I’m always doing something. Seriously, if I’m not at one of my two jobs, I’m at a blogger event, or doing stuff for Homecoming, or church, or hanging out with friends, or helping someone with a project. Long story short, I don’t give myself enough rest, I hate plain water, and I find it hard to eat complete nutritious meals.
This weekend after planning an event, attending two blogger meet ups, and church, I came home and couldn’t make my way up the stairs to my apartment. I had severe side pain and my neighbors helped me up the stairs.When I got inside I called my mommy and through tears told her how much pain I was in.
My parents came over as soon as possible and took me to the emergency room, where all of my wrongdoing was brought to the light. Dehydration, exhaustion, and a small bladder infection (from not having enough water). Who knew that that these things were painful? I surely didn’t I was sure that I had appendicitis or something, but I’m glad it was just this, so no surgery is needed. This was a major wake up call. I have to take care of myself, because no one else is going to. Don’t let this happen to you! Take care of yourself!
Eat three meals a day…or eat in general!
Drink plenty of water.
Learn to say no.
Take a break when you need it.
Don’t hold it when you have to use the bathroom.
Above all do what is best for you because you need you!

| The nurses and my daddy thought it was funny that I kept applying my lipstick. It’s already bad that I felt like crap, I definitely didn’t want to look like crap too! I’m sure there were single doctors around! |
Take care of yourselves!
