I would like to take a moment to have a whinge about thing that have been happening to me of late.

To start with, I have been really sick lately and had the sore throat from HELL. The kind where it was ridiculously painful to swallow anything and eating was like torture. After well over a week I finally recovered...

...Only to find the lymph glands in my neck had become incredibly swollen, sore and tender. Once again, I could not swallow anything eithout epic pain.

So when I recovered from that I started getting these chronic headaches that would go on for days and nights and no amount of painkillers or drinking lots of water would do anything about. Still suffering from this from time to time.

Then I began to notice that the bruise on my leg was not really a bruise at all. It was getting really painful and started swelling up into this large, hard, red lump. Figured I'd leave it and hope it would go away.

Throughout this entire time and even earlier I've been having relationship problems with my longterm boyfriend. It's a case of losing the passion, but it's been really, really depressing. On Saturday night we finally called it quits. 2 DAYS before what would have been the 2 1/2 year anniversay. Extremely depressing and feeling like love is over.

Finally I went to see the doctor on Sunday because the lump of my leg was getting really big and red and the pain was intense - all through the lower half of my leg. Turns out it was a bite of some kind, probably from a whitetail spider. I'm currently on antibiotics for it + painkillers but it still hurts like a BITCH. I can hardly even walk around.

So that's my month of September (plus some of August). Feeling like utter shit right now and I wishing I could just go home where I've got my family around me and my mum will look after me. Life sucks.
