elucrehToday was a good day to start out with...weather perfect, grey and misty; Latin fun if incredibly difficult (two comPLETEly abnormal pronouns to memorise the declensions of); even Success sit-through-able.
Then I got my Nat. check and put it on my card so I could finally buy books; unfortunately, had to put the WHOLE THING on there. I only needed another fifty or so for my books and had to put 300 on, so that makes 250 that I'll have to not only spend but be able to give sensible acct of to my father. I did indulge myself a bit, got a Latin dictionary which wasn't required but is nice; a book of new quotes in Latin (total frivol, but so fun!) and couple of Pratchetts.
I went to the library and looked up mnemonic stuff. Got out when it decided to rain in earnest and the stupid umbrella turned inside out. To quote Montgomery's Anne, "It is when my umbrella turns out that I lose all faith in inanimate objects," although I would make that cheap Target inanimate objects. I've got to buy another, we've got spring, which = rainy season, coming up.
When I got back things started rolling downhill. You don't want the details, but I am suddenly being violently and painfully ill. I had to get out of the shower a couple of times, and when I got out for good I realised that I didn't have my towel in there with me. Opened the door without my glasses on to grab a blanket to wrap around me (I'm not sure how much was showing) and then came all the way in to look for the towel. I'm so blind w/out my glasses...I thought Lucy was lying on her bed talking on the phone. She was lying on the bed with Scott while I a) stood there without ANYTHING on to grab the blanket, and b) was wrapped in the towel. I didn't even realise it until Lucy said something and made him get out.
I'm still being ill...I don't know what to do. Jay will NOT be at all happy if I miss class tomorrow...I have the stupid oral rpt due, for one...but I'm not sure I can walk across campus without needing access to a loo. It had better improve before tomorrow.

i'm so sorry you're feeling so rotten. are you doing any better now? :P to Lucy for not letting you know Scott was there. i've never had the towel experience, but have DEF. had glasses experiences, and not realizing someone was there when it was a v. bad time for them to be there. yeah, no fun. curse glasses. :P
*hug* hope you feel better soon <3
