The year started with chicken pox

Yes, dear readers, it's a sad start to the year for me. On Thursday Mum noticed that I had a strange boil on my palm and wondered where it came from. But then lots more appeared all over me and the doctor confirmed that I've got chicken pox.

I'm not feeling too happy right now. It's all itchy and I've got lots of unpleasant looking spots all over, including on my otherwise very pretty face. It's quite uncomfortable to lie down at the moment, but at least I've found a solution for this - last night I just decided not to go to sleep. Of course, Mum and Dad tried to put me to bed a few times but it was easy to get them to give up on that - just scream your lungs out for a few minutes despite everything they try to do, and they take you downstairs again. I'm just sorry that I eventually got so tired that I fell asleep for a couple of hours, from 7 am to 9 am. It's been a while since I've done an all-nighter...

Apparently I could be better as early as the middle of the week or as late as a whole week after that. I want to be cute again so I hope it's sooner rather than later.
