Feeling Better

Well, I do have to say I’m feeling better. Not quite 100%, but definitely better than yesterday. If this cold will just hold off for one more day, it can take hold as much as it likes. I would prefer not, but if I have to be sick, then Saturday is the day is choose. The only thing I have planned for this weekend is rest and relaxation. Well, and ordering some fire wood. It’s very cold now and I want to stock up on firewood in case the power goes out at all.

Anyways, I didn’t get anything written yesterday. I was just so worn out and run down all day. My throat had started hurting on Tuesday and I kept my neck wrapped up in a scarf and used vicks all day, but that didn’t really help much. So yesterday I woke up with another site throat, a headache and my body feeling off. I used lozenges and vicks and my scarf, but by the end of the day I was just plain exhausted. My friend, Katie, and I were supposed to go to dinner before institute, but she told me to go home and rest, so I did. I napped for an hour and a half before institute and that helped quite a bit. After class, my institute teacher gave me a blessing and then I ran to Walmart to get some vicks vaposteam for my humidifier.

This morning, I slept in until about 6ish, which is what time I usually try to get to work. I think the combination of all three helped a lot. My throat only hurts a little bit right now, my head feels mostly better and I’m only a teensy bit achy.

Gosh, yesterday I could hardly think straight because my head felt so muddled and heavy. I was doing things twice and forgetting to do things. It was a mess. I’m so thankful that my head feels better today.

Tonight, all I have is an RS new sister meeting at 6:30, so after that I will probably just go to bed. I’m debating taking a nap beforehand, but I may pass so that I don’t wake up late.

As for writing, I’m sad I didn’t get anything accomplished yesterday. I kept trying to think of things, but my brain was so foggy I was having a hard time just working, so thinking about my story was too much yesterday. Today, I’m trying to remain focused so that I don’t fall even further behind in my work, so my mind won’t really be able to wander today. But we’ll see how the afternoon goes.
