Ice cream makes everything better

I feel like crap today. My throat hurts and I just feel weird. The weirdness I can probably blame on the Ultram I took at about one this morning. My right arm was in agonizing pain so I popped one and played Sonic and Super Mario Bros on the Wii until about 2:30. Then I popped in Fantasia and my stoned ass fell asleep while watching that. It’s kind of weird that I’d still be feeling off hours and hours later. Hmn.

My throat probably hurts because I smoked three half cigarettes yesterday (which, okay, amounts to like one and a half, whatever) and hung out with Mike earlier in the afternoon and then Sandy and Chris last night. Both of them are smokers, so being around all that smoke is probably why my throat hurts.

Then again, I’m probably just lying to myself because I don’t want to think — even for a second — that I might be sick again. Nononono.

I watched Cube last night with Sandy and Chris. It was really interesting. A handful of complete strangers with different personalities and backgrounds were stuck inside of a giant cube that reminded me of a Rubik’s cube. They had to figure out how to get out of there and how to avoid the trapped rooms. I think this movie was what inspired the Saw guys.

After that we tried to get the Sega Genesis working so we could play Sonic but it finally bit the dust, I think. We ended up watching Strangeland and that’s when I decided to go home because I was in so much pain. I’ve never seen Strangeland and couldn’t pay much attention to it. I went home at about 12:30. How lame. It really sucks that I can’t take my medication while I’m out. I lose out on so much because of whatever the hell it is that’s wrong with me.

Oh well. Mike gets out of work at 2 and we’re probably gonna go get sundaes. :D

Ibuprofen 800 is my best friend

If you’re a guy, you probably don’t want to read this. I can’t be held liable for any emotional trauma this might put you through. You’ve been warned.

When I get my period it’s usually light, short, and sweet. I live on pantiliners, and four days later it’s all done. I don’t get cramps.

That all changed today.

I’m dying. Seriously. My uterus feels like Freddie Kreuger has his hand twisting around in there. Even worse, I’m a basket case. I’m rereading Breaking Dawn and got to the part where Alice and Jasper take off.

I burst into tears.

“What’s wrong with you?” Lauren asked.

“Alice l-l-left!”

Several minutes later, I got to the part where Bella finds Alice’s note. “T-t-to protect the b-b-baby!”

I went to Mike’s earlier so we could take a trip to Walmart and gave Tracy a huge hug. “Do you have any Midol?” I whispered.

“No, but I’ve got Motrin 800!”

It only took forever to kick in. We went to Walmart and McDonald’s. By the time I put my first fry in my mouth, the 800 finally made its way through my system. I felt normal again.

Until we finished dinner. I took Mike’s head off over rechargeable batteries, and two minutes later I was ready to cry again for being so mean.

“Are you okay?” Poor Mike. He was totally baffled.

“Yeah. No. I don’t know.”

He stood in silence for a moment as I clung to him. “Are you pregnant?”

“No. Definitely not,” I said through gritted teeth.

“You sure?”

“Positive.”

As I write this I can feel the ibuprofen 800 wearing off (there’s no more — I’m fucked) and I’m stuffing my face with Airheads. I’m pretty sure Mike has no idea I’ve got my period.
