Update and Yays/Boos
Well, after several phenominal days of feeling great and being good (I took all my meds and ate right and everything!), I'm sick again. Boo being sick. Maybe I pushed too hard and did too much this week (perhaps); maybe because I ate a high fat dairy dessert last night (the most likely culprit. Guess I got a bit overconfident after having such a good week.); maybe just because my body is crazy and likes to be sick periodically; maybe a combination of all three. Anyways, whatever the cause, Lissa is sick today. Boo being sick.
However, this means I actually can update. Think I'm gonna do a modified yay/boo thing.
Boo! I officially withdrew from school and moved out of the dorms two weeks ago, however, instead of this being a upsetting as I expected, it turned into a
Yay! The time I learned I had to leave Samford coincided perfectly with a room in the 'girls house' opening up, (The girls house is a house where several of the single women from Crossroads live.), so instead of having to move back home, I got to move in here. This whole situation could have been completely disheartening, but instead it's been turned into a
Super Amazing Yay! In addition to withdrawing from this semester, I'm gonna have to take next spring off too. However, instead of sitting at home moping, I'm still gonna be here. I'm planning on doing a lot of volunteering with Hope and maybe some other places too (in between all the fun doctor stuff I also get to do. Ick.)I also am really hoping on being able to do some major soul-searching and God-seeking as to what exactly He would have me do with my life. And it just happened to work out that I get to live here with some amazing Godly women. This was total God thing. Really, really cool how He works like that. I just pray that I will be brave enough to actually take advantage of all the opportunities.
Yay! Moving from a furnished dorm room into an unfurnished room in a house obviously necessitated my going home to get some things, so I decided to go via Nashville and spend last weekend with my siblings. I have so much fun each and everytime I go. It was Sarah's birthday, and we had a picture scavenger hunt IN COSTUME all over Nashville. I have not had that much fun or been that silly or laughed that hard in such a long time. Plus, long, wonderful, real discussions with siblings and good friends. Plus, randomly breaking out into 4-part harmony hymns. Then, got up really early to drive back home for
Yay! Edgemont's first contemporary worship service. Now, as most of you know, I really prefer a traditional worship service, however, I realize that lots of other people prefer to worship God in other ways. It's so awesome to watch how God is moving in our church right now. Makes me a little sad that I do get to be a part of it right now. Anyways, was an awesome service, and I got to see lots of people that I love. Unfortunately, after such a fun weekend with lots of skipping of sleep and meds and TPN, I crashed completely.
Boo! So was really sick and tired at the beginning of last week. Coincidentally, I also had evil doctor week last week too. On the same days that I was so sick. And now Lissa has no classes (i.e. in doctor speak that obviously means no responsibilities), so doctors are being very agressive with tests and such.
Boo! Blood tests and shots and poking and proding and heart monitors. However,
Yay! NEW MED THAT IS DOING WONDERS! Have been able to get up and function every single morning since I started it. I can think again. Even after taking the tummy meds that make me so groggy and miserable. Thus, Lissa has been very good and taken all her meds. Thus,
Super yay! Up until last night when I decided to push the dairy thing, I haven't gotten sick! Horray for meds actually all working together. Thus, I was able to spend this weekend playing.
Yay! Felt good, so room is clean! And (almost) everything has a place and it put away. And I have curtains. That I hung all by myself. That are really pretty. Now just have to get pictures up so it feels like a home and not just a room.
Yay! Shopping for pretty dresses with glassalabaster. I love her so much. She is amazing. Hanging out and having a good conversation with detachedharmony. I love talking with him. He says things in a way that makes my cluttered mind feel so much more organized.
Yay! Roadtrip to Huntsville, corn maze, Thai garden, cooking (cause I have a kitchen!!), seeing a play, talking, laughing, being happy. Excited, giddy, hopeful.
Which brings us back to now. So despite being sick, I'm doing extremely well. I'm excited about life and everything that is happening. Can't wait to see where God takes this.
