Day 108- Thursday, April 26th, 2012

Well the medicine so far isn't working…which leads me to believe that the doctor was wrong about just a simple stomach infection…which is not good…Is anyone good at anatomy? Does anyone know what, is on the left side of the body towards to back area? Cause I woke up with a weird pain feeling there…Hmm weird. Maybe its just like a bruise or something. It kinda feels swollen…Weird…maybe I slept crooked but IF I did sleep crooked I wouldn't have pain there, right?! I don't know. Maybe Im being paranoid. Anyways, Mayka called me like an hour ago and told me that she talked to Brother Nixon and they are going to take me to Volcan this afternoon, to get my exams done. Apparently its going to be less expensive or something. But that means missing the meeting…She said that this IS super important, so they are going to take me there today. So I guess I will know what I have before I thought. Which is good. Im a little nervous about it. I still feel a little yellow today. But I can't tell if its my eyes playing tricks on me. Or if its just a weird lighting. Or if I have always had a little tint of yellow to my skin…My skin is still peeling like crazy. But now in places where all there is, is a tan not a burn. I look weird though. Because on my arms and back my actual tan part is peeling, So I now have splotches of untanned skin on my shoulders and back. It looks weird and worrisome…I don't like it…My family is making lunch for the C.O. and D.O. today, Im jealous I am not there to enjoy it. :( Oh well, I am anxious over what the tests will say. Its not like it could tell me anything SUPER bad right? I mean…right? Does a complete blood test tell you EVERYTHING you could have? Like if you have diabetes or cancer or some crazy disease? I don't know…I should have paid more attention in Biology class when we were talking about blood…I have about 3 hours or so before I have to leave. I just showered, so I am not sure what I should be doing right now. Im too anxious to concentrate on anything to drastic! What should i do? …Oh yeah so, there are 2 windows in the kitchen. One faces the outside area behind the house, like a grassy hill and some pipes and a tree and a fence. The other window faces the  "main" street that we live off of. My house is kinda on one of the curves we have here so, when cars pass by they drive around half of the house. I live on the corner….that would have been easier to say then what I did just now. ((Side note: "Tell your boyfriend if he says he's got beef that Im a vegetarian and I aint all that scared of him" BAM!)) Anyways, whenever I am in the kitchen I like looking at who drives by and trying to guess if its a motorcycle, car, truck, bus, or work truck passing.  Im getting pretty good at it, actually. I am right almost ever single time. Anyways, why am I telling you guys this? …Hmm…memory loss…Oh yeah so I heard a bus coming up the road, headed for Sereno. So I peeked out of my little peek-corner. And its VERY rare anyone looks at the window. Well the bus stopped in front of my little window. And all of a sudden I was starring in the face of MR. Rico-Suave. His face was kinda like 'What?' and I know mine was too. He smiled and did a head nod ((MOVIE QUOTE)) 

"Wow! Wait do you know her?"

"Talk to her for like a sec."

"About what?! She gave you the nod!"

"Yeah she gives good nods"

"Ok can everyone please calm down."

"Hey. Hey. Switch with me. Switch with me."

"I can't! I said her name out loud!"

"Some guys just walk in the light, ya know." 

HAHAHA good movie… (( END MOVIE QUOTE))

Ok what was I saying??…hang on let me re-read what I wrote…Oh ok right! So Mr. Rico-Suave smiles and nods, and I didn't know what to do, so I just glared and slowly closed the curtain over the peek-corner. Kinda like Lucille from AD does when Gob asks if she wants to be his friend and hang out. Haha. Also  good show and episode! Ok anyways, I could see through the curtain that he kind of just sat there for a second and then drove away…It was kinda funny…Why did I tell that story that makes no sense!…Ugh! I don't feel so good…and its hot in here again…There was something relevant in that story I just told and now I don't remember what it was. Hmm…Chop it up to me not feeling good. Hmm…Good song. Imma listen to it now…Cant beat JT! :D …Oh wow thats awkward! Mayka just told me I should take in samples to the doctor…as in MY samples! Thats just awkward…hmm…well yes…this is awkward…Kinda puts the pressure on seeing as I have like 2 hours to get my samples together. Haha…Wait…Why am I writing this out even?! MAkes no sense! Sharing is caring I guess. BAHAHA! I should tell the doctor, I care about you thats why I brought this. Haha! ….Ooh this is a good song! But I don't know what its called…Man my side really hurts…Ok time to brush my hair…Annnnd there it is, the worrisome amount of hair that just fell out…*sigh* I miss normal fluffy Q-Tips. the ones here are super lame!…Hey did I tell you guys already that the other day I manicured our lawn?! There is a lithe bit of grass on each side of the cement patio area in front of our house. And there is grass on both side of the steps leading to the house. Well, its been bugging me ever since I moved in here, because the grass has grown over the sides of the cement and it looks super sloppy. So the other day, I went to work on it. And cut it all back to the edges of the cement. Apparently here that is something very strange to do, because although I was super proud of my work. Everyone else was like. "Umm…how nice" Its called pride of ones house, people! Now it actually looks like someone lives here! Oh well, it made me feel useFUL which is a nice new feeling. :) …I wish my hair wasn't so frizzy here. Ooh I miss using my Carin's straightener! I guess I could always straighten my hair with the clothes iron we have here. But I don't know exactly how to do it, and I don't want to burn off my hair. Cause Im trying to grow it out, so that I have the same hair as the ladies on the Garnier commercials. haha. NOT GONNA HAPPEN! …I think I should probably eat something before I leave right? Cause I don't how long we will be there, how long this lame ordeal will take. BUT we seem to be running low on eatable things. And since i no longer find joy in cooking or food (YEAH I KNOW! I never thought that would happen!!) my creativity in that category is sad at best…Im gonna go see if my rehydration stuff is done cooling. I'll be back…(Not like it makes a difference since this is not like a minute-to-minute account. I could be gone for hours and it would make no difference cause once this is posted its not like it adds in the breaks from my typings..but whatever) I'll be back…Im back and I have a cookie! :D Cookie-TIME!! Oh yeah so yesterday I decided they should change the name of Kraft's Mac and Cheese to 'KRAFT'T Mac on Cheese!' Get it?! Cause you be mackin on cheese!! :D …Well its 11:52 now…I need to be ready to leave at 1:00ish. *sigh* I don't want to go. I think the whole thought of samples scared the sample out of me. Or rather scared the sample in me. Because I got nothing. haha. This patch of rehydration stuff tastes salty. Its weird. Hmm…I think I should probably be making myself something to eat and be getting ready. Right? UGH! But I don't wanna!…Must I look presentable today? Probably right. ASH! That means I can't stay in my Elvis boxers. :( That means I have to put actual clothes and shoes on, and try do something about my mess of a face…*sigh* Too bad Im not like the commercial ladies who wake up beautiful and ready for the day. Oh well… "Im going to make a decision…I've made my decision…Decision-made!" QUICK what movie is that from?! ((Baby Mama)) Anyways, I've made the decision to do the bear/bare minimum of looking presentable. Which means…baggy clothes. (No longer hard to find, seeing as lots of my clothes are seemingly baggy) and little and I mean VERY little makeup, like mascara and thats it!  And a floppy pony-tail. Yup yup. I think thats whats going to happen. Besides, I am sick! I don't need to be looking my best, cause here's why! I don't feel my best! So music time and getting somewhat presentable time…This is the lamest excuse of trying to look presentable. But whatever, I have about an hour left before I need to go. Im burning up again! Ok I am going to start packing up the stuff I am going to take with me…Lets see list of items to take: Medication the doctor prescribed, list of exams I am supposed to have done, water, my rehydration stuff, wallet, sweater and scarf because if I am cold here, I will be freezing in Volcan, umbrella just in case, (Ahh! My eye is doing that weird twitching again. DAH!) Cell Phone, Headphones, My remaining 15 dollars (UGH!), I think that is pretty much it. I hope everyone reading this realizes how UN-happy and UN-enthusiastic I am about going to get these exams done. Why can't I just be like all better all of a sudden?! Not cool! 

----BACK FROM THE DOCTOR----

Ok so NEW DIAGNOSTIC at the moment I am to take 3 different medications instead of 6, so we are good there. This new real doctor, says he is going to treat me right now, for a stomach and intestine infection. He wants me to take the other 4 exams the fake lame doctor prescribed but also a new exam! MALARIA! Apparently the other doctor didn't think it was necessary for me to take the exam I asked about. HMM!! FAKE LAME DOCTOR! This new real doctor is however known to be a better doctor. But like everything better means more expensive. So down the toilet goes another $10USD for the consultation as well as another $36 for medication and get this, thats only buying HALF of the medication prescribed. I mean I have all 3 but not for the amount of days he prescribed but rather HALF the days I am supposed to take them. But nimodos I have not the funds. Anyways, the toilet bowl of money is getting close to $100 I believe like in total right?! Lets see with Dr. Fake-o Lame-o all in all I spent around $70.00USD. With Dr. New-o Real-o (well thats an unfortunate name) maybe I should just call them by their real names. All in all Dr. Pitty (not joking thats his last name) was $70.00 USD. Dr. Vega (much better) was $46.00 USD (which if I had gotten ALL the medicine would be $82). Which comes to a total of….WOW! $116.00 USD, if I had gotten all the medicine I would be looking at $152.00 USD. Mind you this DOES NOT INCLUDE the exams I have to have done. All 5 of them… :( $116.00 USD is a little over 2 months here. $152.00 is a little more then 3 months here…See what I mean when I say its down the toilet bowl. 

But it is true attitude is everything because I have not been focusing on how I feel today, cause I was so excited to be out in service again. So maybe if I don't FOCUS on not having enough money here for anything, AND NOT FOCUS ON my mom having to send the hard-earned money she has to me, AND NOT FOCUS ON whats going on here as to major stress, AND NOT FOCUS ON if I am actually truly getting better, AND NOT FOCUS ON the crazy amount of hair that is falling out of my head due to stress, AND NOT FOCUS ON the fact that I have literally about 15 new mosquito bites from today…then maybe JUST MAYBE I will be ok here…I just can't focus on those types of things…Maybe I should start virtual donation box. Haha…but seriously maybe I should consider that. Like a 'Save Our Bluths' thing but instead 'Support Our Margarita' thing. :D What do you think?! That could work…Nah. Alright well Im going to bed before I start focusing on the things I am not supposed to be focusing on. :) Before I kill my awesome excitement buzz! (Im excited because I get to go in service tomorrow!):D GOOOOOOOOOD NIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!! (And yes your supposed to read that as if I were singing it…because I was…in my mind of course. :) )
