Do the Humpty...

Mollie Gamo sat on a wall,
Mollie Gamo had a great fall;
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Couldn't put Mollie together again.

My life is in shambles. I'm falling apart before everybody's eyes. I'm sick, I've got a terrible cough (I feel like I'm going to cough up my spleen one of these times), my nose is running, I've got a red eye, my hand is burnt, my burn is flaking away like a snake sheds its skin, I still have mosquito bite scars up the wazoo, my cough drops are giving me a stomach ache, and I have horrible cramps because it's that time of month. Ugh. My life is in ruins. You might as well just toss me aside with all the Humpty Dumptys because it feels like I'm light years away from being put together again.

I hate being sick. It's one of the most awful states of being that one can be in. And it's never until you're sick that you realize how wonderful it is to breathe freely...and how great it is to sleep on your side and not worry that your bottom nostril will get congested...and how much nicer it is to have the energy to do the simple things like take the stairs instead of the elevator. I'm always so self-conscious when I'm sick because I know that with every cough, someone is repulsed by the spray of germs I am unleashing. You're a walking disease when you're sick. Nobody wants to touch you, or even be near you. What's even worse is if not only do you feel sick, but you look sick too. Because then you don't even have to cough or sniffle in order to get someone to look at you and make that "eek" face. They just look at you and are horrified. Yes, thank you very much. I know that I have snot shooting out of my nose. And yes, I know my eye is bright red. Thanks for pointing it out and making me feel even worse than I already do. I hate being sick. I'd rather clean a fish bowl...and that's saying a lot, coming from me. Bleh.
