stupid lungs

i was coughing all yesterday and was really dizzy to the point of almost fainting - i did once - whenever i walked around. i took nyquill three times in the night to help me sleep, but i still only got a few hour. ive been awake since 5am. now i am coughing up yellow guck. ew. time to make a doc appointment. bleh.

i need to shower - i smell like sick - but im afraid of standing up. maybe i will take a bath instead.

now i will watch some boring weekday morning tv in hopes of falling asleep. later, i will work on my sociology isu and study some more for a nutrition test. vitamins. fun.

cough. cough. stupid prematurity. it makes me more succeptible to lung infections, so when i get colds, they often beat up my lungs. my friends little sister, also a preemie, has the same problem. shes worse off than me though, for she has bronchitis almost all of the time and pneumonia at least twice a year. poor kid.

also - who drives their big SUV around in the parking lot for half an hour and honks their horn and then pushes grocery carts around? cause that person is not very well-liked by me right now.
