Destined to be sick all my life.....

yeah, that pretty much sums it up! I am obviously destined to be sick all my life. I simply must learn to bear always being sick for the rest of my life. (of course, that doesn't mean I gotta stop complaining, and trying to make people pity me). :) Anyways, I'm sick......again! I've got a stupid, dreaded, raging, sore throat, a bit of congestion, a stiff and sore neck, very, very, slight cough(that's at least one plus!) and am completely exhausted and out of it! But I was able to do my school work today, and yesterday, so you can all cheer for me! Thankfully, I don't have a fever, only had a very, very, very, slight one yesterday; not really a fever, actually, it was simply a tiny bit higher. Unfortunately, I have been getting chills and heat flashes. Yesterday, for most of the day, I was freezing. Towards the end of the day I was switching between feeling like I was burning up, and feeling like I was in Antarctica! Today it's been off and on. What stinks the most though, is this constant, never letting up for even half an hour, or ten minutes, switching from sharp to dull, painful sore throat! NOTHING will make it go way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've tried gargling lemon juice, gargling a vinegar/salt/warm water/ concoction, drinking tons of hot, honey/lemon tea, drinking carrot/apple juice, drinking honey and lemon juice heated up together. I even tried carrot/garlic juice, cause my mom said she read that garlic juice was a great cold/infection healer..........uh, yeah right! She was just trying to kill me, sneakily!!!!!!!!! My mouth and throat burned so bad! My eyes watered it burned so much! I gagged and almost pucked, and my stomach was instantly upset!!!!!!! Needless to say, I will not be trying that remedy again! I'd rather be sick!
At least I haven't gotten too tired, yet from this virus or whatever it is. A sick Cara, who doesn't get enough rest and is completely, totally, exhausted.........is not good! Generally, that is when she blows up on her friends, goes off on someone who did nothing at all, and burst into tears. It's hard to keep one's emotions in check when they are sick, grumpy, and tired!

sigh! I hope I'm better by tomorrow!
