Ho Hum and all that… October 15, 2007

Hom hum is because I DON’T FEEL GOOD — STILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All that is for the rest…..

Allllllright, I’m updating. Not too much to update. Let’s see, Big Sandy was….hot. I can’t say it was fun because I was pretty much completely miserable the entire time. UGH. I slept a lot and kind of just sat around until it was time to go to bed again. I did get to sing with the ensemble there that Josh is part of. I couldn’t sing very well at the time (or still as a matter of fact) but it was fun being in a group again. Do you know that is one of the worst parts of this whole sick deal??? Singing, even a little, gets me completely out of breath and I just can’t really do it. *sniff-frown* I want to sing!!!!!!! Ok, done…

Josh was so busy that I didn’t get to spend much time with him either. The Prices were there and it had been far too long so we really enjoyed getting to catch up and spend time with them. Late night talks, teasing, popcorn, coffee and lots of laughs were the best part!!!!! No, we didn’t wake the whole dorm…almost, but not quite. And we only heard, “Girls!!!! Shhhh!!!” from Josh and Ryan every other word!!! *smile* There were a couple of nights that Josh got to hang out with us too. If you ever hear Josh or Alisa say, “Ooo, I have a joke!!!” Just do yourself a favor and run far away ok?? Trust me on this one!!!!!!!!!! I am convinced, even when they try really hard, they cannot tell a joke!!!!! *shaking head*

Savanna and I enjoyed going out to the lake very late at night to settle down on the dock for some awesome star gazing. Wow. So many stars, so bright and beautiful and then, it happened!!!! “Did you see that??” “No, what??” “I think it was a shooting star!!!” “No, really??” “Yeah…over there!!!” “Rats, I missed it!!!!!!” “Maybe there’ll be another one…” Maybe??? Yeah, I’ll say. We saw shooting star after shooting star. It was so amazing, I loved it. So there we were, watching them and being completely mesmerized by each…..I had a half scream/half squeal to go with each one too. I am so easily amused. *smile*

So, that was Big Sandy….it was good to get back home and fall into my own bed. I couldn’t stay there long though. *frown* I worked and taught everyday for the rest of the week and by the time Thursday night came I was feeling horrible. Coughing fits, couldn’t breathe, no strength whatsoever and pretty much felt totally and completely miserable. Much to the relief of several people I decided to call in sick Friday morning and skip work. So, I did, and spent the rest of the weekend in bed.

Friday night I went to Kristin’s for her birthday, got settled in a bed there with my fuzzy pillow and my inhaler and watched movies and slept. Happy Birthday dear!!!!!!!!!! *smile* So then I skipped church Sunday….again. There are so many bugs going around I didn’t want to chance getting any of them with my immune system so weak. I’ll be surprised if they remember me when I go back. Humph.

You know, I thought about this the other day. When I was first sick, I felt like an expectant Mother for the first time. “Oh no, no, don’t do that….in your condition!!!” Now though, it’s like on to the fourth child….”You know your limits dear….oh and while you’re up I’ll take another brownie….and can you do those dishes real quick??” Yeah, that’s about right. Heh heh. *smile*

I really will get well someday. Who was it, someone said I needed to go away for a month or two and just stay in bed and not come back til I was well….I think Jonelle said that yesterday…..or Megan…..maybe it was Beth. I don’t remember. Anyway, that’d be lonely. Sigh. Ahhh well. So today, here I sit in my bed with my iced tea….trying to get rested up before the week starts tomorrow morning…and truthfully, I feel rather bothersome. *frown*

Wellllllll, I think that’s just about all there is to update. Exciting stuff huh??? *smile* Oh, and just for a random, because I feel it should be stated, out of blue, changing the subject comment, I think it’s about time for the weather to cool down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 87 degrees on October 15th is RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Humph. Sigh…ahhhh well.

Oh and so much for “not much to update”. *smile* Have a beautiful Monday dears…..I think I’ll open my window so I can see the sky!!!!

Love and )))HUGS(((!!!!!!!!
