The most regrettable thing just happened.
There was a silverfish climbing on my ceiling and I went to smoosh it with my umbrella and instead it fell from the ceiling and into the tangle of sheets on my bed.
After a solid twenty minutes of inspecting my sheets and re-making my bed, I still haven't found it.
I'm worried he's hiding in my carpet plotting his revenge while I sleep...

Oh, break is finally turning around.  Aside from the fact that I have yet to be able to sleep a full night, I'm feeling good.  I have a bit of congestion and I still can't hear out of one ear, but my throat issue is completely gone and the dizziness is gone and the best part : MY PINK EYE IS GONE.

I wore contacts today for the first time in almost two weeks.  Joy.  

Also, my Grandma came in from Michigan today which is always great.  We're watching Tangled right now with Heather.  Lucia also took Heather and I shopping today and bought us a bunch of new clothes which is aways super fun.  I got some amazing new work out clothes that I tried out at the gym today and I'm in love!  Hopefully it'll make me feel more inclined to go (not likely).

Tomorrow is my cousin Susannah's daughter's (Victoria) baptism so we are getting up bright and early (6:30) to venture out to NYC for that.   I'm excited because it's fun to go out and do stuff, but kind of nervous because with any family adventure, there's always more than enough room for mishaps and drama.

But either way, there will be stories to tell.

Also, it's weird that it's summer break.  I think that I think of school and home as two different worlds.  It's like life when I'm home and life at school are completely unrelated, different worlds.  Also I don't think I'm really comprehending the fact that I'm working this summer.

I'm starting to think that I'm really going to hate it.

It's going to be seven hours a day outside in the heat and bugs sweating my butt off.  Why did I think that would be fun?

I'm really hoping that I'm just being pessimistic and that there's a bunch of redeeming factors that I haven't considered yet.

At least I have all these cute summer clothes.  

Focusing on the positives.

So I woke up this morning and almost fell down the stairs because I was so dizzy.  And after four hours of sitting on the couch unable to move without the world spinning, i texted my mom.  Not that she would have been able to fix me, but there's something about moms that makes you feel a little better.
So my mom comes home and I start freaking out because the room wouldn't stop spinning and I couldn't take it anymore.
So I cave and go to the doctor.
The diagnosis: Double ear infection and secondary infection of the sinuses.
Sweet.
So Im now drugged and the good (fantastic) news is that I should be feeling like a normal healthy human in like two days- a concept that I thought would never become a reality.
And then I babysat tonight and made some extra money while watching disney channel and playing board games.  It was a great night.  Also Lucia brought me like four fluffy pillows about twenty minutes ago so that my sleeping experience will be splendid (or at least possible) tonight.
Things are looking up, friends.

So I can't sleep.  It's now three am, and I've been trying to sleep since eleven.  I've read, watched movies, stared at the ceiling, just laid there in my bed and nothing had worked.  You know why?  The plague.

My ears are killing me, I most definitely have at least one ear infection.  And because I'm congested I have to breathe through my mouth which hurts my throat and tickles it at the same time so I can't stop coughing.  And thus, I cannot sleep.

So I'm watching The Switch.  And this child just kills me every time.  Oh my goodness I have literally never seen a child so precious.  His character is this incredibly odd child, full of neuroticism and weird quirks and I just love him cause he's so innocent and precious and all he wants is a dad to love him and it just kills me.

This is how I'm starting off my day.  Watching this romcom and gushing over it.  

So cute.  The photos do not do it justice.  I didn't have high hopes for this movie going into it but it's actually a good one.  Check it out.

Hopefully I'll be able to sleep sometime in the next six hours...

Midnight in Paris is such a good movie.  I highly recommend it.
Anywho, tis the end of day four in Jersey, and day eight of the plague.
Today was pretty fun though.  It was Stephanie's birthday, so we went mini golfing and got some water ice!
We also found out that we are embarrassingly bad at mini golf, which makes it all the more fun.  Then in true Steph/Sarah fashion, we blasted Taylor Swift on the way back and drove around the neighborhood until our favorite songs were done.
It was nice, and tomorrow I will be having a movie day with Steph and babysitting.
Babysitting.  The root of the plague.
But since I'm not contagious and dirt poor, I might as well do it.
As for now, I'm going to finish Midnight in Paris.

Day three of Jersey and I want out.  I want out of here, but I don't want to go to back to school.  It's this terrible feeling of wanting to go home, but I don't really feel like I have a home.  So I'm just stuck I guess.
Also my throat still freakin hurts.
So annoying.
Well since I have nothing to say but complaints, I'm gonna cut the post here.

Oh, my life.
I am back in New Jersey, after a truly painful ten hour drive home.  The good news is that since being home I have slept pretty well, which we all know was much needed.  The bad news is that my sickness persists.  I feel good, like I'm not sluggish or woozy or anything, but my throat still hurts a lot and my nose is giving me trouble and I still have pink eye.  And let me tell you, it's quite difficult to be cute and summery in my thick black glasses.  And for this I am frustrated.
I would love to be back to my normal, healthy self in two or three days so I can go to the beach and have picnics with Steph and do summer things.
Oh, and the coughing.  I just remembered how freaking annoying the coughing is as I sit here hacking up a lung.  It starts at night before bed so that I can't fall asleep.  It's great.  And by great I mean it's freaking awful.
Anywho, I'm going to go to bed as tomorrow is the 'taste of Evesham'.  It's when all the local restaurants set up vendors on main street and put out food and wine samples.  People can buy a wrist band for like ten bucks which gives them access to all the samples that are available, and my dad really loves it, mostly because he thinks he's a certified food critic.  It's probably going to be super painful, but homie really wants to go and even though he won't say it, I know he really wants me to go too.
So I'm going to get some sleep and hope that this sickness is on its way out!
I would really love to wear my contacts and hear out of both ears again.
Oh, the luxuries of life...
