My brother had gastro and he gave it to me, but the symptoms only kicked in during NYE. Meaning I spent the entire night feeling like shit and unable to sleep. Still have aching joints, burning fever, and a stomach that feels like its hosting an ulcer convention. Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh.

As in gastroenteritis?

I had that once in Nepal. It was awful. Lost something like 15% of my body weight at the time and was essentially non-sentient for a week. My family did a great job taking care of me and I was back to normal about a month later.

Nah, it's very mild. I'm already feeling somewhat better, my legs feel a bit shaky, that's all.

Came home from the NYE party where I did not get drunk yesterday, and the second I closed the door, I had a massive fever and somthing that must have been the worst fever dreams I ever had ever. Took me the past 24 hours to get my mind into something of a working order and some more fluid than pineapple juice in me.

I just wok up, and my body is showing signs of weakness, like succumbing to some kind of an infection. I'm not surprised, given almost everyone who was at NYE with me is apparently sick now that we're all back.

it's a really bad time to be sick tho, since i've gotta fly back to Winnipeg tomorrow...

Got seriously riled up on the New Year (not Eve). Friends took to calling me a 'golfer' and make references to that and laughing like hell about it... but they won't tell me why. They say if they told me it wouldn't be funny anymore. I asked them to stop several times but they just kept on doing it, so I ragequit and went home (which took me over 2 hours, by the way). I'm seriously furious about this, and I'm actually starting to question our friendship if they value having a laugh from time to time over me being, you know, fine with it, or not feeling hurt about it. How do I make them understand that this is a serious matter?

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Trying to juggle social life, holiday homework and my fitness regimen is starting to annoy me no end. And this is before I go back to school, when the shit will REALLY hit the fan.

I have the creeping fear that the tempo in which you guys post is getting too low to keep me entertained for my whole workday nowadays.

I'm pretty sure it's the massive amount of light that my window lets in.
Luckily last night after work I patched it with some cardboard and my room is near pitch dark. Slept well.

Couldn't sleep all night because of a terrible stomachache and had to throw up twice, the second more solid than liquid.

SO SORE.

Helped my friends move into their new apartment, which entailed 3 days (one for each of them) of moving beds, couches, desks, and boxes up either the (8 flights of) stairs, or packed tetris-style in the tiny elevator.

Not only is this the first Christmass Eve i'm not with family, I also have a 5 hour shift at work, so I can't have a Christmass meal with people in residence. I'm not religious, but it still feels... unsettling.

also, i'm still slightly sick, and it robs my energy levels. I have enough to get by with what I need to do (study, work), but all the time in between I feel like a zombie, totally out of it, just going through the daily motions.

I can't wait for the weekend to come, so that I can just take some time and get organized.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.
