I May Be Coughing But I'm Not A Pokemon

Last night after I made my blog post for the day, the cough that had been bothering me all day got a whole lot worse and really began to hurt. It was so bad, I was willing to take one of the nasty tasting Sucrets my mom bought for my sister since her throat is in bad shape. She took the cough drop and put it in a baggy then smashed it with a meat tenderizer so I would not have to suck on a whole one, thus, getting to sleep faster. It worked really great. It numbed my mouth and throat immediately relieving my pain and cough. It even did well on my gag reflex. I thought I was going to puke trying to get that down. I took the bag of Sucrets shards with me to my room and tried to go to sleep. I was asleep pretty quickly though I woke several times during the night and had to suck on another shard to get to sleep.

This morning I felt pretty good. I didn't even need any of the cough drop shards and I felt really great. Of course that didn't last long and as soon as noon rolled around I was coughing and hacking again. At first it was just an occasional cough but it got worse and worse as the day progressed. Luckily, my throat does not feel shredded. Really, it feels great except the instant I have a cough.

I again played the Wii alot. I was trying to unlock 2-player survival on Naurto: Clash of Ninja Revolution. You have to get a 30 win streak or better on the single survival in order to open it up. I worked all day trying to get it. I even found my best character. It's not Temari after all. It's Shikamaru. After several attempts, I finally nailed a 25 win streak before dying. I was pretty frustrated as I was only 5 wins away from unlocking 2-player survival. I kept going after this, getting pretty wimpy scores for a time; anywhere from 6 to 16 and such. I eventually got a 23 win streak before I died. I was shocked when it returned to the menu and told me I unlocked 2-player survival. It didn't make any sense to me. I didn't get it with 25 wins. How did I get it with only 23? Especially since I was supposed to need 30? Whatever. I sat stunned for a little. I was slightly frustrated and I wasn't sure where to go next from that. Part of me wanted to still aim for 30 but the other part of me was like "Heck no, I got what I wanted, let's leave it at that." I did.

Instead of playing survival any further I decided to take a whack at "time attack" again. I don't remember what it's really called but it's something like that. All you do is fight through a set number of battles and the faster you get through it the better. My original best was with Temari at approximately 8 min 21 seconds. My sister after that got about 12 min with Itachi, then beat my score with Neji with a time of 8 min 8 seconds. I went in today with Shikamaru and whooped through it in 5 min 45 seconds putting me at the rank Hokage, which I previously had no idea existed as I thought "Head Ninja" was the highest possible rank. Somewhere in the midst of this I began coughing to hard it really hurt my throat but worse of all I couldn't breathe. I tried getting some Sucrets shards melted in my mouth. No effect. I tried lifting my arms over my head. No effect. I really began to panic. I hated to worry my mom but I had to text her and let her know what was going on. She didn't seem worried however. She just suggested I drink a Mountain Dew to open up airways and such. By the time I got the text saying that, I was better for the most part though I did drink it. It tasted really good and I think it helped some.

After that I got a bit bored and went to playing Bleach some more. I had played it earlier somewhere in between playing Naruto. Before I played through Hanataro's episode. THAT was hard... Not only was he weak, but most of his attacks involved his sword which heals the enemy. I beat through this by managing to get my opponents HP slightly below mine then running away from them till time ran out. I felt like such a chicken but at least it ot the job done. Bleh, I hated that. I had a much easier time playing through Byakuya's episode as he is far more powerful.

Compared to Naruto, the battles on Bleach are rather.. Boring. I do have a hard time winning most of the time but even when it's hard it's boring. There's such a lag between being able to execute moves, it's kinda slow paced as opposed to Naruto which is so vicious and far more involving, thus more fun for me since I whoop butt at that game.

Around 3, before I managed to get that 2-player survival unlocked, Sid, a friend of my mom's, came over with another guy to help us with out sink problem. It wouldn't drain. It took them about 45 minutes just to get 85 feet of snake into the drain from outside. When they pulled it back out there was an unbelievable amount of sludge, hair, and other debris on the end. It took another hour to get the rest of the sludge the snake didn't get out. I'm so glad that their efforts did alleviate the problem. Sid even put in a new light fixture above the sink since the last one we had was still lying on the counter and without a switch. Instead of trying to fix that one, he found it easier to just install a "new" one he had in the back of his vehicle. I'm so glad he did that for us, it was getting so tiresome to wash dished in the bathroom. He didn't have to do that for us but he did anyway. We still have a bit of a problem to fix but at least our sink drains properly even with a cap on the cleaning thing on the outside of the house.

Since then I've been playing a little bit of Bleach. The Byakuya episode as mentioned earlier. I wanted to play a bit of Naruto but I thought it better to go to my room and start this post before it hits too late at night. I gotta get up early in the morning. I'm going over to my mom's friend's house for the day. Sarah really seemed to like my company and I enjoyed talking to her. Sarah's mom really seemed to be happy I might go over as well. It's so odd how so many people seem to just love me recently. It's kinda a new concept with people outside my family since I was pretty much despised for unknown reasons in school. Oh well. I'm not complaining. I like being loved.

Well, I'm tired. Post done. I'm going to bed. Cya!
