What a week.

This has been a strange week.  It was supposed to be a 3-party week, and it ended up being a no-party week.  I'm a little bummed in that respect.  Let's go back.

So I started the week on Sunday (that's typically how it goes).  Sunday morning I woke up in Louisville at Charity's apartment and got myself ready to leave very quietly as everyone else was still asleep.  I peeled out of the L around 7:30am in order to make it to Evansville at 8:30 (central time).  My drive was OK, until I missed my exit and had to take the next one.  It wasn't horrible tho.  When I got to church, it was Graduation Breakfast time.  Nom nom nom...

After church was over, I went back to my parents' house, applied for a student loan, potted some plants, had my dad vacuum out my car and change my front brakes, and then left for Bloomington.  That night, I had the worst sleep of my life.  I was woken up several times that night by excruciating pain in my back, neck, shoulder and arm.  I've had plenty of back and joint pain throughout my life, but I've never woken up in the middle of the night because of it.  Especially not multiple times.  Finally around 2:30am, I just couldn't take it anymore.  I got out of bed, nearly crying, rummaged through my medicine drawer and found some Advil PM tablets that came as a bonus one time when I bought real Advil.  I read the box.  Sounded perfect, so I took two and drifted back to sleep.

After a full night's sleep, I woke up,still in pain.  I don't really remember what I did on Monday...  I didn't have to work, I didn't clean my apartment, I didn't look at any of the music for this summer, and I didn't go to the Monday Night Live MK meeting.  Oh yeah.  I got my Mary Kay shipment, packaged up everyone's stuff, went to the bank, the post office, and the party store.  Then it stormed.

I was feeling pretty weak and awkward on Tuesday.  Took my temperature and found that I had a small fever.  That explained all my back pain and my chills and weakness.  I was supposed to have a Mary Kay party at my house on Tuesday, but only 3 people RSVP'd - 2 of which had to leave early, and 1 of which was a maybe.  I canceled that party because I wasn't feeling well, and I knew if would have been unsuccessful.  My Thursday party canceled last week, and my Saturday party canceled on Sunday.  Aside from the fact that I get paid by TCC on Friday, this was a no-money week for me.

Yesterday was a mess.  Have you heard about all the storms in Central Indiana?!  Yeah, that was my life yesterday.  I slept in my closet on the floor listening to my boyfriend and two of his coworkers on the radio tracking the storms, tornadoes, and damages.  At 3:50 this morning I decided that since it wasn't raining, and the IU Alert system texted me an All Clear, it was OK to sleep the rest of the night in my bed.

Today I feel OK.  I didn't have a fever last night, but I didn't check it today.  I feel ok, except now I have this sore spot in my throat.  Also I forgot to mention the ugly poison ivy that I have on my arm.  Why am I falling apart?! lol

Here's hoping for a good weekend and an even better next week.

Things that must happen: Copy music, learn music, memorize music; book parties and call contacts; clean my bedroom.  Somebody please hold me to this.
