You Know You Wish You Were Me
Thats right kids, what I am about to tell you is going to cripple you with envy! So take a moment to ready yourselves. Maybe a few deep soothing breaths, I'll wait.ok, ready?
My body is in rebellion. It is at war with me. Bad ass right?
See I have this really rockin' cold that started off as a head cold. Its like a day that really sucks, then one or two that aren't bad, then one that really sucks. So I got this great headache in german class the other day and it was totally making me motion sick while reading. So cool. But now it has seemed to moved. So I woke up today feeling like someone was pushing really hard on my chest, actually at the moment I feel fine, with the minor exception that it has totally crippled my vocal abilities. If I talk, it comes out as more of a death rattle. It has also made me incredibly dehydrated. Sweeeeeet.
Now to add to all the fun that illness brings, yoga. Or spacifically the after affects yoga has on someone really out of shape. So my shoulders and one thigh are sore. very. But during the class, was like the only time yesterday I could breathe, so thats good right?
Now, because there were a few areas of me that didn't ache when forced to move, my body decided to fix that. HOORAY!! MENSTRAL CRAMPS!!! HAZZA!! I am seriously like the luckiest girl alive.
But I want to be positive about this. I don't want to whine and complain, that is truely not what I mean to do by posting this. No, I want to learn from the experience. To advance my knowledge in previously uncharted territory for me, at home chemistry. Like, is it ok to take Midol with NyQuil? Can I mix Robatussin with Motrin IB? Can I do a combo of pain reliever, muscle relaxer and cough medicine? What kind of effect will this have on my work performance? As I do indeed have to work tomorrow. Will I see any cool colors? or just sit there limp and dumb? Time will tell.
Well, I am off to the medicine cabinet!
update: My voice. Completely gone. Nothing left.

illegal drugs! Illegal drugs! We'll call shooting me plan C. True as of yet there is no plan be but I'll think of something.
Hey Lauren,
I thought the migraine/hacking cough/insomnia/period lasting two extra days/unidendifies intestinal cramps was bad. But I honestly think that you win.
I hope you feel better now.
A side note, you aren't supposed to do yoga while you are menstruating, right? I also think that maybe you aren't supposed to do Kegel exercises while menstruating and that that may be the cause of the intestinal cramps.
(My friend got a picture Kama Sutra in the mail this week and we were looking at it at work and it talked about Kegel exercises and I never knew how to do them right, so I was trying them out and then I had intestinal cramps...though I'm not sure how that could have effected my intestines.)
