Man I hate being sick. We're going on week 1.5 now, and I have no voice. I have honestly never really lost my voice for more than 1 day/night. It kind of scares me; since it's been gone so long, I'm not sure if it's ever coming back. What if I blew out my vocal cords? That would mean major surgery. All I know is that it takes an incredible amount of air for me to try and talk, and then I run out of breath.

On top of being sick, I am unable to work out, even upon receiving my brand spankin' new knee brace. I did try to work out monday and i think i made myself even more sick, and missed work today. Upon the sweating that my workout does bring on, one of the pads on my knee brace became unsticky. That irritates me. I paid a good deal of money. And it's worth more because the insurance covered 80%. We'll see what to do about that.

You know what else irritates me? Roommates that have a boyfriend who stay at your apartment ALL the time and don't pay for anything. (except 1/3 of cable, and only because I am holding him to his promise-he threw the money order on the table) I don't know if it's because I'm sick or what, but it's really making me angry. He doesn't have his own apartment and he's not officially on our lease, so there's not a whole lot that i can do or say in his regards. On top of that, he doesn't help clean and makes my roommate do everything for him. Grrr. I think it's sealed the deal that I'm NOT going to get a house with them. When I move again, I'm not moving again for a long time, and I don't want to feel like this every other week or month or whatever. At least I learned that I have to live by myself now. Or at least until "he" comes along.

Well I better go to bed. I really have to go to work tomorrow. I'm not used to making myself stay home, sick or not. I just feel guilty, even though I know it's for my own health and everyone at work's. So, das ist das. Guten nacht!
