These past couple days I haven't been feeling well.  It was one of those stomachache/headache extravaganzas and I basically didn't feel like doing much of anything besides sleeping.  Thank God for the half-day today.  I was beat by third period.

Although my ailments could have totally put a damper on my day, some small things did spark a smile upon my face.  It was refreshing.

1. Elliott
I was sitting on the bus all shivery and unhappy because of the crappy weather on Monday.  The freezing rain/snow kept me up from 3:15 until I had to get up, and it was not fun standing out in it.  When Elliott got on the bus, he said cheerfully, "What a beautiful day!"  While everybody else was whining about the weather, he came on with a smile, albeit sarcastic.

2. Kyle
I was miserable again by homeroom since my stomach was really starting to hurt, but when I opened up my assignment book I smiled.  I had forgotten that last Friday Kyle had written in all of my subjects onto Monday's space, and although it really is not much of anything, it made me happy.

Then when I got to English I was really feeling sick and I was annoyed that Jillian was taking up my desk in various ways, preventing my much wanted sit-down time.  While I was sitting in Vicky's seat with my head down Kyle came over and I was like, "What happens if I don't go to NHS?  ..Because I really don't feel like going."  He was like, "What's the matter?  You don't feel well?" and I shook my head.  We went to our seats and he asked me what hurts, and I complained about my head.  English class is not the place to be with a headache.  But it was just nice that someone actually cared.

3. Mr. Lawler
Although I had been unhappy with Mr. Lawler as of late, he gave me an A+ on my LRSes, which he returned today.  On his note he wrote that I had a knack for writing humor, which made me smile.

Now I am feeling mostly better, my head is still throbbing a little, but I'm pretty good.  I had lunch without upsetting my stomach and after I do my homework I can relax.  I'm tired but I think if I get a good night's sleep I should be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed tomorrow, whatever that is supposed to mean.
