Sick and Tired:)

I have not been sick in a really long time. A few years, I guess, is a long time in a lifespan of only twenty-four years, thus far. I don't recommend it to anyone, but if you have to get sick, don't get sick over one of the only holiday's that gets you time off work and school and back home to see your family. I am not sure what caused it, but the day after the day after thanksgiving I completely cleaned out my system. That would be all well and good if I could then fill it back up again with more of the Thanksgiving fixings, but I have traversed back across the cold wasteland of Nevada and the turkey is now 700 miles away from me. I couldn't really eat for a few days afterward anyway so I guess it wasn't all bad. #2. I wouldn't recommend getting sick the week that all the projects and midterms are due before finals week. Oh, that happened to me too. I could count my blessings and say that I caught up on a lot of sleep deprivation, but sleeping when you're sick doesn't quite rejuvenate like a well-placed siesta or twenty-minute power nap. So that makes me scrutinize the phrase “sick and tired” because from every infirmed experience in my life, sickness is always accompanied by tiredness. I suppose like the rectangle is not a square, tired isn’t always sick but the idiom doesn’t read like that. Lesson learned. Of course, you can’t pick when you get sick, but from what I have divined, I can always expect that when my life is going great, I will receive a trial during finals week.
