I'm getting sick

[Zizzykitty]

Don't you hate it when you're definitely getting sick but you aren't quite sick enough to stay home so you have to go through your day feeling like s**t?

Or maybe you're one of those people that stays home with any little ache or pain.

I usually judge staying home on three factors,
How sick I am
How important school is that day, like is there a test.
And how much of my homework I did

For the past week I've been slowly getting sicker.
But I haven't told my mom because I've got orchestra festival tomorrow which is what we've been working towards for the past couple months.
I'm not going to just miss that because of a cough and runny nose.
(Though I am most definitely getting sick I'll be going to school tomorrow at the very least.)

But I've stayed home for a tickle in the back of my throat before because I had a project in photography due that I hadn't done.


How sick are you usually before you'll stay home?
Are you one of those people that tends to get sick a lot?
(That's usually me but I've been uncharacteristically healthy this year)
I hate being babied when I'm sick but do you?

To stay home, I have to be throwing up or something. I can't afford to stay home from work or school.

Fortunately, I don't get sick often. The last time I was truly sick was last year; I had the stomach flu.

I get sinus infections because of long exposures to unpleasant odors and pollen. Apparently the pollen count is large this year, so I'm expecting to suffer.
