Entry the 'I'm trying NOT to get sick'.
Yes, you read that right.
I spent the weekend with some wonderful JAFF ladies in Gatlinburg, TN, in a cabin/condo that had a hot tub (cold when I went to use it), several huge TVs (and yes, 'Wives and Daughters' is fantastic) and a home theater, which only worked half the time we were there, but was still really awesome when it did.
This has revived my interest in writing. I am happy about that. I made some new friends, and I am happy about that. I have a bigger support group of people around me, and I am happy about that.
Unfortunately, I also didn't sleep very much, and with some oncoming monthly complaints, I am now run down and experiencing croupy-sick symptoms. I asked my ride if we couldn't drive home tonight instead of staying atour friend's house in Indiana, but she was having some major back pain and couldn't handle the car ride, so I will go home tomorrow. Either way, I am croupy, and tonight I will sleep on an air mattress with NyQuil to keep me company. I hope it works. Sometimes, one night's sleep will kick this in the head. I'm also starting to have funny-tasting filtered water, which means that water is not going to be my friend, and I'll have to drink soda to help myself recover. I hate soda, and can only drink it when I'm sick. This is NOT good.
I doubt I'm contagious, I never am when it's a croupy thing from being run-down, but if I AM, I hope Angie and her family and Manda don't become sick. I would feel terrible if they did.
