my mom pointed out something to me today that slipped my mind about the flu shot.  they have on the form (and I noticed this but it didn’t click) that you aren’t supposed to get the shot if u are sick or have a cold.  I’m assuming here because prolly the flu shot cause ur immune system to go into overdrive making antibodies?  maybe?).

So when I got the shot on Thursday at 130pm, I bet I was already sick.  I have been worn down this week but I thought it was ‘regular’ worn down, not sick worn down.  It wasn’t until Friday morning that I started feeling bad.

ugh.  I’m dying here.  miserable~!

I cannot put into words how bad I feel.   I have an array of problems today.  Headache, congestion, coughing… my chest hurts…  I’m asthmatic which usually isn’t a problem - unless I’m sick.  So I’m wheezing and short of breath.  I feel like I have to actually make an -effort- to push air in and out and -breathe-.

Sleeping is not helping either.  I can’t even sleep comfortably.  I’m taking an antibotic, tylenol sinus and cold and nyquil.  All at the same time.  Doctor recommended?  Prolly not.  Relief?  No.  I woke up from my nap, gagging.

To top it off, the dogs aren’t helping.  They are being needy and it’s on my last nerve.

What sort of makes this comical is that I got the flu shot on Thursday… which is supposed to contain dead virus and not able to make you sick.  My brother got sick from the flu shot a couple of years ago and swears that it can make you sick.  He warned me not to do it.  So I got the shot on Thursday (which BTW did I mention BRUISED my arm, thanks Nurse Careful) and was sick on Friday.

Just a con-winky-dink, right?

UGH, I AM SICK!

BABY ME!  validate me!

I HATE having a runny nose.  I hate sneezing!

I went and free lunged Cook in the ring.  She didn’t have one kick out.  She went around just perfect.  I also free jumped her twice.  That was fun and she was very cute.  I wanted to lunge Miss but I am tired (going to bed early) so I just called it a day.  I will see Miss tomorrow.

let’s see. how and what to recap.

had a crappy morning. had a ‘meltdown’ as it was referred to.

(actually it wasn’t a meltdown, its’ just there is only so much crap I can take.)

Went out with L-boogie and Tim.

Went to the Grand Prix. Here is where it gets interesting. I didn’t see a single rider go. I cut up with Ashley the whole time. It was over before I even knew it. In fact, I had to be told it was over. I was like ‘really’?

lauren might be mad at me this morning.

(update:  I talked to Lauren this morning (sunday).  shes’ not mad.  yay)

I don’t really get why everyone is so into it.  Can someone explain?  I have a page and its’ cool and all but I just can’t get obsessed with it.

maybe it’s cause I have this blog and site.

Barbaro is doing better.  I like this blurp about him…

Journalist Linda Robertson writes, He is fighting for his life. So why has Barbaro’s heart captivated so many? He is, after all, a horse.

He is a hero unencumbered by human flaws. At a time when so many of the people we look up to let us down, Barbaro doesn’t lie, cheat or manipulate. In a world boiling with hate and revenge, he’s not cruel, greedy or power-mad. After he won the Kentucky Derby, he was happy to receive pats on the neck and extra oats. His innocence prevents disillusionment. He gives and gets unconditional love.
