I'm really not scared of doctors...I'm just too lazy

So my stomach/guts have been killing me for the last 3 days. I went to work on Tuesday, and got my duties changed so I'd just be typing on the computer instead of walking around. Then I've been home for the last 2 days b/c I've only managed to get maybe 3hrs of straight sleep (I've been passing out and waking back up before the snooze on my clock-radio runs out), and stuck in bed constantly b/c it hurt too much to move. Amazing how important the stomach muscles are to movement. I hadn't been able to eat much either. Today, it was a little better but I was still tired, and I'm making a lot of typos (most I've been able to catch. A lot of homonym or similar spelling errors, and just wierd ones). I was able to eat the same volume that I usually eat at least. I was thinking of going to work, but it's like, eh no. If I go to work, I'm going to be totally sick on Friday which is my day off, and that's when I finally get to see my family so screw it. Which was really a good decision. Today I was able to do laundry, but the prospect of doing 3 days of dishes was too daunting, so whatever could went into the dishwasher. Managed to sorta sort out my tax stuff. But my stomach is still aching really bad at times, and I'm still having the fits of sleep.

On the positive note, I finally got my package w/ my DS lite accessories. My DS is pretty tripped out w/ Pokemon stuff. Now I just need a bag to carry everything. Funny thing is that I was about to write an email to the company asking where my stuff was b/c it'd been over a month even w/ overseas pkg delivery. Then I go to grab my paper and there's a delivery notice under the door, so before I started writing, I changed (I've seriously been in my pjs for the last 2 days) and headed down to the office. Apparently the mailperson had just been dropping the pkgs off but not leaving notice w/ the tenants, so the manager got sick of having a ton of boxes in her office and printed out a delivery form to everyone. Technically I can now carry my DS lite w/ me on the bus b/c I have earphones (I can't wear the earbuds b/c they pop out of my too small ears), a protective plastic-silicone case that surrounds the DS, connector caps to keep out dust during travel and cases for my games. But I'm still one of those types who needs a bag to hold all the accessories.

I'd been playing a lot of Animal Crossing these past 2 days. Mostly b/c when I get home to play, all the stores are closing, so I can't sell my oranges/fish. Or shoot down presents and hunt bugs. Yeah, I'm onto paying off my 2nd mortgage. I'm actually so good at arranging and utilizing space that I've gotten the message that if I put any more stuff in the room the floor will give out. And I'm still able to move all around my house. Yeah, I rock. So far I've picked up some cool stuff like the Lucky Cat (I think Nan gave that to me) and telescope (found in recycling bin). Managed to dig up another ammonite, so that's in the house. Apparently I'm also most like Pelly. I've yet to connect to WiFi, so I'm not sure what awaits. Annoyingly, the Nintendo website does not like Firefox. I've had to open it in IE.

D will be back on Saturday. *sigh* While it's good to know that if something major happens in the apartment there'll be someone else to help drag all my crap out, it means no more leaving my my dirty sorted laundry in the living room. I guess I'll also have to semi tidy-up the stack of newspapers I have strewn on the bench. Yeah, and no leaving my bras out to dry on the rack. D and H aren't sure if H will renew her contract. But if she does, D will move out which means I'll need a new roommate. B/c I'm not very partial to spending 50% of my monthly income on rent alone. Although that'll put me more in line w/ what my fellow co-workers seem to do: live hand-to-mouth. Prob w/ a new roommate is that unless it's someone who you know and trust, you're constantly guarding against theft, conflict and deadbeatedness. Never had an argument w/ D, mostly b/c I was much better at keeping track of bills and food, and tended to be very logical on decisions, never pried too much, and kept to myself. Other than T (which would be awkward b/c of his gf), there's not really anyone else who I could probably easily room w/. Of course he likes living by himself (likes to roam in underwear, which I'll have to also stop doing once D comes back) so...*sigh*

Anyways, time to go to take a shower, go to bed, and hopefully get some real sleep. My dreams have lately been of Animal Crossing. ^_^ That is no indication that it might be time to lessen my playing.
