The obligatory voting post

[oyceter]

I actually voted a couple of weeks ago by mail because there were a few local measures under consideration in my old county (as opposed to my school county) that I wanted to have a say on. In retrospect, this was an excellent idea, as asthma attack + no sleep + ER visit means I am in no condition to vote or stand in line in the cold and/or wet right now.

I feel like I should dig out the "I voted" sticker that came in the mail and wear it for the heck of it, but I think even that amount of effort will leave me short of breath, and I need oxygen to go to the pharmacy.

On the plus side, I can actually kind of lie down now and still breathe! Oh asthma, it's been so long since I've had an actual attack that I forgot how absolutely horrible you are. I have no idea how I managed to just suffer through multiple attacks when I was a kid before being officially diagnosed years later.

Due to me being sick, my roommate and I's election party has been canceled and I'm going to skip the one at school, but I will either be obsessively watching TV/refreshing the internet, or I will collapse thanks to sleep deprivation!

Do you want me to stop by after work and do some work for your lungs? I'm out at 7 tonight.

Thanks, but I think I'll pass... I think pressure around that area would still be pretty bad, and I'm still wheezy enough to make talking not so fun =(.

I was thinking more point holding and energy work. Nothing vigorous. But if you just want to rest, I understand.

Maybe some other time? I think right now I'm still too tired to do much, ha, just showered and am out of breath, ugh.

Get better soon! If nothing else can be done from Germany, I can at least well wish you.

Thank you!

That sounds terrible-- I'm so sorry!

[oyceter]

I feel much better now! Still sort of coughy, but I can breathe!

Ugh, I'm so sorry you're still sick. :/ I really hope you start feeling better ASAP (and that it's a long, long time--like never--before this happens again).

[oyceter]

Thank you! I hope so too!
