I hate bad ice skaters

Hello peeps! This is not going to be a full length entry BUT I just had a sudden urge to share some thoughts. So here's the deal people. I'm sitting here on my ass of course because I have mono and I have NO ENERGY--ANYWAY--I'm sitting here watching ice skating. There are just some skaters that I really do not like. I thought ice skating was supposed to be fast graceful fluid beautiful and athletic. Some of these skaters look SLOW and do not have good posture. Its crazy. Lame. Thats all. : )

Horrible Sickness

Hello everyone.

Today I write to from the most boring and painful place. I have tonsillitis. I guess tonsillitis is just like a really bad sore throat but let me tell you why its even worse. I can't fucking swallow. For the past 4 days every time I swallow it feels like I am trying to swallow a brick and then it scrapes the entire inside of my throat. Then- after I've tried to finish swallowing my throat makes a little click-like noise and half of the saliva comes back in to my mouth. The pain when I swallow is excruciating. Not to mention my entire throat is swollen up so I look like a freakin' monkey. I've heard that some people like to be sick because they just get a chance to laze around the house and I have to say that is definitely not how I feel. The pain is so horrible every second that I can barely even watch a TV show or surf the internet. I can't sleep either because I wake up basically every time I have to swallow. Last night it got so bad that I actually started crying in my sleep--which woke me up. Honestly I hope this shit goes away soon or at least starts to get better because I don't know how much more I can take. Meanwhile- I can't possibly go to work because I can barely open my mouth let alone speak. My jaw is so swollen and as one of students put it last week--I look hit. I know that I shouldn't take a lot of time off work and I already took at sick day in January but there literally is no one I could do my job right now. I can't even project my voice so that someone right next to me can hear it. Hmmmm. Anyway- on a lighter note I taught an all time high number of lessons last week and all my students signed up for performances in March. Things at the studio results wise are going well but I just feel like with everything that I put in I have nothing left for myself. Obviously my body has had enough because now I'm ultra sick and I think my mind has had enough as well. Its time to start spending time and effort on things that I want and not just what the studio wants or what my students. As my friend put it- I need more balance in my life. I would love to not be plagued by TONSILLITIS so that I could start doing those things for myself. A lot of the things I want to do have to do with dancing and exercising so after a 12 hour day of dancing and teaching you could see why it would be hard to have anything left for myself. Anyways---I think thats where I'll stop with this entry. Hope you are all doing better than I!!! Happy February!
