Oh what a week

So I guess a lot happened this week. I don't really remember Sunday, so I'm saying nothing happened. Monday though.....Monday I went to work like usual. Things were going pretty well in the morning, I was a little tired and my tummy ached a little but I figured eating would solve that problem. So at lunch I came home and made myself some soup. I went back to work and threw up...3 times. I didn't tell anyone till the 3rd time and of course they sent me home. I came back home and took a shower and went to bed. I couldnt fall asleep though. And I threw up a couple more times. After a couple hours of this I gave up on sleeping and went to watch Oprah's favorite things in the living room. I continued throwing up.....I didnt stop until like 7. I thought about going to the urgent care place down the street but I really didnt want to. I called my mom because that's what your suppose to do when your sick, right? Well my mom succeeded in frustrating me, so I decided just to hold out and hope I started feeling better. At like 9 I finally fell asleep(7 hours after originally trying to sleep) I woke up in the morning feeling fine at first....until I got up and I was incredibly weak. I couldnt decide if that was because I hadnt eaten at all the day before or if I was still sick. I waited until the very last minute to decide to go to work...in fact I was 15 minutes late for work. The whole day I told everyone I was fine while secretely hopeing I wouldnt throw up again. I made it through the day but I was really tired infact at lunch I came home and took a nap. Wednesday was better, I was still incredibly tired but I had no doubt that I was better. AND Chandra and her family stopped in Omaha for breakfast. Chandra said they'd get here around 7......she called at 5:45 to tell me she was just outside town. Geez.....I got ready in a hurry and met them at Cracker Barrel. Good times, I finally met Alice! That family cracks me up....especially when they are all half awake because they drove all night. I wish my family got along that well.....we'd be fighting thta early in the morning after spending all night in a van together.....

Thursday...Thanksgiving I slept all morning. I really needed the sleep. For Dinner I went to Michelle's grandma's house. I'm really glad Michelle is from Omaha. It's just the strange way my life works I guess. I'm not sure what I would have done without her and her family....it would have been a lonely holiday. We had so much food....so much food. Luckily my appetite was pretty much back so I ate enough to make everyone proud. After dinner, Olivia(Michelle brought her home from Ripon) and I went to play with Michelle's little cousins because we felt useless in the kitchen and we ended up watching most of Spiderman. While the little cousins jumped on us. I wish I wasnt the youngest cousin :( I like little kids. Later Michelle, Olivia and I went to see Bridget Jone's Diary. It wasnt an amazing movie, but it was funny and we all laughed and I needed laughter.

Today. Work was ok....it got pretty good when the guy in charge of my department came around and told my team to go home 3 hours earlier than we normally do. Yay. I decided to go shopping during my new found free time. I didnt find any presents though.....I need to become more decisive.

I just want to thank all of my friends. I really don't know where I'd be....I don't think I'd be sane....or as sane as I am without you guys. My move could have been horrible and lonely but you guys are there for me when I need to complain and even visit when you can. I don't think I could ask for anything more. I hope I can be for you as much as you are for me.
