Faith Like Potatoes and wasting a good Fall Break on the couch..

So the verdict is this: Apparently my sickness made me vulnerable to getting other sicknesses.. AND I woke up Thursday morning, after spending Wednesday evening in the ER, with the flu. Swine flu or man flu, I don't know, but it was the flu, and it hasn't been a fun week. Remember I was supposed to go to a conference Thursday afternoon, and return late-late Saturday night, but an arm band and hospital slip got me out of that one. Unfortunately, these aren't the circumstances in which I would have CHOSEN to spend my Fall Break.

My sister has been wonderful to me, and took amazing care of me Monday through Thursday, but finally Thursday night I decided that home would be best for me. So my mom, who is a nurse, picked me up and nurse me for 2 days before she brought me back to school this afternoon.

Between Thursday morning and this evening I watched:

You Me and Dupree

Horton Hears A Who

The Princess Diaries

The Princess Diaries 2

Faith Like Potatoes

13 Going on 30

The Break-Up

Shrek 2

aaand 2 specials on TV.

Movies -- it's what I like to do!

I just started getting up and moving around this afternoon. I was a little too overambitious with my own expectations, and after about an hour of attempting to clean the mess I had left with my roommate all week, I was exhausted and needing a short nap before dinner in the cafeteria - where I was hoping for some good chicken noodle soup, but was disappointed to find cream of mushroom. Yuck! Who eats that stuff anyways?

It is an exotic, heart-wrenching drama, and faith-building too.
