think again.
Better yet, thank your lucky stars and laugh at me being a ding-dong poor bastard and realize your life is probably pretty flippin good in comparison.
To elaborate, the first of many things that made this my shitty week was:
1.)A cold.
A cold in and of itself is not a bad thing. This I can live through just fine and be perfectly content and happy. It was the:
2.)Systemic poison oak spread to the inside of my ears and nose
that made it slightly miserable, the stuffed up sinuses aggravated by itchy poison oak blisters really doing it for me.
How I got systemic poison oak all over my body is a mystery.
I went up to my boyfriend's parents' place to start our new project of building a guesthouse for them, and since we're building it in the woods, I figured there was bound to be poison oak. I get poison oak just by looking at it funny, so I took extra precaution by covering up every exposed part of my body like a good girl, stayed out of areas I thought may have it, and made sure I took a shower with technu soap afterward.
This to no avail.
Two days later, with a cold and a poison oak sprouting up like springtime in ungodly places, I went to the doctor and was prescribed:
3.) Steroids.
The problem with steroids, other than making me loopier than little latin Lou, is that they are probably as affective as meth or cocaine in putting someone to sleep. As a result, this week I have routinely laid awake until 5 in the morning getting an average of 2-3 hours of sleep a night.
Awesome sauce.
Another thing about steroids I have come to find out, or having poison oak for that matter, is that you are also not supposed to be out in the sun while you are on them, which is why:
4.)Snowboarding all day in the hot sun without sunscreen and cooking my face
was probably a big fucking mistake.
So, laugh.
Be merry.
Thank your lucky flippin stars.
But most importantly, enjoy your spring break and if you don't have one, still be thankful you did not have my week.
