I feel like I'm slowly dying. My throat hurts so badly that I can hardly talk, and any sound that comes out is very painful to produce. I hardly have the energy to stand up, and walking up one flight of stairs to my room puts me out of breath. Now I have a pounding headache and about 50 pages of reading to do before I can go to bed. I've been taking Advil Cold and Sinus every 4 hours, but I don't know if it's helping or not. The funny thing is, this morning/afternoon it wasn't so bad and I felt like I was getting better. Now I just want to collapse somewhere. Blah. If I die, please come to my funeral.

On the bright side, Nina and I went to Target today to buy Christmas decorations. Our room is so neat and Christmasy now. We have Christmas ornaments hanging from the ceiling on gold ribbon, candy canes in a bowl, a small Christmas tree on the windowsill, garland around the door and light, and Christmas lights and Christmas window cling-ons on my window that faces the courtyard so everyone can see. Our room is amazing. We win the prize for best decorations. Nobody else even comes close. :) Yay, I'm so excited about Christmas! If I can just survive the next three weeks...
