hello, old friend.
3:22 AM
I remember all the feelings;
and the day they stopped.
-----
hello starshine,
status: still sick.
this morning I woke up bright and early to try and go for a run but I'd only run for about ten minutes before I started coughing big, biiig coughs like whoa, ouch.
grrrr.
of all times to fall sick, Cara, you genius.
should I go for training tomorrow? it might be pretty pointless, seeing as how I'm pretty much useless right now when it comes to running, but maybe if I go, Mr Irwan can give me...oh, idk... a workout that'll make me better? :/
I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
today RJ and Gwen went jobhunting so Kat and I decided to go along.
I took my meds before I went.
"omigosh Cara the well-manicured princess' gonna work part time?"
"hey. my nails may be manicured but I know how to get down and dirty so there."
about every thirty seconds or so one of them would turn to look at me with a funny expression and go, "...why're you here again?"
"uh. to find a job...?"
"but you don't need a job."
"yes I do."
"no you don't you've got unlimited cashflow."
"HA I wish! ... I do so need a job."



on the way back from the first pitstop at dempsey, it started to drizzle.
then started to rain.
then started to pour.
then started to phwoaaaarrr.
so there we were: four jobless, broke little girls sharing two umbrellas and becoming wetter by the second.
okay, so it wasn't as bad as all that. we weren't broke.
and THENNN just like in the movies! some red car drove by and sent an almighty tidal wave of water our way.
I would've laughed only it totally isn't funny in real life.
Kat borrowed my umbrella to get to her busstop, so RJ Gwen and I huddled under one tiny umbrella and made a mad dash for our busstop... and still ended up looking like drowned rats.
"oh great now I'm gonna fall sick. again."

unglammmmm!
status: at home.
I've been wandering around the house pulling bottles out of cabinets and crinkly pill packets from drawers and popping/drinking anything that says "for fever" or "flu" or "cold".
I've got so many meds in me, I could open my own pharmacy, I could.
so I shall stay indoors all huddled in the warm blankets and with the fuzzy eskimo negative ion cap my mum bought yesterday and with my tinkerbell mugful of hot, hot water
and snuggle up with my poetry and the green quill pen my granddaddy gave me because it makes me feel like an olden day writer.
this poem made me cry yesterday.
the sister's lament.
I'm addicted to online poetry now
we are a world of writers.
