Go figure the week that I have to return to school from Spring Break is the week that I end up sick. I have a bad cough and chest congestion, as well as a fever. Alfred bought me medicine last night, though, so I can get some sleep. Right now, the Cold & Flu medicine is about to put me to sleep… hence the Robitussin Stupor.
He took care of me last night, which sort of made me feel bad since he had to work today and got little sleep. Not even just that, though. He’s also sick with some stomach thingy that he’s had for a few days. I don’t think that anything I say could get him to the doctor, though, but I’ll try every tactic in the book if it hasn’t cleared up by next Friday. That would mean he has had it for a week, and you know something is wrong when a sickness hasn’t cleared up in a week.
My face is hot. Last night, Alfred kept my face cool with a wet washcloth, but I don’t have that right now. I kinda makes me feel sad and lonely to be here without him. Oh well. It’s nice to have someone to hold when you sleep. But, I have the giant Thumper plush toy that he gave me, plus the big red bear I got for Valentine’s Day. Still, it’s not the same.
My mother and I found a place. Four bedrooms. I’m going to have a busy month between packing, moving, and school.
At least it’s going to get me the opportunity to clean out some space and throw things away… and also I am putting my two bookshelves in the guest bedroom. Well, one bookshelf plus the one that I have to buy because I have no more room and books are stacked up everywhere. My mother’s DVD collection will also be put somewhere else. I haven’t decided the fate of my anime/manga/plushie collection, though. I think I’ll end up keeping those in my room. I can’t live without them. We go get the keys on Friday. I’m on the lease, so I have to bring some ID. I figure it’s about time to get some renter’s history in my name. I’m not worried about getting bad credit in this case because my grandparents will be paying the bulk of the money for the rent. And anyway, I can always front my mother the money at the beginning of the month until the check from my grandparents gets here.
I’ll post pictures of the inside when everything is done. It’s largely going to be a slow move over the next two weeks or so because my mother and I don’t have the time for a day long pack and move session. Plus… we have to figure out how to move some of the large furniture. Neither one of us are very strong… okay, she is. But, I’m not. I can’t be much help to her.
Ultimately, my mother is really happy and that makes me happy. She’s all excited now because she thinks this place is perfect because it’s four bedrooms, which means a room for my grandmother when she comes to visit and a room to store all of her extra crap so that our rooms aren’t cluttered up. Plus, she has my sister’s baby in mind. My mother has wanted to be a grandmother for a LONG time, but was getting a bit disheartened because my sister and I are getting older with no sign of marriage of childbirth.
Until my sister told us that she was pregnant, which I think is awesome. I think next week I’ll go out and buy the baby a little outfit or something to add to my sister’s growing collection. I want to throw some presents in there somewhere to show my support since my mother said my sister was worried about my reaction. At first, I was sad. I thought, “Well, shit, I’m going to lose my sister. She’s going to grow up and be a mother and won’t have any time for me.” But, then after a while I decided that it was for the better. People need to live their lives and go their own course. And hey, nothing wrong with a cute little addition to the family. Probably is going to be the only baby I can stand and want to touch.
Because, honestly, why do I want kids when I am going to have 100+ every day as a teacher? I want to go home and get away from them.
Bed now. Dizzy and numb.
