So there are good days and bad days. For everyone, really. But good days are days when I feel good lately, and the bad are when I don't. Today was a bad day. Plus, I havent heard anything about dylan so I'm kinda worried about that. My parents went to Jamie Tucker's funeral today. They told me that tyson went up and sang a song to his mom....i just broke out in tears. My prayers are with the Hale and Tucker families this week, it's a hard week for both of them. I'm not really in the mood to write today so I guess I could just say keep those two families in your prayers too.

Today has been nothing special. Just felt like crap and thought I had tuberculosis. (false alarm by the way) I think the highlight of my day was making sugar cookies with my dad who stayed home from work for no reason at all. It was nice. I've been sketching and writing a lot in my moleskine notebook, finally. I finally have the time to do that. I'm trying not to think of all the things that are stressing me out, but not putting them totally out of my mind. Anyways, I guess there's really not much to report on this end I guess. But then again, it's only 4:50 in the afternoon, and everyone knows the good stuff happens at night.

hello!

So this is me with a blog? Right. Well. I just figured since I haven't been at school or whatever people might want to know what's going on! Or not, you know. I mean how interesting could I be? Ha. Anyways! I've now missed about a week and a half of school and have no knowledge of when I will be returning. Scary right? It is for me. So the low-down on "the sickness". I have a severely swollen lymph node in my neck. And I do mean severely swollen. And the one on the opposite side is showing signs of swelling. We originally thought that my tonsils were going to have to come out and this was the full extent of the problem. But after some antibiotics and a few more doctor's visits a conclusion had been made that this was not a tonsil problem but a lymph node problem. They gather bacteria and infections and things but they shouldn't get this swollen. but other than these swollen things on the sides of my neck I've been really weak and had lots of high fevers and a loss of appetite. I had to get one of the most uncomfortable things to me done about 3 times in the past week---blood tests. Eek. So they thought I had mono...great! Finally we had a diagnosis. But wait a minute...that would be too simple. The tests came back negative. So I had to, in the span of 3 hours, get a tuberculosis test at the doctor's office, go to the hospital to get another blood test(they filled up 3 huge vials! ahh), and an ultra-sound on my neck. So here I am again. Waiting to know what's wrong with me. In the meantime I will continue to stay in bed, watch the OC and various movies and see what's going on inside of me. And since I have had all of this free time is the reason I decided to have a blog...for me to have something to do mainly. But if there were people out there who were interested in reading, I guess here you are!
