I’m fucking taking that flight.
Not going to let my stupid body stop me, I’m going to Budapest on Sunday!

rargh, to go or not to go?
My fellow classmates and I have arranged a school trip to Budapest, we’ve been planning it for six months. The flight departs this Sunday, so I have to decide whether or not I feel well enough to join them. On the plus side, I’ll be spending 5 days with great people (some of them I’ll never see again), and I’ll be so sad if I miss out; on the minus side, if I keep feeling the way I feel now, I may well end up spending the entire trip on a bed at the hostel. Sure, it’d be more exciting to spend five days lying on a bed in Budapest than lying on my bed at home… but it’d also be more expensive. What if I get better, though? I felt a little better today.
Ugh, I don’t know what to do :(
If I’m not imagining things, I feel a tiny bit better than I did yesterday. Yesterday was a blur of naps and nausea, so everything steering away from that is an improvement. Perhaps the iron pills are beginning to kick in. Or perhaps I’m just feeling more alive today because I treated myself to a cup of strong coffee… I know it’s not the best thing to drink when I’m trying to regain all the iron my body is so desperately lacking, but I figured I’ve been eating so responsibly in all other aspects that one cup of coffee shouldn’t be too bad.
In other news, it’s become awfully apparent that I feel very uncomfortable without eye makeup (I forgot almost everything except BB cream and blusher). I feel so blaaannnnddd.

Engage!
Since I figured I’m going to have to take it easy while I’m injured, I acquired the complete series of Star Trek Voyager to watch during long days. I’m only halfway through the first episode, and I’m already overcome with childhood feels. I haven’t watched this since I was, I don’t know, seven years old, yet I recognize every single character. and THAT INTRO

I’ve really come to appreciate the fact that I can use this place to talk about virtually everything. It’s cliche, I know, but Tumblr really does work like a sort of safe space. While receiving support from other people is amazing, simply having a place to write down everything that’s going on in one’s head is very valuable in itself, regardless of if someone reads it or not.

My blood count was sliiightly better today (perhaps because I’ve been cutting coffee and tea from my diet + been eating broccoli and drinking orange juice like a maniac, lol). I got a prescription for a HUGE box of iron sulfate pills, so hopefully the dizziness will pass with time. This new addition means that I’m currently taking 8 pills a day. Yelp.
The doctor had a thick German accent, which made everything a little more fun to listen to. There were both some good news and some bad news, but after tomorrow’s tests I don’t have to return until my next appointment which is a month from now. Looks like I’m able to go to Budapest, after all.

Proof that our society’s view on body/weight is severely screwed up, #243:
When I did a standard procedure weigh-in at the clinic, it turned out I’ve lost about 10 pounds/5 kilograms without really noticing (I don’t own a scale, because I think it’s healthier not to obsess over a number). For 0.2 seconds, before being legitimately scared for my health, I thought “woo!”.
I shouldn’t be happy about it. There’s no difference in how I look (if anything, I find myself to be even flabbier), the change is probably due to dehydration and loss of muscle mass. Yet a lesser number on the scale has the power to affect me in such a positive way. That’s just wrong.

Managed to get a doctor’s appointment today, yay! At first the nurse wanted me to come next week, but I’m supposed to go on a school trip to Hungary (!) on Sunday, so she managed to give me an appointment this afternoon instead. (I have no idea how I’m going to survive a week in Budapest while I’m in this condition, but I really want to go)
First of all, I’m going to the clinic to have some new blood tests taken. I’m a bit scared. Very, very dizzy as well (so sorry if my posts are weird or jumbled). The nurse was surprised that I hadn’t been prescribed any dietary supplements for my anemia at the other clinic… Hopefully I’ll be getting some now, because this isn’t working. I don’t want this to be something serious.
Me singing at my mother’s wedding, while managing to look like a blue sack of potatoes in the process. The dress was borrowed from a friend, definitely not my style, but I needed something… non-black. It’s a nice colour, at least.

aaahh why is Mezzo Friend so NICE
(I have tons of mezzo friends, but this is Mezzo Friend)
It’s such a natural thing for her to be kind, she’s the type of person that everyone wants to be around. She seems so comfortable with displaying affection, too. Got a text message saying she missed me a lot, which made me very happy <3 So glad that we’re both staying at the same school next year. Lots and lots of duets are to be sung!
