ugh…i’m sick

There’s another reason why I’m so anti-social: if I don’t go anywhere near people, then I can’t get sick. Unfortunately, my husband likes people.  So we hung out with a sickie…and no big surprise, now we’re both sick. Fun.

1. like a prisoner being given his last mealThat's what I've felt like these past couple of weeks. Everyone keeps telling me to enjoy everything while I still can as if I'm some prisoner enjoying my last meal before my execution. Sad how that statement is pretty much true. It is so unbelievably hard for me to accept that I'm going to have to give up everything that I enjoy indefinitely. Simple things like lounging around the house with my dog, playing Rock Band, cooking, blogging, sewing, tennis...all the things that make me me. All those things will no longer have any place in my life as I enter the abyss that is the third year of med school. Having these things then having to give them up again makes me almost wish I'd never done a PhD so that I would never have tasted such freedom because it is now so hard to let it all go. Well, I think you get my point. Enough whining. I've been MIA for quite awhile now because I've been enjoying my last meal to the fullest extent possible and was on a last-minute vacation.

I don't do much on vacations besides eat and shop and this one was no exception. And for some reason, I was obsessed with finding a perfectly functional handbag because I...
2. insomniaI can't sleep. As I lay here typing this post on my iPhone, my husband and both of my dogs are snoring happily away. I've always been somewhat of an insomniac, but it had been getting better...one hour to fall asleep instead of two or three. But now here I am two hours out and no amount of reading is making me sleepy. And, of course, the more I think about falling asleep, the harder it is. Perhaps I fool myself. I've been staying up until 2-3 am every night for the past six months. Maybe that's why it has been easier for me to fall asleep...because it's damn late when I finally hit the sack. Tonight we went to bed at 11. I guess all I have to do is wait for it to be 2 to fall asleep. It's just that it's no fun when everyone else is sleeping....
