The Gland

Good afternoon blogfiends! I hope that you are all feeling quite well because unfortunately, I am feeling a little under the whether. After weeks of feeling awful and run down, I finally ventured off to the doctor. A 20 minute wait, a short consultation, some cold hands, and a needle in the arm later, I found out that I had been given a massive serving of Glandular Fever with a side order of Tonsilitis; Mysterious Followe of the D.I.D a Mess blog likes to call it "The Gland" because it makes him sound like a super villain. Anyway, the point is: even though I am well over the Tosilitis, The Gland still continues to wreak havoc on my life.

I am not supposed to drink alcohol, take part in any strenuous activity, stay up too late, wake up too early, do any exercise, work too much, get too stressed out, go out too much, or have a life of any kind. I never feel sick... but I always feel tired which is a pain in the butt, and I guess the wholre tired thing is why I am not supposed to be moving from this chair.... ever. So in light of my new situation of needing to 'take it easy' (I am getting sick of that phrase), I have started to create a 'glandular timetable' for myself. This timetable is a complete screw up of my life; it has better eating (content, times, portions, and less snacking because I can't exercise that shit off), early bed times, lots of reading and TV series on DVD that I have to watch because it is not stressful, and I also took the opportunity to put some time for driving in there as I have done a pathetic FIVE HOURS of driving on my L's and I really do not want my little sister to catch up to me two weeks after getting her Learner's permit.

The question is: is all of this habit changing worth it to avoid the possibility of Chronic Fatigue? Those who have had Chronic Fatigue would probably say yes, but even when I WAS doing exercise it was nothing even close to real exercise; walking the 30 minute round trip to Safeway and back to buy chocolate doesn't really count so I question the likelyhood of me ending up with Chronic Fatigue. The alcohol thing is also a bother because I am a uni student afterall; how am I supposed to resist the endless temptation of the sweet, sweet booze? There is an endless supply of alcohol at many of the BBQs on the Menzies Lawn and the Boob Lawn where you can buy tickets to events with free alcohol and then go to the bar where your friends are with discounted alcohol if you have your MSA card. I admit that I RARELY drink at uni but now that I can't I want to so bad; plus I just bought my Science Ball ticket and that $85 is definitely not going to be wasted on an alcohol free night.

So basically this post is pretty useless because it is just me complaining. I apologise. If I wasn't so desperate to post something this would not have even made it onto the page but I haven't posted on any of my blogs in AGES so I thought I should. Forgive this post. Thanks for reading.
