Skies Above

My random thoughts, ideas, and just me.

Well, now I can write about what happened.

Day 1: I get in Biloxi about 3:00 PM, after leaving late. Check into the shitty "Super 8" hotel, and I'm off... Sit there watching TV for a while, then hit the Olive Garden in Gulfport afterwards, then sleep.

Day 2: Woke up early, got their even-shittier "Continental Breakfast" from the restaurant in the hotel, then came back and ate said shitty breakfast... Went to the Veterans Administration offices in Biloxi for some medicine that a family member needs, then went out and hit the stores around the area, finally stopping at Keesler AFB and the Seabee base in Gulfport. Didn't find much, though... Just got myself a new shirt and some assorted stuff I needed, like a new Mach 3 Turbo razor and razor refills. Came back, hit the pool, then went to sleep.

Day 3: Headed across the street to gather pictures of the ocean and beach, which I'll show later. Went to the pool for most of the day after that, then got really sunburned playing "Football toss" in the pool with some guys I came across at the hotel. Went out to the pool again later, then went to the Grand Casino in Gulfport for dinner... Since I'm not 21, the legal gambling age, I had to wear a wrist-band saying "No Dice" meaning I can't gamble, lol. Too bad the age isn't 19, or I'd have spent a good $30 on the $.25 slot machines. The buffet dinner was $12, not bad at all for the food they served. When I go there again, I'm definitely stopping at the Grand again for dinner. Went to bed, had a hard time sleeping because of burning skin, then woke up and took the drive home.

Drive back: I had to travel at 45 MPH through the shittiest conditions possible, extremely heavy rain for 160+ miles. It took around four hours to get home instead of two hours and thirty minutes... What a day that was. I had a huge uber-headache yesterday, combined with the bad drive and the sunburn. Not a good combination, I'll say that much.

Well, I just got back home today... and I'm tired as hell.

My face, arms, and back are burning because of the sunburn I received, and I have a headache the size of Montana right now... I'm going to go to bed and see if I feel better tomorrow.

I'll write about what happened when I get back.

Well, it's 3:15, I just woke up not even a half-hour ago... I keep thinking of someone I really care about while going through this sickness\combined sadness of having to sit in bed and sleep all the time.

I wish she was here with me so I wouldn't be so damn alone right now... I'm not struggling as much to sit up as I was earlier, but having someone to talk with and such would be really good right now. It doesn't help that we're half-the-world apart...

I'm really going to miss her if I leave later today for Biloxi again today...

If I do leave, I won't be back until Friday... so this won't be updated for a while.

Holy fuck, I feel like garbage... I woke up feeling nauseated, then nearly threw up like five times in a row.

I'm struggling just to sit up in my chair right now to type this. I keep feeling waves of pain overcome me every few moments.

I'm hoping this will end soon... at least I can sit up for a while now. I've been feeling like this for well over six hours.
