I'm sick

And I hate it. I've got high fever, nausea, cold, cough, stomach ache, acidity, insomnia and just about everything else you can think of. Simultaneously. And regular vomiting too. Although I have to admit that I feel much better after throwing up.

The worst part is that I can't eat. I don't feel like eating anything but I have to because of the medication. I regret it as soon as it goes down my food pipe because no matter what I eat it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. And the stuff my stomach can handle, or I want it to handle anyway, is forbidden (sweets and stuff).

My Mom is the best part about this phase. She takes care of me and never refuses any of my requests. My Dad on the other hand walks around the house with a thermometer in hand and insists on checking my temperature every five minutes (and he also insists on stuffing the thermometer in my mouth himself, he thinks I can't do it on my own). My brother is mildly helpful in the sense that he is not his usual obnoxious self.

This is the longest I've sat in front of my computer for about four days now. And now I think I'll go and throw up again.

Oh and Happy Diwali to all of you. Don't burst crackers, there's no point in it, just noise and smoke.
