Bleh...

So I've been sick all week and today is the worst by far. I think I started feeling badly last Saturday and it's just gotten worse every day rather than better. I can't breathe through my nose at all, I cough and sneeze all day, my voice is extremely nasally (not great for me since my main responsibility at work is answering phones), I'm exhausted, and my throat is beginning to get sore. We've had such a busy week, not a single night that we haven't had something planned and all I've wanted to do is curl up on my couch with a bowl of soup and an old Cary Grant movie and my cuddly blanket.... and I really want my Mom.

When you're little, at least being sick has the perks of staying home from school, being cared for by your Mom, eating soup and popsicles, and watching movies on the couch. But when you're all grown up and your Mom is 3,000 miles away and you can't call in sick because you've only worked at your new job for a few weeks, being sick really sucks!!!

A few weeks ago I signed up for a women's conference at my new church. I was really excited for it because I was hoping to finally meet some girls here and because Noel Piper will be speaking, but now that I'm sick I'm not looking forward to it quite as much. Going home tonight to my blanket, old movie, and soup sounds a heck of a lot better. Oh well, I'll make it through tonight and tomorrow and then spend tomorrow night on the couch with my soup. That thought makes me feel better already... now where am I going to get some soup if my mother isn't here??
