An adventure…

I would like to fill you, all my lovely viewers, in on where I have been this week. This tale is not for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach, for there is much gruesomeness involved. Oh yes… much indeed.

The week started innocently enough. Tuesday was to be my 26th birthday. It started out innocently enough. I went out to breakfast with a good friend of mine, which was quite delightful. We sat and we talked and we ate. I had a strawberry crepe and she had some eggs and some other stuff. LIKE I REMEMBER.

Anyways. We left the breakfast place, bound and determined to have a good day, as I have said, it was indeed my birthday. Birthdays are generally joyous occasions, as you may or may not remember. I wanted it to be a good day. However, I started to become grumpy for reasons unknown. I am generally not a grumpy person. I’m actually light of heart and of foot. That’s why I’m seen dancing frequently at the night clubs.

As I said, I started to become uncharacteristically grumpy. We had to wait in a line at Starbucks and I was not happy with this. So unhappy, in fact, that we left the line and I demanded we go home. I wondered to myself… “self… why are you so grumpy? It is your birthday. It is a day to rejoice and have fun. You are closer to 30 now than 20 and THAT is a celebration in itself. You need to cheer up and get back out there on the streets and have fun!”

But, alas, that was not to be… For, I began to feel tired. And a little woozy and just… not right. Not right at all.

Then I remember that my dear… DEAREST friend, even, who I had happily had been eating breakfast with just moments prior, had just recently had this:

Ugly, isn’t it?

What, might you ask, is that? Oh… that, my friends, is what we call the FLU VIRUS.

YES! I had CONTRACTED the FLU on my BIRTHDAY! And OH what a JOYOUS flu virus present I had received on my birthday.

I then proceeded to be violently ill for the next 2 days.

And then on the third day, I felt like I had iron weights tied to my legs.

ISN’T BEING SICK FUN?!

So… um… I’m back.
