sick slinky lizard

I'm sick with something unidentifiable from a catscan. But it's not really that dramatic. Headaches and sinus aches, today muscle aches and fever. The doctor said that I was having migranes and that I had the flu, but I've never had a migrane that hurt my sinuses before. Eitherway I'm slinking around the house, like one of those transparent lizards(that crap everywhere), from dark bedroom to dark kitchen to dark bathroom and back(but I'm not craping on the cabinets and walls like those dang lizards). I won't be going to school tomorow, do some homework and sleep catch up.

We went to the emergency room when I decided I was really sick enough to see the doctor because you have to schedule appointments about a month in advance. Pretty quick service but I'm not sure she really had any idea what to do since I wasn't bleeding all over, so she sent me down to the cat scan people and decided she'd see if I had any thing in my sinuses. The cat scan guy was pretty funny, first he asked me if my husband was here, and I gave him a funny look so he said, single? Married? Divorced? What what? Then later on he said, "So your dad asain? Your mom? who asain in your family?". It's actually the first time anyone has commented on my almond eyes. Probably because it's not too exotic here.
While we were waiting to get some migrane-subduing medication a very sick woman was brought in by the ambulance. The whole family came with her. Her son, her husband, or maybe it was her son and grandson, I couldn't really tell, her face was bloated. And even though I really felt like a sick slinky lizard, or more, especially because I felt like a sick slinky lizard,it was really easy for me to momentarily focus all the good energy I had on her, and her family. And it felt really good.

So I left the hospital with some useless, but cool, pictures of my brain.
I hope I hope that whoever that was is alright.

Good lord it's 9:30 I'm supposed to be catching up on sleep.
sweet dreams,
Katie
