more and more, it seems like *everyone* has it. It's been two weeks now for me, with a week on antibiotics, and I still feel like I have a lead mask on my sinuses. I can't imagine doing all you are with this crap in my head... good luck. <3

I also applaud you for even trying college-level math. I went to the school I did because they gave me more financial aid than anyone else, but also, because they didn't even *offer* math and science, so I wouldn't have to worry about it. It was possibly the #1 motivating factor, to be honest. You're badass. But you knew that.

Fuck this math. Seriously. FUCK THIS MATH.

I just got done doing my homework for tomorrow morning? And my brain is on-fire. Like, with flames and shit. I've started to talk to myself as I did the work, which is not going to fly in class.

It's weird math. Not like algebra or calculas or somesuch. It's like non-linear thinking.

And I'm not badass. I'm sniffly. >:|
