| Ok, ok, I know…I’ve been lazy with writing again. But hey, it was only like two weeks this time! Except…I really don’t have a good excuse this time, because for the past week, I was sick and at home, and therefore had all the time in the world to sit down and write a good post, but instead I spent all that time complaining about my poor little health on Facebook. :P
Soooo anyways, I learned some things this past week that I thought I’d share :D (Everyone jumps up and down with joy!)
1. Don’t go to parties while you have a major cold, because you won’t want to leave the happy scene to go blow your nose, and so you’ll…well, you get the picture. :P I got a horrible sinus infection as a result of my…sniffing, lol. So basically, the whole week that I was stuck at home sick was my fault…
2. Once you get your sinus infection, make sure you don’t get it at the same time your sister gets strep throat and your other two sisters leave for a trip. Because the strep throat sister will end up living happily in her room, with absolutely no chores, and you (poor, sick, sniffing, red-nosed, miserable you) will end up doing all the work. I tried to tell my mom I could infect my baby brother by changing his diaper, but I must not have been convincing enough…
Sooo yeah, it wasn’t a fun week. I struggled a bit with feeling sorry for myself as I had to stay at home all week. But it probably was good for me not to be so busy, and it was awfully nice to have an excuse not to practice piano and violin to relax. :-)
I still have a cold and am really tired, but I’m better. Better enough to go to music lessons anyways, which I’m not sure is a blessing or not is great. :D I also drove to music this morning, which was definitely great! I’m not so sure my dad thought so though, because being that I hadn’t driven anywhere in over a week, my skills…needed some practice. :P
Some of you have asked how my mission trip preparations are coming. I applied for my passport and should be getting it in the mail sometime soon. :-) I also got most of my immunizations, which for some crazy reason, made the whole trip seem much more real to me, haha.
I guess it’s just I’ve been thinking and mentally planning for this trip forever, and when I actually start physically getting ready, it made it come alive for me? I don’t know, but I’m probably the only person in the world who liked that I got stuck with a needle, lol. |
