I have been really sick these past days. And you'd think I'd get more reading in this way but it's quit the opposite. I get very frustrated that I can't do anything so most of my time is consumed by me thinking about how I can't do anything. And since my mom (who is here) is less of a "have tea and lie down" kind of mother but more of a "well great, now you can't get anything done" kind of mother the frustration just grows because I'm not only not getting things done, I'm also made to feel bad about it.

I also can't hear very well. And so most of my day is me calling "Did you just talk to me?" and "What did you say?".

A friend of mine sent me a book as a present which I'm excited about reading. I've once dated said friend and it's the typical "the one who got away" scenario, so whenever he does overly nice things like this it proves that he's the one who got away.
