Anti-Shell Matter

God I feel so much better today. I only had to take two lie-downs today, but as of this typing I've got energy and my vision is clear and I'm ready to rule the night again. I'll be going in to the doctor tomorrow for a check-up, just to make sure things are healing properly and to have my stitches taken out. I'm eating solid food. Dad picked up Chinese for me on his way home from work.

I hate being an invalid. I hate feeling weak and having people have to run my errands for me. I've got pride a mile wide and every other cliché description for "a pretty big amount".

I'll be back in school tomorrow. It sounds like I did not miss too much today, anyway. I'm almost having fun doing my lit analysis and calculus because I can concentrate without feeling sick. It makes me realize what people who have serious illnesses have to battle every day just to achieve what healthy people take for granted. Those people--the ones who don't allow illness to get in the way of their lives--are worthy of all the respect in the world.

I've been having odd, vivid dreams involving random people from livejournal and, in one case, my Spanish teacher and the Women's Choir.

I talked to Cousin Chris about my Halloween costume today a bit. His original idea involved an LCD screen and a video camera; it’s a nice idea but a bit involved. Sounds like tacky-ass Halloween makeup and props are the way to go. I just need to get back down to Spirit.
