My Turn

Until last Friday I had been lucky enough to elude the ever so nasty bug that has been making it’s rounds for months now, viciously take down anyone in its path. I have done everything possible to avoid getting it myself, from popping Airborne, to staying away from all people who could potentially have the bug. Friday, however, there would be no more running or hiding- it all caught up with me. From the moment I woke up, I knew that something was a little off. Most mornings when I wake to tackle another tough workout at bootcamp, I always think to myself, “I should stay in bed!” But on Friday, I am glad I listened to myself, because it was game over. My stomach decided not to be a stomach and revolt against itself- then my body temperature decided to change repeatedly from hot to cold. I became so uncomfortable in my own skin that I wished I could literally crawl right out of it. Because I felt so weak, all I could do was lay in bed and try to catch some zzzz’s. I didn’t know if this was going to last 24 hours or 2 weeks- but I had many people praying for me, and honestly I believe the Lord brought a quick recovery from the severe symptoms.

I thought I was feeling better by Saturday morning, so I went about my day as if I was never sick. Unfortunately, by days end, I was feeling crummy once again. It is currently Sunday night, and I have spent all day in my pj’s with an incessant pound in my head and ache in my stomach. Now, don’t get me wrong I love spending days in my pj’s, watching movies, but it can get old quickly, when you are sick. All I know, is that it is time to get better, because I have a two day road-trip to San Diego with my friend Allyson comin up on Tuesday. I will hope for the best!


On a lighter note….I got a fun new hair cut last week! For about the last year and a half, I have been growing my hair long. It grew to the middle of my back, and most days I enjoyed life with long locks. However, I was ready for a change! With Spring only three days away, I knew it was time to go short again- which used to be the norm for me. I love the new hair cut, and it is so easy to do!
