I was up all night with a godawful stomach flu. Apparently it's going around, as when I called to cancel my physical therapy appointment today they said that I was the fourth person to cancel on account of the stomach flu.
Why am I blogging about my stomach flu?? Because I want it documented that 2008 has been the biggest bitch-slap of a year ever. EVER. It started with vomit, and it's ending with vomit. And if I can survive this year, then I deserve a medal and a ginger ale.
There's not a whole lot worse than being in a foreign country all by yourself with the stomach flu. Well, maybe being on the other side of the world from your boyfriend when his parents died, or losing a good friend, or a classmate, or injuring a foot, or having to deal with heaping piles of some peoples' bullshit.
2008, you are no friend of mine. I just want to come home. I think now is the time that I need to look through photo albums and re-read old journals to remind myself of JUST HOW LUCKY I AM to be living here, having all of the amazing experiences that I am having, and learning the lessons I never, ever would have learned otherwise.
I am lucky. I am blessed. I am a total badass.
It just doesn't feel like it today.
