It's November?

I'm trying hard to break a pattern that seems to have crept up in October, it seems every week I am sick with something new! I'm so tired of being sick, taking pills, eye drops, seeing the doctor! Today I woke up and my left eye was swollen, red and full of drainage. As a nurse I immediately new I had pink eye and would have to go in so I could get a prescription for eye drops. Unfortunately for me this means no wearing contacts or eye makeup for a week! Oh boy, I know I can do, but honestly I wasn't too happy about it! Last week I had a 24 hour stomach bug, don't worry I will spare you the details on that one! Before that I had a nasty cold that lasted two and a half weeks! I got a flu shot today so hopefully I can stop the madness!

On the brighter side of life: I am going to see my sister tomorrow, I don't remember the last time we actually saw each other ... maybe August? She lives a little over an hour away and we are both so terribly busy all the time! I am also looking forward to coloring some pictures tonight with my best friend ... Yes I do enjoy coloring especially when the pictures are for a friend who has been having a tough time lately, I hope the will cheer her up!

Getting away!

I'm so excited tomorrow is Friday!! This week has been tough, I got really sick on Tuesday and am still recovering. It was 80 degrees out and I had on two shirts, a sweatshirt and was wrapped up in tons of blankets and was still freezing!!! I had to skip my small group that night because I couldn't even get out of bed. Yesterday was a little better, I didn't go to work but I was able to go to my bible study that night and today I went to work and to CRU.

I'm so excited that I have this weekend off and I am going on a fall retreat with CRU (campus crusade for Christ). It is going to be so nice to get away from everything and have a time with friends I haven't had a chance to see in a while and worship God and hear from some amazing speakers!

Defeated

I thought I was invincible I thought I could make it this winter season with out getting sick .... I was so close and than it hit me! I am sick, I went home early from work yesterday because it was just so miserable. I have the weekend to get better before another long work week. I hate being sick, all you want to do is sleep, sleep and more sleep. My roommates all took turns being sick and it lasted for about two weeks for each of them, I thought I had escaped it .... I guess not ..... So here is hoping to quick recovery!
