In and out

The past couple of days have been a blur. I've been extremely lethargic, drifting in and out all the time. I'm not sure what the cause is, or rather, which of the causes has the biggest impact on me.

There's not much to do now that school is out. I tried occupying my time with writing, or drawing, or whatever creative task I can think of, but no ideas come to mind.

No, that's not true.

More like I've been having problems articulating myself in whichever medium I was using to create. If I wanted to draw, the picture would turn out awful. If I wanted to write, word would fail to capture the essence of my thought. If I wanted to cook, well, let's just say the final product would be crap.

I haven't been to work for the past few days either. I've been taking it easy at home, resting quite a bit. The wound on my stomach hasn't healed much. The skin appears to be reattaching, but it breaks easily and the pain is intense. I've tried putting salt on it because I remember someone telling me that salt can kill bacteria. Not a fun process, as one can imagine. I also tried applying anti-bacterial cream on the cut even though the label explicitly instructs the users not to put the cream on an open wound. Well screw that, I'm hurting badly.

It's good to be free from work and all, but the bills are piling up. I've received calls from different companies asking me to pay up. Hold your horses, people. A few late bills won't bankrupt you. Family will be back soon to handle it, I think. If not, just give me a few more days when I can actually walk up and down the stairs without doubling in pain at the end of each flight.

A little help now would be nice.
