POLISH GERMS

my skin has that ultra sensitive feeling-like if something in slightly the wrong temperature comes near it, it feels like little pins.

i went to conversation club on monday night and although i didn't smoke a cigarette, i inhaled mass amounts of secondhand. which wouldn't normally affect me but for some reason, the next morning i woke up feeling as though i myself had smoked a pack of reds. i was doing okay aside from the sore throat but then yesterday, before my kids class, i felt naseous. so today, i called in for the first time at ils. i hate calling in sick. i usually try and stick it out but i knew if i did, this was gonna get worse and then i'd probably miss more than i planned. and i had three classes in a row today - there's no way that would fare well.

when i first moved here, i got sick. then, a month or two later, sick again. and now, this is my third time. when you're a child, you get sick a lot because you're body's not yet immune to all the weird germs it comes in contact with. i think that's what's going on here. that, or the weird brownish orange water that's coming out of our faucets is finally taking a toll.
