 5  We spent the whloe weekend in the ER, basically. I had taken friday off, and was mostly too focused on enjoying my early weekend to really notice that Parul was not feeling too well. She was mostly fine the night before, which was Survivor night, and Mahima came over late, and then left really late. Pearl woke me around 3am, and was really unwell, and asked me to take her to the ER. We get there, and find out later that there is no IV fluid for her, since there's a nation wide shortage. They give her some benedril and watch her for the night, treating her symptoms with various things, and around 4pm. She had stopped throwing up in the ER, but basically as soon as we got home, she was thowring up again. This time around 11pm, Archana had found a hospital that confirmed with her on the phone that their phamarcy can get IV, and yes there is a nation wide shortage. We head there, and she's back within about 4 hours, feeling a lot better.

 7  She seems to be doing much better since then, and hasn't thrown up much today. I spoke with her mum and dad, Anuskha was helping organizing things,since she had experience with Parul like this in the past. She was so sweet and very helpful, I'm glad she rallied Archana too, who was so unbelievably sweet, staying with Pearl, while I slept in her car. I feel like her parents are happy with me now, and I'm so grateful to everyone who offered help and suggestions because I really had no idea what to do.

 9  I spent most the weekend trying to avoid thinking too much about it, and spent a lot of time cleaning up, and doing chores to divert my mind.  Otherwise I'd watch comedy on youtube, or play a game of balatro, but I couldn't focus to do much else.

11  However now my vape is busted and I'm slowly losing my mind. Even though I keep planning on quitting, I'm certain I'll go pick one up tomorrow. I need to get more serious about quitting if it's gonna happen.
