Random Update
So yesterday I woke up with a bit of a cold. Mike asked me if I wanted to go to the mall with him and help him pick out a white dress shirt, since he doesn't have one. I was a little leary cuz I had lots of work to do, but I went anyways. I decided while we were there that I'd check out the stores for a Homecoming dress, since I've worn my white one a lot and wanted something different. Not like, a really fancy expensive ball gown, but something you can dance in. I had no luck whatsoever, and Mike took a really long time picking out a shirt. So it wasn't til 3 hours later we got home, and 3 hours of shopping usually makes me cranky.
So I went home to try and learn IDL so I'd have some experience with it before getting together with Kelly and Tamara on Sunday. But as soon as I sat down, I felt exhausted and I fell asleep for two hours. So now it's even later, I still haven't learned IDL, and Mike wants to take me out to eat since we didn't do anything for V-Day. But I can't move. My muscles feel non-existent and my bones ache. So I lay there til Mike comes over and basically all hope of learning IDL is gone. I finally find the strength to get up, but then Mike still wants to go out to eat. And I'm like, well I told Betsy I'd be at her place at 8. So we plan to leave at 6:30, but then he surprises me and shows up all dressed up in the white shirt and tie and I was like, "You have to warn me if I have to dress up!" So I changed out of my jeans into my black skirt and off we went. But when we got to Olive Garden, there was a 35 min wait. So we figure we'll be late to Betsy's, and once we're inside I gave Jenni a call to let her know.
I had shrimp and crab ravioli--yum--and we had breadsticks and salad before hand. So by the time we get to Betsy's, it's about 9:15. But they hadn't really started yet, and Rob and Jorge hadn't arrived yet anyways. So then I didn't feel too bad. We talked about all sorts of stuff, regarding relationships, the talk Matt Kelly gave the night before regarding the 7 levels of intimacy, and how Captivating describes the fallen woman.
All this time I'm feeling more and more cold, and I'm wrapped up in a blanket. And I start feeling dizzy again, and sorta outside of myself. But there was never an opportune time to leave! It was all so interesting. But when I finally spoke up and Jorge heard my voice he was like, "Are you okay?" And I decided that was the perfect time to say, "I'm feeling kinda feverish, so I think we'll go home now."
So when we get home, I'm kinda loopy and Josh goes to get me Rachelle's thermometer. Then I found out I had a fever of 103 degrees F. Which is pretty high I guess. So I took some Nyquil and went to bed, and kept waking up in the night for whatever reason. But I still got up at went to my softball game...my fever was down to like, 102.4 when I got up and after taking Dayquil and went down to 101. something. So I went and felt wonderful during the game, the cool breeze was really nice since I had been feeling so hot. And when I got back, my fever was down to a 99.8! So softball helped! But then after my hot shower it was up to 102.4 again. So now I have to decide what I'm going to do about meeting up with Kelly and Tamara at 6. I guess I'll take my temp again closer to the time, and then let Kelly know and let her decide. Cuz I could go, but I'd feel absolutely awful if I got them sick. (I'm already afraid of getting everyone at Betsy's sick.) So that's where I am now--Ima go get my laundry and then try to learn IDL again.
Oh, and btw, SOFTBALL update: Infrared Sox beat Gamma Phi Beta, so we are now 2-0-0. Yay! I adore softball...the hardest thing is trying to get everyone playing time when there's usually only time enough for 3 innings. Boo on that. But I love my team!
