I slept through my alarm. I slept a lot this weekend, so maybe it was because of that. I don't know. Maybe I overslept this weekend and it made me extra tired. Whatever the reason was I woke up feeling super groggy. And I know it wasn't the wine from the night before because I didn't have that much. It was mostly just hanging out. I ended up staying home from work and sleeping even more hours, if that we even possible. When I eventually got up I didn't know what to do. There wasn't anything I could do from home fore work and I was caught up on my blogs.
Well, do you want to know what I did? I chatted on Facebook messenger to friends I had just begun to know. Yup, that is pretty much all I did. I had been invited to go out to Nubar with people to watch the Olympics. It was about a 5 minute walk from where we lived, so it was convenient. I didn't feel much like drinking so I only had 2 ciders over the course of about 3 hours. Nothing more special that that. It was great craic watching the swimming and gymnastics. No wonder these are our olympians.
I walked home with some of my girls, and tried to get to sleep early. No luck, unfortunately, but I did get some good reading done.

Wednesday, June 27-Thursday June, 28th
This is sick day number two. My voice was pretty much gone. I called in and then e-mailed our supervisor to ask for work. She didn't have anything for me. She just wanted me to get better. I stayed in bed until about 4pm, but I really needed to get groceries because I was out of almost everything.
Walking to Tescos was really tough. I felt like I had a fever, but knew I really had to get food. I got everything I needed except tea. I forgot to look there and the convince store next to us only has english tea. I wanted herbal tea.
Walking back was torture. The bags were heavy and I felt awful. It has never felt like that long of a walk before. Normally it takes about 10-15 minutes to walk home and I swear it took at least 20. Maybe longer.
I put all my groceries away and got some water from the store, the tap water is disgusting. I spent the rest of the day in bed and going through my e-mails. I went to bed early but still felt sick when I got up on Thursday. I had even laid out my clothes for the next day.
I slept in late. I've been in bed most of the day, but had not taken any medication. I want to see if not taking any will help me get better quicker. I've taken to eating honey on a lot of things lately, and will probably have some on green apples soon. I'm trying to eat better, but my roommates have place chocolate in the kitchen. Out in the open. It is really hard not to eat it. I also bought popcorn yesterday for my roommate and she got some too, so we have a ton. I ate pretty much a whole bag today, and I don't even really like popcorn.
The rest of today will be spent in bed and eating. I think I will go grab an apple and some nuts now.
It's been really warm in Dublin. It went from low 60s to 70s in the past week. The humidity is pretty high too. The rain is kind of funny as well. Sometimes it rains when the sun is out but it is light, and almost refreshing. Other times it is just light. Like the sky is spitting. It is almost hard to notice then.

I was feeling a lot better and was the first intern to work today. Today we were to finalize some plans for the summer camps. After doing that we went on a little field trip to a place called the chicken shop. It is a nickname of course. Rarely, are places called their actual names in Dublin. I didn't see anything there that I wanted, but I'm extremely picky. The others grabbed some soups for 1 euro that are normally 4 euros a piece. It was a fun little trip, but it definitely tired me out.
The children came back around 4:30 and worked on crafts and projects. While the others were working with the kids I worked on making signs for the camps. There is a schedule on the wall, so it makes it a lot easier this way.
After work I headed to Dicey's. It was a very long evening. It was fun at first, but I wanted to go home early, and no one else did. Instead I waited to leave with everyone else. We got back really late and I had lost my voice from trying to talk over the music. I was much worse the next day than I had been on Monday. I learned my lesson. If you go out just to be with friends don't be afraid to leave early so your health doesn't get worse.

I woke up feeling terribly sick. I think it was a mix of a couple different things. I had already been a little sick, and then gluten always messes me up for a few days after. I spent the day in bed, but I originally planned to just go in late.
I called in in the morning so that they knew I wouldn't be in until later. I got up around noon (the time I am supposed to start work) and started to get ready. I didn't feel well, but continued to get ready. On the way to the bus I considered turning around and just heading back home. As I arrived at the bus stop so did the bus. It was perfect timing. I got on the bus and headed up to the second floor, like I always do. Not long after I got on there was an announcement that we all had to get off the bus and get onto the next one. Apparently, a man was passed out on the bus. They couldn't wake him up, so everyone had to get off the bus to take him to the hospital.
In the ten minutes I was waiting for the bus my head got heavy and foggy. I decided I didn't want to get anyone sick, and that I would not be any use to anyone at the office. It would probably just make me more sick.
I spent the rest of the day in bed. I did create a form for work, but I was just too exhausted to do anything else. This was my first initial sick day, but I've had two more since then. I just can't seem to get better.
