cabin fever..

 this has been my view for the last 48 hours, give or take.

whatever sickness i had last week/2 weeks ago

...i can't remember when that happened...

completely shot my immune system and i am now the lucky recipient of the 

cold from hell.

it is pure torture.

endless exhaustion, migraines, nose blowing + coughing

sounds super fun, huh.

so basically all i can do is sleep.

my diet has consisted of nothing but water, ibuprofen, and decongestants

but today we had a break through!

i had coffee and an egg.

woot woot. 

...................................................................................................................

 totally have cabin fever.

since being incubated in my room, i could be doing productive things like cleaning, journaling, writing letters and/or postcards, reading, organizing my life...

however i have discovered things about my hair. 

like the random lock of pure wavy craziness hangin' out in the back.

or the little platinum bang streak i've got workin' in the front.

on a positive note: those of you who knew me way back when in 2007, may notice my natural color is in fact, on its way back.

thank the freakin lord.

on the brightside:

on monday i took part in an english reading competion at daniela's school.

i was on the panel of judges with 4 other people.

it was a lot of fun to help come up with the stories and listen to the kids read.

they were all in grade 8, which is crazy because i couldn't read a short story in spanish until junior year.

[way to go american education...]

here i am with the other judges, Caro, Kiehlor, Hendrik, & Alex

+

all of the contestants.

happy thursday!
