Pulling a Sickie

I've been off sick from school for the last three days, I've been actually sick for two of them well I am rather sick today but not normally enough to pull a sickie. I still feel pretty rough though. Today was horrible; I woke up, watched television for about half an hour after which I played on the Xbox (mum said only for 30 minutes) when two hours later my shocked mother told me off for being on so long which (I think) is unfair as when you are playing Xbox you're going to be checking the time every ten minutes am I? So it was about eleven-ish when I finished. Mum said that I was not allowed to go on a 'screen' for the rest of the day (I writing this in my room). I was in such a strop that I didn't paint or read or anything like that and the whole day went by faster and faster and I got more bored and bored and by then it was time for school to let out. When dad had finished working we went up the road to the music shop because we thought my guitar tuner had broken, the man there was very patronizing in telling us there was nothing wrong with it. After that we went to the comic book store where the musty atmosphere caused my cold to flair up again. But I did buy a book on what to do on rainy days for 50p so it wasn't all bad. I'm trying to swag another day off which hopefully won't be as boring (if I get the day off that is).
