ValuingTheTimeAfterItIsGone


*Cough* *Gag* *Spit*

That sums up the last few days. On Wednesday morning (I think it was Wednesday) I woke up with a fever, exhaustion, and a cough. It was lame. But I got over it.... Mostly. All that remains is an annoying phlegm cough that makes everything taste bad. At least I got over my sickness before the holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner and I am so excited.

I always think back on the times I was healthy whenever I fall ill. Why do I only appreciate my health after it is taken away from me? Those times I could swallow without pain, or cough without worrying about spitting out yucky gunk, or even breathing without any problems. Whenever I am healthy I don't even give it a thought. Months pass by and I finally get struck with illness and all I can think about is the day I will be 100% again. But I know once I achieve full health I will not even give it a thought. I dunno, I just always thought it funny how the human mind works that way. We just take things for granted way too easily.

Alright, enough about sickness. Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Only two weeks left and I will confront the Bird of Ages. Too bad it is going to be another Thanksgiving with a fragmented family. Hopefully the last fragmented Thanksgiving. Though all we ever do on that blessed day is eat and watch the parade (Which isn't even a parade anymore) on TV. What do you Dear Readers do for Thanksgiving? Odds of it being more exciting than mine will be guaranteed so don't hold back.

Oh yeah. I never mentioned it, but I have finished my GED. Yeah, apparently you have to sit for it when you drop out of high school. But I didn't drop out! I am just a homeschooler who still strives for excellence in education! Ah, who am I kidding, I am just as good as those high school flunkies. I took that three day test by the horns and shoved into the ground. It was very relaxing actually. I enjoyed the whole experience greatly. The SAT was so brutal, so the GED was like a soothing walk in the forest. Nothing but a serene time with a steady stream of middle school questions. I am pretty sure I passed the test. But! Who knows? I could have failed!!....... NAHHHHHH.

Now that I have completed my SAT and GED I can say that I have completed my high school education! Even though I am in the middle of my senior year I am just cruising through it with the exception of Physics. The idea of applying to a college hasn't even crossed my mind yet. I don't even want to think about that till we figure out where we are going to be in the next year. But the odds of me ending up in a college are pretty high. Uggg, out of the pot and into the fire as they say.

Call me lame, call me a kid, and call me a couch potato, I don't care! The Playstation 4 comes out this week and nothing is going to get between us except the dreadful fact that I have to wait for it to ship over here to Hawaii... Ahh, so the horrid term 'patience' strikes again. Wait an extra two weeks for my PS4? Challenge accepted.

Hm? Ohhhh, right.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving Dear Readers. Don't forget to thank Jesus for everything, especially for your health.... If you are healthy..... If not, then pray for health.... Cause being sick sucks.....

Happy Thanksgiving!
