Ugh!
One of the things I have been blessed with is that I never get sick…like “normal” sick. But alas, here I am, feeling like I was beaten with a sand bag. I have a sore throat, headache, my ears hurt…UGH! Being sick with NCS on top of it, not a real picnic. Today I woke up and just wanted to lay in bed all day, watch a movie, have my breakfast/lunch/dinner served to me, and try and feel better. But alas, I had to work. And it seemed like everyone I worked with was sick and everyone who came into the library was sick. I don’t like that…I don’t like being sick.
I want to address something though to the people out there who have dysautonomia, and its about stress. Good lord, that makes you feel absolutely horrible! I was going through some tough times recently, bad break up, moving out of my apartment in Ypsilanti, being a broke college kid…everything on top of one another! I had a few days where I was so overwhelmed that I was ready to pass out at the snap of a finger because I felt so nauseous and I could barely eat a thing. Its tough and it took a lot of talking with friends and family to help me sort everything out in my head. You really need to stay positive and focus on making your life as meaningful and exciting as possible. Making yourself sick over things is not the way to go…so stay positive, and be happy!! Smile!!
Speaking of taking care of yourself, I should get to bed. I have a lunch date tomorrow. Now there is a blog for ya! Dating someone with this heart problem is SOOO much fun I am sure. *Please note the sarcasm* Anyways, when you meet someone who is understanding and caring, snatch them up!!
Take care everyone!!

That’s part of why I blog. Even though I have an extremely caring wife, who did, in fact, bring me breakfast in bed when I felt so poorly last Saturday, the online friends and acquaintances are also important. My closest online friend was someone I met online in 1997 and didn’t physically meet until he and I both turned up in Seattle in 2004.
In this community, you’re now part of an online family. Keep us posted by keeping up the posting!
