So last night I had a 103 degree fever. It was so random and weird. My whole body was crazy tired....my head was pounding, and my cheeks were really hot. So I pretty much freaked out and started crying about everything I've been stressing about lately. (leaving my dog, family, friends, being sick, the possibility of missing my last Mass and going out to brunch with my mom today, etc). I was going off the deep end. lol Probably crying for like an hour straight. But I just wouldn't believe I was so sick and only had 4 days left in CT. I did not want to spend them sick in bed. So my mom told me to pray that I'd get better. This morning I woke up all sweaty and disgusting, but that was actually a good thing cuz I meant that the fever broke. It was down to 99.0, which is usually what my normal body temp. is anyway. I was so happy. So I got to go to 8:00 Mass and see Fr. Pawel and Deacon Fenton. After Peace, my mom started crying and I did a tiny bit too. Ugh. I hate goodbyes.
Oh yea, by the way...last night before I got sick I had gone to Caitlin's house to watch a movie as kind of our last thing to do before college. But when she dropped me off & hugged me, she started crying real bad, and ugh. It's tough.
But today was great. We went to Mass, brunch at Ethan Allen, Stew Leonard's to do the catering thing for my mom's job, went to her job for a little bit, and went to the beach. At the beach I had to be a little less fun cuz I don't want to get sick again. But I did play a little with Andrew, Tom, Kristin, and Mike.
My family is having a goodbye pizza party for me. I'm glad, cuz I was a little worried about not getting to say bye to everyone...but it's gonna be insanely sad. Saying goodbye to all of my aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins? That's A LOT of people.
