ah, friday.  here we are again.  today will be a long day at work, but upon its completion, it will be well worth it.  So yesterday Elliot and I went to Best Buy, to obtain some dvds for $8 a piece.  Among those dvds were the Harry Potter movies.  The interesting part was, when we looked around, we couldn’t find the Harry Potter movies anywhere…. all we could find was a price tag on the dvd stand for the first Harry Potter movie, saying it was $8.  This might lead one to believe it had sold out, except that there was no empty space where the movie had been.  It was all packed tightly with other movies.  So, after searching the whole store for some random stand where they might have put the movies, we asked someone, who informed us that they had all the Harry Potter movies “on hold” in the back.  We never really figured out why that was the case, but she went back and got them for us so we could purchase them.  Apparently you have to really really want to get the Harry Potter movies in order to get them for $8.

So I am better now, if you don’t know.  I’ve been more or less better since Thursday, when I returned to work… but, every day has been progressively better then the last ;).  I am pretty much completely there now though.

So today I bought a cd and some movies that I have kind of wanted for awhile….  the movies were all $10 a piece at Best Buy, except for The Shining, which was $15.  The other movies were…… Black Sheep, Terminator (i realized i was lacking the first one), 28 Days Later, Edward Scissorhands….. I think that’s it.

Also we went to see The Weather Man in the theater.  It’s pretty good.  I enjoyed it.

Anyway, I am going to go to church tomorrow, so I should go to sleep now.

Later

well, life does get more and more fun.

so i went to the doctor today…  whilst there, she confirmed that i have a virus of some kind, possibly the flu, and prescribed me some medicine to help with sinus drainage and whatnot, as well as telling me some over the counter medicines to use.  so, naturally, i assumed, all right, medicine…. since i’ve been starting to feel better anyway, and now with this, i should be all good soon….

well, i was very, very wrong.

while i have less stomach pain, i have about a billion times more itching.  Yes, nice big splotches of itchiness all over my arms, and, for some reason, only on my left foot.  Yes, apparently I am allergic to one of the medications given me, and my body decided to thank me for trying to make it better by breaking out in nasty itchy hives.

so now i await my mom’s return with bendryl so that i can hopefully get better through it and not have to go to the hospital, which, honestly, would just be a most amazing finale to this whole sickness fiasco……

Edit:

All right… no trip to the hospital for me.  My mom provided me with benadryl which was promptly taken, and now my arms are hive free…. though my left foot still chooses to be swollen and itchy… my arms are what were bugging me the worst.

So this is the sickness that just won’t end.  I thought I’d
actually feel better today…. but…..  apparently
not……  I am really sick of having a fever and feeling
crappy.  I really wish that there was something that I could do to
make it go away 😛

yeah… so i passed out earlier……  that was fun… i’m ready
to stop feeling so miserable now….  in case anyone was wondering.
