we are ok for the first time in forever, and claire says we actually got time. like we don’t got anything we have to do right now coz it’s friday. so we had a piece of pizza and we just got to wait for greek. this morning was really hard because we had to walk to school! almost all the way! there was snow and ice and the bus was kind of wiggling a little and then he just stopped and said “you can get out and walk or wait for another bus, but i don’t feel it’s safe to continue.” it wasn’t even half way to school. we had to walk like maybe a mile and a half or two miles. it was hard. we were so tired. but we had a test in spanish so we couldn’t give up. we should have been a half hour early to class based on when we left the house and instead we were only 5 minutes early. and our legs are tired!!!
wednesday we got pocky. this store at the school has lots. anyway i really hope that we can have some time this weekend because we are all so tired!!!! but indigo helped us LOTS with memorizing greek words and stuff and it was SO nice. and she doesn’t even MIND helping us. so hopefully we can do that more. and there are only two weeks of school left!! then finals. so we just got to get through ten more days of class. it’s pretty cool.

well, today i really am finally myself again. the normal grind, my head relatively clear, only my nose left dripping. i guess i can stomach this. there’s been a swooping depression that came out of being sick and lonely and overwhelmed, and i won’t say that i can clear it away in one stroke. i want to be positive. i’m almost there, i guess.

this bronchitis is taking its own sweet time in going away (yes, the doctor diagnosed us with bronchitis – not nearly as bad as indigo’s, though). we skipped school today – the first time all quarter, except one test in greek on monday that we made up. we have a note from our therapist, so we may try and give it to our japanese teacher so we can take the quiz late. i don’t know. we’re in limbo at the moment. it’s hard to think of getting to our work, let alone catching up what we missed doing.
yesterday it all got to be too much, and we sort of broke down. couldn’t listen in any of our classes, couldn’t do any work. a huge part of that was the dread over the japanese presentation. but – both presentations are over now!
it just remains to pick up the pieces and try to catch back up as best we can. nothing but tests and ordinary homework for a while – which is good. but it is hard, because we are really behind on it. time was, we could spend the weekend getting ahead. this weekend we just have to catch up. and there’s a lot of vocabulary to hammer into our noodle. a very lot.

it seems like everyone in the world is sick! it makes us feel bad for them. and bad for us too, because this is the cold that will not die. i know we’ve had it for only a week, but it feels like a lot longer. aeron decided we needed to go to the doctor because we are having trouble breathing and have pain around about our breastbone area (yes that is a technical term! heh…), and have a lingering rumbly cough. we are not in a place where we can really decide that we need to go to the doctor, but we talked to indigo and she agreed, and oh darling that she is, called and made an appointment for us. she is going to be able to come with us, too. we are very thankful to have such wonderful friends. i don’t know if we would have been able to do it without indigo’s help.
it would be nice to breathe again.
we got aeron sick which is bringing up a million triggers that all the sick in the world couldn’t stir if it were lodged only in us. it’s so hard. we just feel like we can’t stand it and we are going to die.
