I’m so tired and so grossly sick. My ribs hurt each time I cough. I keep trying to write something decent, but it’s all just a big mess. I’ve been trying to kidd myself for the past few days, pretending this illness was nothing. This morning I nearly passed out while coating my lashes with mascara, but I still put on my suede red & purple tie-dyed Miu Miu Mary Janes (which are amazing, BTW) and tried to put my best foot forward – you know, you look good, you feel good.

I ended up having an awful morning, rolled into work even later than usual, left somewhere in the early afternoon, and have been at home coughing and blowing my nose with torn-up pieces of paper towels, because not only are we out of tissue, but we are even out of toilet paper! If it weren’t for my pur~lisse ‘eye adore’ and moisturizer, I’d probably look like the crypt keeper. My pills, syrups, etc. really aren’t making me feel any better so I suppose tomorrow I’ll have to take the day off and get something that will improve my sorry situation – a new pair of shoes will do the trick, but what I really need is some homemade chicken noodle soup. sigh.
