Day 13

So, I completely forgot to write yesterday and the day before...what I really should do is write more today to make up for it, but I feel pretty awful, so I probably won't. Whatever illness Matt has been dealing with this past week has finally caught up to me...so I've got a fever, sore throat, upset stomach, headache, and muscle pains. I was fine last night and woke up today feeling like a train hit me. Even more annoying is that I dyed my hair last night using a new color of Manic Panic, and it has stained like everything I own. My hands, my ears, my forehead, two or three towels, a pillowcase, the sink, the bathroom floor, the tub, even the supposedly STAINLESS steel kitchen sink. I realized my gloves has holes in them at the END of the hair dying process, so now my thumbs are bright purple...after several sessions of scrubbing with multiple kinds of soaps, exfoliating, and using rubbing alcohol, they are fading but still look ridiculous. I rinsed my hair for probably at least a half hour last night after dying it, and at least that long again today, so I'[m hoping that will keep the color from fading and spreading any more than it already has. On top of being sick and half purple, I got an e-mail today from the apartment complex saying that we owe an additional $150 in legal fees on top of our unpaid rent, since apparently they start the eviction process less than 2 weeks after your rent is late for the first time. And apparently when Matt called them about it they told him that they aren't authorized to remove those fees, so now he is dealing with tracking down someone who can do that. At this point we owe our normal rent, plus $120 in late fees, plus $150 in legal fees, which in total is over 1000$...and I STILL haven't had my loans disburse yet, although Matt got his a few days ago. Ugh. So much bullshit right at the beginning of the semester is not putting me in a good mood. I haven't left the bed today until now (it is almost 6 pm), because I feel so crappy...and I still have a good chunk of schoolwork to do for my Thursday class. I'm hoping that I'll be able to make it to classes okay, but if this upset stomach leads to vomiting or diarrhea, I'm staying home - I don't need to be a flu spreader the first week in to classes. I hope it is just a cold and not the flu, but I really am worried that this is going to be at least three or four days of feeling like garbage. Yay.
