Like Some Cat from Japan

The Day I Left High School.

Today, I left high school. Not because I’m dropping out or because I do not want an education, but because I am too sick to physically go to school. So, I will be studying from home now. And no, I’m not contagious. The End.

ANYWAYS! I woke up this morning feeling VERY unrefreshed so I treated myself to a very delicious breakfast. Whilst in the kitchen, I thought: “I don’t want fruit today. Today ain’t a fruity day.” but I forced myself to eat some sort of fruit being the health food junkie that I am. I had: 1 c. of Kashi Go Lean Crunch!, a container of Oikos greek yogurt mixed with strawberry syrup, and 1/4 of a banana. Wow. I just realized I eat the same thing everyday. I am obsessed with that cereal!

Boooooo… after I got ready, it was time to go to school. I felt like such an immense dummy in math class. We were doing TAKS reviews on the board and I was staring at the problems and nothing would process. The girl next to me had really cute boots… and the same thing happened in biology, I just couldn’t concentrate! And I do not have ADD, so don’t even go there.

In Bio, I became hungry so I drank the french vanilla Carnation Instant Breakfast that I brought to school in my cute Starbucks thermos and 1/2 a strawberry crumble Luna Bar. I must admit that I was trying to show off my bar as much as possible because they are just so pretty. I am really learning to appreciate the beauty of food by photographing it. Yeah, I think food is beautiful, go ahead and think I’m weird :p

By 3rd period, I had to call it quits. I called my mother right after that period and went home. I felt so weak. That is when I went to the doctor. We had been contemplating whether to just keep me home or not for the past month, and today the final decision was made. My pulse was back down at 44 and my blood pressure had plummeted. There is just no way I can get better by going to school. I’m sure some of you (certain someones) are rolling their eyes reading this right now, but I don’t care. You do not know what I’m going through and thank you to anyone who has been supportive throughout this whole ordeal

I was starved by the time I got out of the doctor’s office at 12:30 so I asked my mom to take me to HEB and buy me a frozen meal. I didn’t even have the energy to cook. YEAH, I felt THAT bad. I had the Kashi Sweet and Sour chicken meal. I am obsessed with Kashi, what can I say?

I was excruciatingly full after this meal and I don’t even remember what I did next. “I don’t remember”: three words I say alot lately. Something is wrong with my memory. After all, I do have the brain of a 50 year old! (or so crazy Dr. H says.) He reminds me of Dr. Hill from Re-animator. Not a good person to be reminded of. LOOK!:he’s the guy in the tray.

I got a bit hungry about 4 hours after lunch so I made myself a nice cup of green tea and got out a crunchy peanut butter ThinkThin meal replacement bar to snack on. Those things have a whopping 20g of protein! Heeeell yeah. I’ma get buff.

I decided to start looking at old health cooking magazines that my mom has. The Luna bar wrappers were so different in 2002. I’m sure you care, hahaha.

My cat is a villain, by the way. She slaps my dog at a rate of 5 hits a second. I am convinced she is a karate kitten. Watching her abuse my fat dog is sad… yet fascinating. Look at my lil Kitten poop! (awkward.):I know you can’t see her very well, but that is one of the only pictures of her that I have where she isn’t moving or licking her butt.

Din Din came along and I was craving some mono and polyunsaturated fasts so I opted for 30g of Avocado, Veal, and olive oil, garlic, and parmesan seasoned Oven Reds. I’m sorry that my dinners never look that appetizing. You see, my mom is mainly in charge of preparing those. That is not a diss in any way. She is just more into the taste quality of the food rather than the appearance of it. She is a phenomenal cook.

I went to the video store with my brother after dinner. He rented Marley & Me for the 9th time, and that is not an exaggeration. He has rented HSM3 about 11 times. Aye.. my brother. And then he yelled at me to never go into his room again, and I was in my bedroom. I don’t know about him sometimes!

Bedtime snack: Stonyfield Farm Peach yogurt, 1/4 c. Fiber One, chopped peaches and pecans. It felt indulgent.

Its time for bed now. It is hard to believe that tomorrow I won’t be waking up to get going for school, but to stay at home. I get to take care of my brother while my grandma and mom go to a doctor’s appointment. My poor abuelita is having an abdominal ultrasound. Ugh, I probably need one since my stomach has been hurting non stop. OMG… MAYBE I HAVE THE SWINE FLU!

Damn.. I sure hope not!

XOXO, KARINA<3
