VBS - GAME DAY CENTRAL: 4 of 5 days completed alive. Sanity: Stable, but Groggy. Hi again. I'm still alive! 8D My friend didn't die, of course. All the kids were like, "OMG teacher, were you scared?" XD We had a minorly major incident today with a couple of the boys beating each other up. O_o We shall now keep them seperated. Or threaten to put them with the girls when they misbehave. Both work fairly well. So tonight's the big 'ol family night, where the kids bring their parents and show them all the rooms and what they've been doing and stuff like that. And we get hot dogs. Which is nice, consdiering that that rain over UK's house a couple days ago decided NOT to come over here, so yay. =D Oh and: Blood work got in today. I am now officially a hypoglycemic anemic. I get to take iron. My guy friend (the one that's not a boyfriend, cause we ain't dating) is gonna laugh at me, because he asked if I had anemia when I told him I was all tired and stuff. (He had severe anemia about a year ago - a blood count of 4 really does horrible things to a person.) My blood count isn't as low as his was, I'm sure. I don't really know what mine is, anyways, so I could be wrong. At least now I have something interesting to put on medical forms, for once in my life. XD I'll try to put up an entry tomorrow morning before I leave. I won't get a chance afterwards - I'm headed for Georgia right after VBS cleanup. ~Nikira

VBS - GAME DAY CENTRAL: 2 of 5 days completed alive. Sanity: Groggy. 'Allo. Well, VBS went pretty smoothly again this morning. We had some problems with kids quarreling around 11 or so (we have Rec acd Snackage last, and most kids tend to get cranky if they're hungry), but other than that, it went well. Tomorrow will be awesome. It's big-dramatic-drama-day-where-something-bad-happens. Dundundun!!!!! 8O And yeah, got to go to the doctor's. Yay. He figured that I have reactive hypoglycemia - a blood sugar problem where my body's insulin consumes my sugar too fast, thus causing me to feel tired and lightheaded, even shortly after eating. Basically, it's diabetes turned backwards and upside-down. I'll get one of those fancy silver bracelets, like the kind that people with severe allergies have, later this week. They still did a blood test for anemia (I TOLD YOU HA. :-D), so my left arm is all weak and numb and stuff and I can't move my fingers. I'm also typing this out with only my right hand, so please be nice and ignore grammatical errors. But hey, I got a nifty bandage. With flames on it. Yay for flames! 8D ~Nikira

I learned something important today. Always, always, always make sure to eat something if you know you will be doing back-breaking labor for four hours straight without breaks. Even if you did eat breakfast at 10:30 and your mother tells you to eat lunch at 12 when you are still working off breakfast. You know what happens if you don't? ... Well, assorted things, but if you're me, you wind up almost passing out at 2 while carrying heavy boxes down stairs, and then the residential team EMU has to sit you down in the corner of the kitchen, give you water, sugar, and Sun Chips, and command you to stay put, cause you're whiter than the bleached shirt you're wearing. oO I finally ate something with substance at 4, so yay, I'm not dead. =D So the lesson is: LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER, CAUSE SHE IS SMARTER THAN YOU THINK SHE IS. ~Nikira

Well, my sis is over her whatever-she-had before thing. It's gone. Kaput. Now, instead, she's got pnemonia. And the rest of us are seemingly catching it as well. So...yeah, I'm hacking out a lung. What stinks is that we don't get school days off when we're sick, unless we're in the hospital or some appendage got chopped off or something. Which doesn't happen often. I just hope I'm better by next week. I want to be healthy at least mind-wise for my insanely-early-in-de-mornin' SAT. >< *coughhackwheeze* Oh, and LK, that pic I drew on my Spring Break didn't turn out as I had hoped. I've sent you a PM about a possible solution. ~Nikira

My younger sis is at the doctor's office right now, getting something checked out that's on her inner arm. We don't know what it is, but she's had it for the past 3 months and it's gotten worse - it's like a growth or something... She was a little scared when she left. I feel so worthless, cause I'm at home... ~Nikira

Uh... short-absence-explaination... just a second... IthinkIlostit... *random papers go flying* Ah, yes... I've been sick and downing antiobiotics for the last couple days. Yay. ... Fine. Explaination of the explaination. I had a ton of trouble eating on Thursday. A TON. Like, I couldn't chew my food, cause it made my jaw and neck really really hurt, and I couldn't move my head to the right at all. Now, this has happened to me before, but it usually lasts a day, at the most. So, yeah, I ignored it. Monday, and it wasn't gone. Owchies. My mom took me to the doc, I told him what was wrong, and he diagnosed me almost immediatly. Apparently, I have cerivical antonitis (sp?), a bacterial inflammation of the lymph nodes below the ears. My left one was inflamed a lot, and, with my jaw the way it is, that caused a few problems. So I'm on antibiotics right now. I get to take 3 pills a day for 7 days. And, let me tell you, it has helped, cause now I can actually consume nourishmnet without wincing. So... uh... Apology cookies. Hoorah for Vakama Horidka and the Olda team. Yay again. ... *goes to eat a hamburger* ~Nikira

Still sick. I don't like being sick. It makes me weak and confused. I don't like being confused. -.- So, last night, I took Ny-Quil gel-caplets. It's nasty stuff if you don't swallow it right away, and, come to think of it, it did absolutely nothing for my congestion. But, oh, was I a happy sleeper. ^^ That stuff knocked me out about 3 minutes after it went into my mouth. Woke up this morning, and I'm still sick. And sleepy. And my sinuses are still clogged. But I am blissfully numb, and I enjoy it. ~*~ Art-Wise: Well, I finally got my lazy self back to the drawing board yesterday. Literally. Inikaness for y'all. ~Nikira
