What day is it?


So I know that it all started Thursday.....
(Disclaimer: This is a doozie.. so you might need to run and check on the kids before you start.. and for all you UOP people, aux out in 3...It's gonna take a while.. :)
The day was going fine.. I had felt a little sick that morning but decided to brave through it with some Emergen-C and Airborne.. I ran out of that at about 11...I started getting a huge pain in my head and freezing cold from head to toe.. nothing could get me warm enough... I had layers on and a blanket.. still, freezing.. We had a team meeting that I barely made it through without passing out. When I got back to my desk I laid my head down on my desk and was in so much pain I started to cry..The touch of air to my skin hurt the worst.. All the while I was trying not to let anyone see the tears dripping from my face... So the time came to go home, when we got in the car I was letting it out and wrenching in pain, my muscles tensing from the cold.. we finally made it home, I ran to my room and changed into warm clothes and fell asleep... I woke up and had mashed potatoes at one point.. then threw them up a little bit later.. fun!! After that I was out for a long time... I woke up and suddenly had this craving for 7-up and found myself in my parents bed..and no one was home.. I don't remember how I got to their bed.. but it was very nice... I was still in pain.. it felt like I was hit by a truck.. And my head... oh my.. It was so heavy and pounded like someone was playing the drums on it.. People text me throughout the day and Krissa brought me some 7-up after work!! Not only that though, a really cute little toy puppy and some soup!! I am thankful for her service she did for me that day.. I had no idea what time it was or what it looked like outside..Finally my mom came home and made me a bath that helped a lot.. I had made her sick too, so that was sweet to take care of me while she was not too great herself.. Fell asleep again and had to wake up early on Saturday for an appointment for my house (that's the only reason I knew it was Saturday.. I kept thinking it was Friday)
So at the design studio.. we picked out all of the fun stuff for my condo.. It would have been a lot more fun if I wasn't still groggy and foggy... We picked out cupboards, flooring, lighting, carpet, doors, handles, faucets, toilets, tubs, counter tops... It's a lot... The guy that helped us out, Jeremy, was very nice.. (and smelled really nice too) and he seemed to have a sense of humor! It turned out to be fun, I just wish I would have been more alive...
Then Sunday.. I was very emotional.. bore my testimony (which I haven't done in a long time) I just remember getting up and walking up to the front, not knowing what I was going to say.. but knowing at the same time. And I felt the spirit the whole day.. I love going to church, it seems to make everything feel better. (Then later the Cardinals didn't win.. :( it's okay boys!)
See, told you it was kinda worth it...

Right before the illness set in..
