Freedom!

I am going down to Utah tomorrow for my cousin's wedding which will be a good event. It sounds bad but I'm more excited for the time off work. I get today off in which I get to just do whatever: change the oil in my car, go to lunch with my friend, get a haircut, go on a date, etc.

Let's hear it for not having to work for a few days! Granted, I will not like the next paycheck, but my mind will be able to do some recharging so it will be worth it. And I plan on working on the revision of my novel as well. (It is going superbly, by the way.)

Sick

Another reason to hate winter time: flu season.

Last week my house got hit with some sickness. My dad got it first and actually stayed home from work one day because of it. It was a cold/flu/nasty thing.

The next day my mom and I were hit. We both complained of feeling achy and tired. We took medicine and I had a couple of bad nights of feverish sleeping. I progressively got better and better, though, because I was determined not to let it get me down. That and I took lots of medicine to kick it.

My Dad is also nearly 100% better. And my Mom, on the other hand, has lost her voice because she strained it when she went to work on Monday. She's missed two days of work so far and probably won't be able to go back the rest of the week. We are hoping and praying that she will be better in time for the weekend because she and my sister were going to go to my cousin's baby shower in Utah. I hope they don't miss out on it because they were both looking forward to it and planning on going for a really long time.

I have been hoping to be 100% better (which it is looking likely that will happen) so that I can go to St. George this weekend for a baby blessing.

Keep us in your prayers!
