Today has been a day off, a day of rest for me... Which isn't easy. I feel like there is so much to do and experience, but that I am "wasting" it by being sick. BUT, I think rest was definitely necessary for me.
I went to bed around 7 last night, and didn't get out of bed till 9:20 this morning. Over 14 hours?!!!? I don't know if I have ever done that before. I remember waking up a couple times during the night, once because I had fallen asleep with too many clothes on and was roasting (pretty sure I had a fever at that point)... and then again around 6:30 because I had to go to the bathroom. At my 6:30 wake up I thought that maybe I was feeling good enough to go into the hospital, but after being up just to walk to and from the bathroom I realized I definitely wasn't up for it. My tummy was NOT happy last night, and this morning it was still lingering.
After breaky (well - more like brunch really) I felt a little better in terms of having energy, but still felt a lil icky. So I made myself a cup of tea and crawled back into bed with my journal and bible. I spent the rest of the morning just resting in the quiet of my room - which really isn't that quiet, because the walls and floors here are super thin... So you can hear almost everything that is going on in the whole building. But that's ok. It was still very relaxing.
I've now had some lunch and am feeling a little more hopeful that I am actually on the mend. I have no plans for the rest of today except to walk up to RVA with Leslie to post this tiny update and possibly try to register for classes in the fall. I totally forgot that that was going to be happening while I was gone. Oops! Hopefully I can still get into all the classes I want. I am thinking I might try to take an art class (if it works with my schedule). That'll be a tough one for me. I know I can doodle words alright, but actually drawing things.... Hmmm. Haha. Should be interesting!
I'm already really looking forward to next weekend. I'll be house sitting for the Halestrap's and taking care of their dog while they are away. It will be quiet, I will have wifi, a washing machine, and a kitchen & bathroom that I don't have to share with 30 other people!!! Oh the little joys in life!
