You know those icky, “No-Good-Very-Bad” days? Well that sums up the last 16 days for me. The doctor explained how both my strep and flu tests came back negative - then went to expound upon the possibility of a virus. Of course, that would mean no prescription. I was told to get plenty of rest and to drink fluids to stay hydrated. My dorm room feels like a cage and I haven’t gotten the best sleep, regardless of the 12 hours I spent unconscious each night. DayQuil makes me feel like a Walking Dead extra and my experience of NyQuil is like reliving that scene where Mary Poppins feeds the children cod liver oil. Possibly the most troubling symptom is that I’ve completely lost my appetite - and this boy likes to eat. I usually can’t go more than two hours and change without a snack. But recently, I went 18 hours without eating and my stomach seemed to be fine. I just want to crave my usual Cookout order again.
