i liked philip seymour hoffman before you liked philip seymour hoffman
hello loves -
i had a big weekend, only for things to come crashing down yesterday afternoon. my throat started feeling bad right before the oscars started, and by 3 am i started to cry every time i swallowed.
so this morning i wobbled 6 blocks to my doctors office and was told i had strep throat. awwwesome. the pain is seriously excrutiating. thankfully i have injested heaps of codeine so am kind of numb to it (ie. can swallow w/out tearing up).
supposedly this mess will last for at least three days, which is ideal timing considering sister comes on sunday (yeeeees!!) and boys from naples who i couchsurfed with come next wednesday. i really hope im better before beth arrives for i miss and love her and want to feel 100% when she gets here.
the hardest part about being way far away is the alone-ness factor. its been so difficult to head to the doctor/hospital an average of 3 times per week or to feel super sick (ie. now) without having family around. i miss family so much right now. i am tired of being so freaking 'strong' all the time. BUT my coworker, celina, came over tonight and made me a delicious soup that i was actually able to swallow. an hour or so later, rudy (who is safe and well and wants to return to the philpns) came by with lemons, sprite and advil. i feel really fortunate for having even a small yet totally solid friend-base here.
and i miss drinking water. oh how i miss drinking of the water.
hope all is well out there. i had better stories, but codeine and tearful swallows are most prominent in my small and at times malfunctioning brain at the moment.
oh! and i nearly teared up when philip s.h. won the best actor oscar last night. seriously, go see 'capote' - the film is good, but he did one of the best acting jobs ive seen in the previous 5 years of film.
miss you guys a lot!! love love love.
