Sick, Sick, Sick

I’ve been sick for the last week.  I hate it.  I don’t know what it was before, though I’m inclined to say it was a sinus infection, but it’s now bronchitis, so that’s fun.  I don’t remember ever having bronchitis, and I’d like to think that if I’d ever had, I’d remember it vividly, because it sucks something awful.  

So, I’ve been in bed for most of the week.  I slept through a few days of it though.  Then we had a basketball game last weekend.  I wasn’t going to go, but I felt the team needed me, so I went and played.  I’m pretty certain it made my condition worse, but I don’t blame anyone.  I’m glad I got to get out of the house and do something.  Then we had practice Monday and since I was feeling better, I went to that.  Other than that, I’ve been on the couch all week.  

Since I’ve had next to nothing to do, I’ve been working more on my friend’s baby shower.  It’s weird planning a shower for someone who barely talks to me.  But, she deserves a shower, and who am I to deny her that.  Plus, I do catch her off guard sometimes and she says something, so that’s progress at least.  I just wonder how long it’s going to be like this.  Anyways, back to the shower.  I’ve been putting a lot of time and money into it, and I’m really hoping that it turns out well.  I had already bought a lot of stuff for it before our falling-out, like the invitations and some of the decorations, so at least all of that was already done.  Now it’s on to the actual planning and the smaller details.  I’ve got several plans and tons of ideas to make it special, so I’m hoping that it all pulls together to make a great shower.  I pretty much stay on the internet all day looking for more ideas and ways to make everything happen.  It’s an advantage to being sick and laying on the couch all day long.  

John has avoided catching my sickness and I’m glad for that.  I’m not contagious, but to be in such close proximity for so long is still scary.  I wouldn’t wish this crap on anyone really.  It sucks.  It really sucks for John because I haven’t cooked dinner in a week.  He cooked some soup for a couple of days and then after that it’s been little knick knacks here and there.  Speaking of which, I’ve lost a lot of weight being sick, too.  At least it’s a jumpstart for when I feel better… I can get back to exercising and everything, maintain my weight and even lose more.  See… there’s one good thing about being sick.  But that’s it.  Okay, back to resting.
