Okay, the answer to the riddle is an.....

UMBRELLA!

Groggy

Ugh.... Last night I slept for a total of one hour, I am so tired! Stupid shingles...... I was awake to hear the dawn chorus though (at 4:00 am lol) so that made it all worth while. Its really magical hearing all those birds sing their hearts out to the world at such an early time! Its weird- they sing every single morning, yet I never hear them cos I'm always sound asleep! Go on, no matter where you are in the world, set your alarm clocks for 4:00 am and listen to those birds; there singing deserves to be recognised as beautiful music!

Sore

Waaa..... I hate having the shingles, its no fun. Everyone else from my school is at sleepovers, the park, having fun, and I stuck in awful pain and a eternal state of ictyness. Ha, the funny (as if) thing is that they will be gone by Monday, so I'll be in perfect health for school. Yay. I have to swallow numerous tablets a day and put on this horrible cream five times a day. Plus I can't go outside in the heat, because that hurts even more. Arghhhhhhh! I wanna get better....... Why do I have to be the one in five, the rare case of shingles in a child whos immune system is perfectly fine thank you very much.
Why?!?!?!

A thought (or two)

If you say its opposite day on opposite day, therefore its not opposite day!

Also, can you crack this riddle (moocha, you're not aloud to answer as you know! :P)

What goes up a chimney down but can' t go down a chimney up?

In two days I'll post the answer, but only if no one guesses correctly!

Illness

Turns out I have the shingles. Bah humbug! Its just my luck to get them in the half term holidays when I'm meant to be relaxing! I wil be fine for school next monday (argh!!!!) but at least I'll get to skip P.E and dancing. I won't be able to go on any sleepovers though.... :(
My backs really,really itcy......
I am rather unlucky though because 1 in 5 people get shingles in their life, and normally people over 50 catch it. Argh!!!!
The nurses kept commenting on how pale I looked.....
