DAY 12 of the FLU

Yes, I'm still sick, battling this recurring fever and heavy cough. I missed the concert of the year, The Police because my illness. Isnt that so sad? Truly it was. I'm glad friends went in my place to see my boyfriend, sexy, hot STING. My really good friend called me from the concert so I can listen to tunes like: Message in a Bottle, Every Breath you take...anyway ill stop now so I dont relive the heatache I felt that night. So, I'm sick of being in my house and drinking liquids and eating soup. I just wanna get out of my house and go to the beach and lie out. One thing I am excited about right this second is, I have a little energy which I will devote to making Erins oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Since I'm sick already, I might as well eat junk. So that's all that going on with the girl from the loop. Shes definately not on the road again. She wishes!
