Alright guys, seriously? Your favorite Lil Red is STILL SICK! This is the epitome of not okay! I have no idea what I have, because it’s not quite the flu, or a cold, or anything else that I can think of. I have the most severe case of body aches, dizziness, and nausea that I’ve ever experienced. I’ve literally done NOTHING these past few days but when I manage to pull myself out of bed this tidal wave of tiredness hits me. It also doesn’t help that good ol’ Aunt Flo paid me a visit the other day. I’m a hot ass wreck. I’m not gonna lie, I haven’t been feeling too hot as far as my mental health goes lately as well, so I wouldn’t be surprised if my physical sickness is a reflection of that. I can’t put my finger on it, but I’ve just been really sad lately. I’d be a liar if I told you I haven’t cut within this past week, and like usual, that just made matters worse after about an hour or so of the euphoria. I’m really hoping that today I can kick this stupid sickness for good and that I’ll wake up tomorrow bright eyed and bushy tailed. I need this to happen actually because this bitch is trying to get back into the Akron theatre scene that I love so very much, so I’ll be attending a show put on by one of the companies that I used to work for. I’m very excited to see all of my old friends and I’m really looking forward to seeing the piece that’s being put on for the University of Akron’s Rethinking Race Week. It should be a jolly good time. I have my dreaded math class tomorrow morning, but I think I’m just going to sit this one out and sleep in – I just wanna feel better, damnit!!! I’m going on day five of being a hot mess and I am slowly losing my mind. #overdramatic

^^ This basically sums up my life.

Wanna know the icing on the cake of my misery? I broke my very first nail yesterday and it was a TRAVESTY. I got home from school and for the first time in days I was actually feeling hungry (I haven’t had much of an appetite lately), so I jumped on these hunger pangs and started making food pronto. In my rush to get something yummy cooking, my pinkie finger got caught in the handle of one of my cabinets and cracked clean in half. I pulled my hand away and to my horror saw blood oozing from the crack in my pinkie. When this happened all I could think was “fucking seriously?” So I ditched the food I was making because my stomach had officially dropped out of my butt at this point and drove straight to the nail salon. My beloved Vinny wasn’t working that day, but luckily STEVE patched my nail up beautifully. It was too funny, when I rushed into the salon and told the workers whom I love so very much that I broke a nail, they all rushed around me to comfort me, a broken nail hurts, damnit! Steve took a look at my war wound and said “Sarah…it looks like we’re gonna have to cut your finger off.” I was in laughing hysterics! That was the last thing I was expecting to hear but it was somehow just what I needed – I love morbid jokes! To my relief, my nail was salvaged and I was able to go on my merry way. My trip to the salon ended up making my day infinitely better, so maybe my broken nail was a blessing in disguise. Ha, you never know! #pronails
