Day 2

Day 1 Reflection: Besides the not being able to walk situation, it wasn't that bad. I've had worse nights. The pain was bearable. I could text, which is always and forever a plus :). There weren't that many hives on my hands or arms. They were mostly concentrated on my legs. My arms were capable of flailing motions. If I got thirsty I could have yelled for one of those other kids my mother had. I got more sleep than the night before. Hope tonight is better. Tennis on Fridays at Queens College...I'd really like to play.

In those moments after I just wake up from a fitful, useless, 3-hour sleep, I think. Since last night was one of those nights, I silently gazed into the darkness and patiently waited for the thoughts to begin flowing. The topic of last night was, surprisingly, shoes. The high-heeled kind. I tried to think about what kind of pain would be similar to what I was feeling at that moment and could only think about women who stomp on the hard pavement of Manhattan's busy streets daily wearing high heels.

Though these shoes are aesthetically beautiful, structurally magnificent, and ridiculously expensive, they're foot death traps. I just can't seem to get over how painful they must be if someone were to walk all day in them. They weren't created for comfort, they were created for show. I guess it's art, tragically painful but beautiful art. My inner NYC Walstreet business woman is drawn to them, but until that time comes...I'm playing it safe with my trusty Converses.

The pain wasn't bad when I woke up this morning. I was a little wobbly on my feet since they were still swollen.

Miscellaneous Stuff Time:

I really miss Gil Grissom (William Petersen) from CSI. Laurence Fishburne just can't compete.

The apples they sell at many of the supermarkets in Queens suck and taste dreadful.

Should have drank coffee today. It's only 8 and I'm feeling tired.

Why do people like to start arguments and then get mad at you for arguing?
