Flu Girl Talk at 4am

Happy almost-4am (yikes).

Do I have issues with priorities? Yes. But in my defense, I have the flu right now, and I slept all day. Supposedly, because I am sick and my immune system is crap, sleeping all day shouldn't have affected my internal clock. Hahaha yeah...try again.

So here I am. It's almost 4am, and I'm blogging. This blogging-at-weird-hours-of-the-night (day) thing is turning into a bad habit, but hey, at least I'm not out drinking at these weird hours (or ever). Bloggy blog blog blog...

Random thoughts I've had/collected over break:

1. Family is awesome. I was lucky enough to do some phenomenal bonding with my great grandma (and my family in general) over the days leading up to - and following - Christmas. Love. That. Family. And my littlest sister literally stalked me for a couple hours today. Why? Because, "Mom told me not to leave your side until she comes home." Works for me. Company + a little minion to fetch Tylenol/Motrin/crackers/peach tea for the sick kid = a somewhat happier sick kid.
2. Doctors must get sick. I had a really nice doctor today after driving a half an hour away to find an urgent care that didn't have 40+ people waiting like the one that is two minutes away from my house did. Yeesh. Happy flu/sick people season! I was the oldest kid by at least fifteen years in the waiting room, but that's what I get for going to South Lake Pediatrics; the key word is pediatrics. I couldn't help but think that doctors must get sick; after all, they deal with all of us when we are sick. How do they stay healthy?
3. Books are amazing. I just finished a series - the Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick - and I'm extremely sad it's over. Now I have to go reread all of the books again :) The final book ended beautifully, even though it was 3:15am. My bad. It's a series created for teenage girls and that's obvious: the mysterious, sexy boy who just happens to be a fallen angel kicked out of heaven? That right there should scream TEENAGE GIRL CRAZE. Judge me as you will...the books were delicious.
4. Winter break should be longer. Coming from the kid who will probably be sick through New Year's everything and has barely thought about school but is now realizing that it starts back up in T-minus too few days, break needs to be longer. Ugh.
5. Holiday food and treats. So, so good, but so, so bad. Sorry about the excessive commas there...anyway, staffers, I will be dropping off a decent amount of candy/chocolate/cookies come that-wretched-day-when-we-go-back-to-school. Get ready for sugar highs.
6. Technology is beautiful. I recently joined the iPhone craze - it was my big Christmas present/incentive to finish (start) my college apps - and I'm loving it. Maybe a little too much, but whatever...my snapchat is Hu-lia because JBay and JBayBay and Juju and JujuB and Julz and Jules and Hulia and JuliaGulia and JoJo and pretty much anything that is a variation of my name is taken. Sigh...

Okay. I'm posting this so it is posted before 4am. The time stamp on here is messed up, but it's currently 3:58am so...I'm going to go alphabetize some yearbook rosters. Happy sleeping.
