Thanks guys. Don't worry everyone, I'm not going to die(although sometimes it feels like it) I just have Mononucleousis(Mono.)

It all started Thursday when I noticed my lymph nodes. Nothing out of the ordinary. Friday I noticed them more, they were more inlarged and more tender. Saturday I went to work at 8am and they were really bothering me there. Plus I noticed these 2 bumps on the back of my head which I learned to be lymph nodes later. I was tired and began to get dizzy. So yeah I mentioned I'm having the party on Saturday night. Well, I followed through with it and had a good time although my pain really put a damper on my fun. I went to bed early and that night I believe I had a fever. I was having shooting pains in my left lymph nodes on my neck and it kept me up all night. Waking up every hour extreamly in need for water. It sucked, because on Sunday I had to go to work at 9 am. (plus daylight saving time -1 hour of sleep)

I was 1/2 hour late to work. And everyone said go to the doctor.
So yesterday I went and they checked what it was and I have mono. Theres no antibotic for it. You can just treat the symptoms. I've been taking ibuprofen for the pain. Also I don't really feel like eating anything, because my stomach feels upset afterwards usually.

Last night was harsh because of those shooting pains. The pain medication wasn't helping that much, idk. But I tried to go to bed early and just ended up getting up and slumping around. Sam, my mom and I watched a cool show about Juliard. When I got up to go to the bathroom and looked in the mirror to check my tonsills and see how big they were there was definitly something wrong in my mouth that looked like it shouldn't be there. Looked like an infection. It scared me... but I just gargled salt water. Idk. This morning I called the doctor, she said it was normal for Mono. :?
I hope I can get over this soon.The shooting pains is the worst. :cry: They really really really really really hurt. Bleh this is harsh.

No footbag for a while.... :(

Really sorry to here you have mono. My friend had it once and he was pretty bad. I hope you don't have it as bad as he did. I don't even know if there's like different degrees of it. But anyway, get better soon.

Oh man, sorry to hear that Ashley. I had Mono when I was 16. I had a really bad case of it too. I remember being tired ALL the time, just exhausted. Do as little as possible. Don't push yourself. Feel better.

8) Thanks Lon.

I'm happy that I have this weekend off. It's the first weekend I've had off that I havent requested off because of a trip or somthing. I'm feeling better, and I'm able to work on some art projects I have going. I'm liking what I'm producing. As for footbag, I will be taking the week off, and probably kicking next weekend. I should be back to normal by then. For now, I'm outty.

Ashley vs Mono, Ashley 1, Mono 0!!!

I've never seen someone recover so quickly! But, having the patience and wisdom to take an extra week just to make sure, Bravo!

Firstly, I need a camera. It's starting to realllly get to me. I'm tempted to get one tommarow because I get a paycheck tommarow.
Secondly, I'm frustrated with the lack of footage of women now that I've been pondering the situation.
Thirdly, I want to go to a comp, or look forward to going to one.
Fourthly, my teachers at school are wack, because I was out of school with Mono and its screwed me over.
Fifthly, I had a session. It didn't last long because I didn't want to overwork myself having just getting over mono, but here are the highlights:

Ripwalk x3
spinning clipper>spinning osis> pdx mirage> ss butter repeat
decent length runs.

It's good to hear that you're thinking about the lack of women's footage. That sucks about your school situation. I went through that too, but in the end I graduated so it was fine. I hope you get the chance to make up that crap load of school work. :? Good idea on only having a short session. Spinning clipper>spinning osis>pdx mirage>ss butter>rpt sounds fun. :-)

Thanks for the update. :-)

Well today I sessioned with Sam after work. Sam finally beat me in 2 square... :evil: but its ok. I didn't accomplish much except some clipper> ripwalk drills and maybe 2 good spinning runs.

I made ice cream for the first time today. It was SO good. I also used it to make me a milkshake. Yummmm. Although, I think I had too much because my head hurts. Bleh.

Easter is tommarow, and I'm going to Vero Beach to visit family, and leaving Sam here at the house. We already said our farewells. :cry: I feel bad. I haven't been apart from him in a long time since he lives with me. I will miss him dearly :( .

For right now I'm going to search around a bit more, then probably crash out.

Cya.

My computer crashed a while ago, so I havent been on for a while. I just read up on recent stuff like the kicking circle and the stuff involving Sam.

I can't descibe my feelings really. Dissapointed maybe. Its just like... most of those people don't know Sam. I know Sam. I live with him and we've been in a relationship for a long time. I've seen every side of him. If you dont know Sam, let me tell you about him.

He puts me before anything. He cares about people. He always has the best intentions. He will start a conversation with the most random person just to get to know them. He likes meeting new people. In no way, would I ever believe, he put the site to vaporizers on to promote smoking weed.

Most people seems to have forgotten eveything Sam has done. He created Freestyle Reality. A movie that he put his heart and soul into. A movie that he put online for free. They just seem to have forgotten now.

I know Sam's temper. And I think that posting is such an easy way to be misunderstood.

I dont even want to go on.
I love him, and im deeply sad about this whole thing because of how sam is feeling now.

I'm almost finished with school for the year. That means I'm all most closer to summer shreds. Those are some of the best days you can have in life.
