The Plague

When you belong to a church where the body loves eachother so much and spends so much time together..this can be both a blessing and a curse. A curse meaning that whenever someone gets a runny nose, everyone gets a runny nose, and whenever anyone gets the flu , it runs rapid around our building like the plague. Thats what happened this month. The flu went around like wild fire and i happened to be the recipients of this not so glorious flu bug.
whenever i get sick, i dont just get kind of sick....i end up feeling like i am going to die. I always seem to get hit the worse and this time was no different. It was a glorious monday morning, i spent the day with my roomate shopping for clothes and makeup, and then made a stop at Trader Joes (one of my fave places to be). we ended up grabbing some sushi rolls and had a picnic in my car before heading home.
a little while after returning home i started to feel funny but really thought nothing of it. I didnt feel neccessarily bad, i just felt a little off. but then around 6 i started to feel really nautious and even the thought of that sushi i ate a little earlier would send me to the bathroom wanting to vomit. it wasnt until around 10 till i actually did do that very thing. I coulnt hold the flood gates back any longer. and this is the thing with me...i never just throw up once. it always turns into 5, 10, 15, 20 times by the end of it. i knew that once i started that it was going to be a long night.
I called my mom to come bring over some medicine, but when she got there i just decided to tell her to take me to their house instead. theres something about being really sick that just makes it better to be at home. I think the fact that my mom is a nurse is super comforting and she has every medication in the book...so thats always a plus. i was happy i ended up staying the night there because it ended up being miserable. It was one of those flus where you almost forget what its like to feel normal..and you wonder if you are ever going to feel better again! kinda dramatic but thats how i felt haha.
But here i am on the other side of things....5 lbs lighter, with a little more bounce in my step. afterall i am finally able to eat more than ice chips and Ritz crackers, so life is pretty good. im currently sipping on my favorite thing in the world (coffee) and its tasting like a dream. I tried to drink some earlier in the week but i couldnt do it. i took one sip and was like nope this isnt happening (what the what?? who am i? ) . but today is wonderful and i am feeling great! lets hope all of this stays away.
we are currently building a new church building and i am thinking we need to burn the old one down or rip out every piece of carpet and re paint haha. that place has had so many infestations of... i dont even know what , and i think its about time it gets a little help.
I hope you are having a wonferful day friends, and if you happen to see someone who is sick...as much as you love them, just walk away....its not worth it haha even if you do end up loosing 5lbs out of the deal :)
