Why I should not let friends plead with me until I agree to something

[whogeek]

So, Friday I was sick, and I ended up missing two of my classes.  Saturday, however I was going to be riding 3 hours West into Tennessee.  Yay, fun stuff!  So the drive was pretty uneventful, aside from being pretty bored and not really being able to breathe properly.  Today I fenced.  And I had to borrow a pair of knickers(yes, that is what they are called) from the hosting school.  I also had to use one of my teammate's stuff when I subbbed in.  I ended up subbing in for her to go up against one of the best teams at the event. !!!  Was very NOT FUN!  So, aside from only having fenced four short bouts, I'm exhausted.  I didn't get a good, full nights sleep, yesterday was long, and today was stressful.

I did take the time to call my dad and wish him a happy birthday.

I have the same problem with meds: I can't take anything with a nasal decongestant because it's bad for my heart. So I either have to try an antihistamine and suffer (because it's not targeting what I need it to) or go to the pharmacist and get something specifically non-heart-fuckuppy.

I just avoid sudafed. Last(read: first) time I took it I was really little, and my parent's kind of panicked because my heart went crazy. So yeah, I use afrin if I've got sinus problems, and the antihistamine if it's not enough.

I really wish I could remember to stop blowing my right nostril for at least 24 hours. I'm tired of folding Kleenex and stuffing it up my nose to stop the bleeding. -_- Sinuses suck.

So, I take it the fencing thing didn't really go as well as it normally does when you're not sick?

Yeah, being not-sick would have made it much easier, but it was kinda fun.
