I'm writing the next paper for my writing class. It is a writing class so i won't complain about having to write so many papers. It's just part of the experience i suppose.
I'm having a hard time getting started with this one though. I don't have a problem writing but i just can't remember exactly what I'm supposed to do with this paper and the guidelines are not helping much. We started talking about this paper a month ago. Then it got put to the side so that we could do our big research paper. Our research paper is due tonight (I got it done, no worries) and this paper is due next week. It shouldn't be hard to do but i just can't remember what we're supposed to do. It's kind of frustrating. I think that the grad student who is teaching this class should have thought twice about starting a paper a month before it's due and then brushing it to the side to write another paper. Not the smartest idea. Oh well. I'll just put something down on the paper. After all, i just have to pass the class to graduate and I'm sure that by doing the work i can pass. Just wanted to put a little venting down on the blog. Good times.

Addiction is no pretty thing...
I have a problem. I'm addicted to TV.
I realized this last night when The Biggest Loser got bumped for the presidential address. I was upset. Really upset. I was talking to the president on TV and everything. Telling him he's losing my approval because he bumped my show. David can attest that it was a pathetic moment.
So i decided that a change needs to be made. I don't think it's healthy to have a show nearly every night of the week. I have 3 shows that i watch weekly: Heroes, Lost and The Biggest Loser. I don't even like Heroes and Lost anymore. I'm completely disillusioned with them but i still watch them. It's a problem.
It's not usually this bad. I think that both David and I being sick and not being able to do anything other than watch TV has contributed to this breakdown. Usually we are much more active people. However, i still want a change. I need some other hobbies than watching TV. It's just not healthy.
Acknowledging the problem is the first step to recovery, right?

Spring?
The weather is beautiful here today! It's 59 degrees and sunny! Wonderful! Heavenly!
I walked home today to watch devotional with David. He's still sick :( The walk was great! I love when i can start feeling the sun again in the spring it's a great feeling!!! Sadly, i know this weather will not last for good yet but at least it's a nice glimpse!
The devotional, well actually it was a forum, was really good today. It was by Author Brooks and he talked about charitable giving and how when we give it makes us happier and less stressed and as a result more productive and prosperous. It was just cool to get his perspective on it. He's done studies and that's what it shows.
So if you want to be happier, healthier, and richer give! Give time. Give money. Give blood. Give something!

Update
I'm all better. I'm still on the antibiotics until Wednesday but I'm back to normal now. It's nice to be healthy. Sadly i have gotten both my roommate and David sick. Luckily they aren't as sick as i was, just annoying colds.
I had a dentist appointment today. 0 cavities!!! Yay!!! It rarely happens that i have no cavities so I'm celebrating this! I'm getting new retainers made before the wedding because mine are old and disgusting and i would be embarrassed for David to see them haha. So that will be nice.
I also have to go see a specialist about a skin graft for a problem area of my gums. Hate have receding gums!
Other than that things are just moving along. Life is good.

All bitter no sweet!!!
That's right, this was the worst weekend ever!!! Let me break it down for you...
Friday night: stayed at home and watched dumb chick flicks with David. He made me dinner and i wasn't too sick yet.
Saturday AKA Valentines day: Didn't do anything we planned to do. The cold i thought i was getting was actually the flu. So i took gross Theraflu and stayed at home trying to keep my fever down and dealing with the aches and pains and shakes that come with the flu. We had frozen pizza for dinner, it was good.
Sunday AKA the bottom: I got up and got ready for church but then i started feeling really gross right before so i stayed home. I took some more theraflu and drank 7-up and ate some saltine crackers. Then after David got back that's when things started going downhill fast. I lost everything i ate/drank that morning and from that point on couldn't keep anything down, not even water. Horrible!!! Along with that my fever just kept rising. The highest it got was 103.3, pretty high. I couldn't take any meds because i couldn't keep it down so i try to get my fever down with wet wash cloths and a cool shower. Didn't work. So eventually we decided to go into the ER so that i could get an IV and get my fever down. I didn't think it was anything other than the flu so i kind of felt like a pansy going to the ER but it turned out to be a good thing. After waiting 2 hours to see the doctor i went back and got an IV started and got some anti-nausea meds and Tylenol and Advil. I also had an x-ray of my lungs taken to make sure there wasn't anything else wrong. Turns out there is something wrong. I have pneumonia! At least i wasn't a pansy for going into the ER! The IV helped a lot and i got hooked up with a bunch of drugs, an anti-nausea, Tylenol 3, and the antibiotic for the pneumonia. We got home around midnight and went to bed.
Today: it's been good. I've been taking my meds and two of them make me tired so I've been sleeping all day. It has been wonderful! I feel a million times better than i did yesterday! My fever is completely gone. I'm actually at 96 something now. The pressure in my head is gone and i can keep food down again! Modern medicine is amazing!!! 100 years ago i would have died from this but I'm fine now! Spectacular!!!
Tomorrow: I'm staying home from work and resting some more. I'll probably sleep most of the day because of the meds again. Hopefully I'll be good enough to head back to work on Wednesday but we'll see. If not i have the sick time.
PS Even though this weekend sucked so much David was great! He took care of me the whole time and watched dumb chick flicks! So romantic!
PPS I don't understand bulimia! How could anyone want to throw up even if there is a motive for it. totally not worth it! It's so painful and then you get a sore throat afterward because of all the acid not cool! I never want to throw up again ever!!! If i get sick when I'm pregnant I'm not risking it again. We'll adopt after that. haha! We'll see.
