sigh....
I have been venemently sick for the last day and a half. So yesterday, I didn't go to class, I got Georgia (the other night innkeeper) to work for me and I laid in bed all day. I can't remember the last time that I did that. Even on Saturdays, I am up by 7, reading, writing, cleaning, etc. Not that I am glad that I am sick, but I happy for the opportunity to slow down. I slept 11 hours last night and whereas I am still throwing up, my body at least no longer feels the exhaustion that it did. I woke up and felt refreshed for at least 3 minutes before I ran to the toilet to give away my dinner to the porcelain throne. My body hurts, but my mind is alive with thoughts and excitement. It's a weird dichotomy. Anyway, I just wanted to take this moment to praise God for my sickness. The only person driving me so hard is me and thank goodness God in His infinite wisdom saw the need for me to have the flu. So what if I fall behind a day or two? So what if I have to make up a day of work? It'll be okay in the end. Besides, self-care is so important (hanna hanna, get it? self care!). Can't serve God if your body is all torn up to pieces. Here is a currrent prayer list that peopel can be prayer about:
1. I am in the process of looking for a job that is accomodating to my school schedule but also pays as much as my current job.
2. School - School is important but it isn't life. Right?
3. Money - I worry too much about it.
David ha been so sweet while i have been sick. He came over and brought me food and gave me a foot massage. You know its true love when people are willing to touch your skanky feet.

"2. School - School is important but it isn't life. Right?"
Well, when you were at ETSU, school is life in some ways. Classes and organizations determine who you meet and who you hang out with. Things like job and church usually are in the nearby area of school. For those away from home for the first time, it is the time when you start to develop your own ideas as opposed to what you learned from your family. So maybe school isn't life, but it sure plays a big part on the direction your life takes.
Hope you feel better. Take vitamins!!!
