sakit lagi

well, i posted yesterday that i wasn't feeling so well. last night was really rough. i don't know if it was from the cold (it gets down to about 60 at night here, which is VERY cold for me) or what, but my muscles got REALLY achy. i move around a lot when i sleep, but because my body was aching, every time i moved, it woke me up again. AND every time i coughed or sneezed. AND all 3 times i had to use the toilet (because i had drank SO MUCH water and tea yesterday to help my fiery throat). i had gone to sleep in a sweatshirt, partly because of the cold and partly as mosquito repellent (there's not screens), but at about 1, i woke up blazing hot. so off the sweatshirt came. and on came the mosquitos. uggghhhhh. i started checking the time everytime i woke up. i was up every 10 - 20 minutes. all night long. this was the second longest night of my life, the first, of course, being the night in madura in the hotel swarming with mosquitoes, rats, and bloody bedsheets.

i didn't go up to the farm with the guys this morning. i wasn't in any shape to. when i finally dragged myself out of bed at 11, i could acutely feel every muscle in my body, i'm pretty sure. and it hurt. even muscles in my chin hurt! i kinda walk like an old woman... it hurts to lay down, it hurts to sit in a chair, it hurts to stand up. i made myself a peanut butter and jelly so i could take some medicine, and i feel that kicking in some now (45 minutes later), so let's just pray that does the trick for now and that i'm back in action soon!
