Hey guys, it was a really bad day for me. I'm not cough/flu sick but I have been taking an antibiotic for 3 days now for some skin problems and the shitty antibiotic gave me an adverse reaction today. I woke up with my mouth feeling sour and my body aching and even though I took panadol nothing changed, instead it got worse and I couldn't concentrate on the computer and stuff and had to lie down and just stare at places. I hate feeling sick and I usually get all cranky when I'm sick too, lol so my Dad took me to the Doctor this evening and now I've got more crappy medicines to deal with, ugh! But one goo thing came out of all this and it was that my Dad was being extremely nice to me :)
And another thing, this is the city I live in, do bear with me, guys
