UPDATE: Thank you all for all your wonderful comments, e-mails, and offline messages. I’m sorry I didn’t update yesterday. I’m feeling a lot better. Expect my update tomorrow. Thanks!!!
I know I’m supposed to update today, but I’m not feeling too good. I’m running a mysterious fever and just generally feeling sick. Can’t explain how I’m feeling. Mom asked, “How am I supposed to carry someone who has broken hips? If you don’t tell me how you’re feeling, I can’t help you.” I’ll tell her how I’m feeling once I figure it out.
I’m cold even though it’s hot. Cold goosebumps have nested on my arms, telling me I’m cold. Yeah, thanks for telling me. Every deep breath I take, the goosebumps fatten. They must feed on oxygen. Or maybe they feed on carbon dioxide. They fatten when I exhale. Yeah, definitely carbon dioxide. I’ve popped a couple of ibuprofens. Hope to be better by morning. Will update in three days. Hate feeling like this.
Anyone know if goosebumps can be auctioned on Ebay? Everything sells on Ebay. When I exhale, my scalp itches. Feels like the hairs on the center of my head are all standing. They must be congregating, literally having a meeting on my head. They ought to keep it quiet – or at least limit their movement.
Seriously feel like crying. Did I mention I hate feeling like this? Maybe my body is just tired. Mom thinks I’ve eaten too many peanuts in the last couple of days. [Funmi brought some Naija peanuts back, and I’ve been munching away – with soaked garri, of course. Come to think of it, that’s all I’ve eaten today. A bowl of garri, peanuts & sugar]. Maybe I’ve taken in too much sugar recently. I don’t know. Doubt if it’s the peanuts. They’re so pretty. They have to be innocent. But sugar is evil. It tastes so sweet, but one never knows its intention in the body.
I’m asking, praying, and hoping that the long, healing arm of God touches me and cleanses me completely – from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet. I’ll also prefer for the blood of Jesus to replace my blood. His blood is wayyy cooler. It heals, protects, and cleanses. Mine is just blood. Regular good ol blood. It’s Verastic blood, but blood nonetheless. I’ll be well tomorrow. I’ll be cleansed completely. It’s been written. So shall it be. Amen. I’ll feel better tomorrow.
Well, I just wanted to come here and write two lines or so, telling you that I’m down. So much for being too weak to update. I think I’ve just updated. May the Lord be praised. So have me in your prayers, please. Even if you have other things to pray about – which I’m sure you do – just cancel them all and put me first. No, it’s not selfish of me to request that of you.
I’ll be back. Miss me. Seriously, miss me. I’ll be checking everyone’s Verastic Missometer, and God help you if you’re not missing me. Don’t be found not missing me.
