let's just say I've had a pretty sucky day so far.
So it all started when I woke up... er... tried... to wake up.
Eventually I dragged myself out of bed and checked my notifications.
Nothing important.
I get dressed and walk downstairs for breakfast when I am Suddenly aware that I'm not hungry.
Which is a problem when I live in a house where I have to eat breakfast no matter what.
So I wander around wondering what I'm going to eat.
I decided on cereal (I hate cereal)
I power through about 1/4 of it (meanwhile my brother annoys me just by sitting near me.... when I'm in a bad mood I get triggered easily XD)
And then when my stepmom went upstairs....
I threw it in the garbage
And that's where my bad day really starts.
By not eating I don't have as much energy as normal (which btw I don't have much energy normally either)
So then I get in the van and I'm off to school.
Then I realized I forgot one of the only things that calms me down.......
My ukulele.
So we get to the school and my friends are there and I think "ok I'm at school now the day will probably get better"
First class was PE. I HATE PE.
And my teacher MADE me participate today.
(Btw I have a note from my doctor that I'm not supposed to be participating due to medical reasons)
But I did the warm up.... and we were playing frisbee (I'm scared of frisbees) outside in the cold.
I actually wanted to curl up in a ball and cry.
And then they had an ultimate frisbee tournament. I was the score keeper.
I still wanted to cry.
Finally it was over.
I went to one of my favourite classes- heathy living. Why is this my favourite class? Cuz we get to play ukulele!!!!
Except... of course.... today.
Noooo today we went on a walk. Outside. In the woods. In the cold!!!
It was so cold...
I was shivering the whole time.
Finally after class it was lunch. I ate my lunch without talking to anyone.
And then I remembered.... I needed to get some homework.
Last night I gave my dad my report card... and let's just say I had one really bad mark. So I told him I would bring the grade up by doing homework.
So I went to pick up my homework, knowing that tonight I would be doing a heck load of one of my least favourite classes homework.
After lunch I had science. I was way too tired to focus.... since my energy was so low I pretty much used all of it outside in the cold.
Since it was a "work period" we were pretty much allowed to do anything.
Most people are working.... but me... no... I seriously don't have enough energy to focus on working.
So I'm writing this.
Under a desk.
Seriously. My friend went under a desk so I copied her so now I'm under my desk.
This is high school for you, kiddos.
It's cold here.
I've been very cold all day today.
I wOnDeR wHy.
And to continue to my bad day I have math next block. Aaaaah.

So you might be wondering what this medical thing is.
So I'm really really anemic. Which means I have extremely low iron and very low energy.
Don't worry.... we are trying everything to get me better... but for now I probably shouldn't be doing PE.
Once I was doing PE and I almost passed out.
That was scary.
Some side effects of anemia includes:
Restless legs
Hard to breath sometimes
Low energy
Not being able to focus well
Always tired
Constantly going to get blood tests (they hurt)
And yeah... that's what I'm dealing with rn.
But when dealing with things like this I always try and stay positive
My life isn't always going to be like this. I'm not always going to be extremely anemic....
It's going to get better.
It always does.
