Being An Adult - S U C K S
I am on my own, I. am. an. adult. And today being an adult sucks. When you don't feel well, like today, my mom is not here to baby me and give me soup and let me stay in bed and watch TV, miss school/work etc etc (i'm sure you remember back in the day).
So how you do make it when you are on your own?
My symptoms:
bad headache, almost a migraine
the back of my neck feels like I got whacked (no i did not drink last night)
and loud noises hurt

I would just say, suck it up and grow up, but that wouldn't be the friendly, honest advice you need.
If I were you, I would do everything your mother taught you.
Here is what you should do:
First: Call in sick from work or school. You are going to need it.
Second: Make yourself a warm cup of chicken noodle soup or whatever your mom used to make you.
Third: Put on some comfy pjs and take some tylenol extra strength
Forth: Lay in your bed or on your sofa and cover yourself with your favorite blanket.
Fifth: Dim the lights, turn on some soft music, and turn the ringers on your phone OFF.
Sixth: Take a nap (2hrs best)
* It may be smart if you haven't done so yet to get a flu shot. You know Flu season tends to peak late January, early February.
Seventh: Wake up, call your mom and tell her you are miserable!
She may have pitty on you and pay you a friendly visit if she doesn't.. I guess it is truly time to realize you are on your own and prove to everyone you can do it.
I have faith in you. Trust me, I feel your pain. Its hard to transition from living at home, to doing everything on your own, but look on the bright side. Your parents are going to be so proud of you when you finally make it all the way!
The thing I hated most when I moved out on my own was having to actually read insurance packets and decide on my own health care options. What a pain in the a--. I much preferred my mother doling out the insurance card and sending my on my way to the doctor she had known for years because she worked for the doctor next door. Being on my own meant, New city? New state? Mama doesn't know the doctor? What the heck am I gonna do?!?!
I'm with 'young and successful'...take care of yourself first...then everything else will fall into place. I have a daughter in her first yr of college and she is only 'beginning' to see 'a few minor realities' of being on her own. She is NOT really on her own though...we still pay for just about everything. If, and when, she finishes college and starts working full time...and is not on our insurance anymore...she is going to get a real wake-up call! But, I'm the type of mom who will NOT allow her to 'suffer' much. Life is short and I want to always be there for her. Hope you're feeling better. And, thanks for the 'comment' on Lorrie's site!
