Little Miss Sickie

So, I started this post a couple days ago with the intention of actually finishing it. But I didn't. Instead, I went to bed early because I've been sick. Last week, I was so violently sick, I had to stay in bed for 2 days. Two HORRIBLE days of chills, a fever and nausea. Thankfully I didn't vomit. I hate doing it. Anyway, whatever I had turned into an equally horrible cold. From Thursday through Saturday, I was out for the count. Sunday, I had to go back to work since I had already missed my shift on Friday. Thankfully I had a short shift because the thought of having to work a full shift made me even more tired than I already was. Monday, I went home early when my voice decided to take a hike. After lots of water and Gatorade and rest, I'm happy to report that I am on the mend.

To say that I've been resting a lot would be an understatement. I literally have been sleeping and laying in bed as much as I can. Today, I woke up around 10 AM but stayed in bed till about 1 o'clock this afternoon. It felt great to rest, but I felt bad for not being productive. I didn't do much of anything anyway. I made a roast in the slow cooker, ate popsicles, took a shower, and managed to somehow delete all the music and videos off of my iPod. I'm still fuming about that. Ugh...I guess that just gives me more reason to go home for a visit and steal music off my sister's iTunes. Going home would definitely make me happy. I need a little vacation, but I also need the money...

*sigh*

A round trip ticket would be less than 300 bucks. So, in theory, I should be able to fly home for a couple days and still have some money to my name. Still. I need the money.

Dear Money Fairy, please give me some dough to go home. K? Thanks.

Hooray!

I've lost 9.2 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm excited! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss per se, but it does have the word reduce on it and I took the picture, so I'm putting it up. :-]

Sleepiness becomes me

*sigh* I miss the ocean. Not really the Atlantic Ocean, although I have to say that the East Coast has some beautiful beaches. But the Pacific Ocean will always be home to me. I miss it. I miss the hot sand, the coconut scented sunscreen and tanning oil, the salty sea air, the random volleyball games, the hot surfer boys. I miss it all. Its my favorite place where you can watch the sunset while looking out over the water. Its amazing! Sure, it gets hot, but really? When you're there at the beach looking at the water, taking it all in, it doesn't really matter how hot it is. I've always loved the water. It has a calming effect over me like lavender oil in a steamy bath. I wish I could just be a beach bum for the rest of my life. I'd take photos and sell them to support my needs. Kind of like what Thoreau did at Walden Pond. I really only need the simple things in life and the beach and ocean. I could get along without my phone and definitely without my alarm clock. Just ...

Hooray for Holi!

My friend Kim and I will be going to celebrate Holi with our fellow Hindus today. I'm not sure if half the people going today actually know what Holi is except for the fact that it is fun. Go to this link and learn about Holi! *Pictures will be forthcoming!* **ETA: So, there was a HUGE accident on the freeway on the way to Spanish Fork yesterday and being the impatient driver that I am, decided to go around the accident. We went through Springville and Mapleton to avoid the accident. Well, not knowing what exit we were at, we weren't sure where we were and completely missed the festival. I was a little bummed. Well, a lot bummed. Kim and I went up the Spanish Fork Canyon instead to a town that was flooded years ago. Hopefully Kim won't hate me forever for missing the festival...
