Enough already

This junk I have, as diagnosed by the doctor yesterday, is wearing on me. I am incredibly tired and wish to do little but sleep. Thankfully little was required of me this past week as far as projects or the like. The majority of my shopping for Justin is done with Jessica picking up one last thing for me yesterday when she was out. Nice! Last night he called me to see how I was feeling and we mutually decided to delay our CHRISTmas present exchange until after I return in January, which works for me. Not sure I would have been able to do the wrapping and such to make things ready. This also means he will not stay the night here tonight but will come for me in the morning, load my suitcase and take me to church.

Right now, that whole idea is daunting to me....traveling, that is. A few moments ago I looked at airfares leaving on later dates and they are decent enough if I decide to change my plans. Otherwise, once I get to WI, I will simply sleep the days away and not be any fun at all for my family and friends. What to do? What to do? I just wish I knew what to do to help me feel stronger again. Last night Justin quizzed me about fruit juice and such, and I told him that I had some V8 Fusion and some old apple juice in the fridge. At his urging I drank the rest of the Fusion and will have some apple juice in a bit. I have been drinking water as much as possible when I am awake to keep things flowing, and have been successful with the flowing part...if you know what I mean!

Now you know I'm sick----I am watching a wonky Christmas movie on TV as I write this. Not normally a viewer of such fare, there is just simply nothing else to watch from my sick bed, at least, not until 6:00 pm tonight when the "House" marathon begins. Facebook is alive with reports of others suffering with this same malady or similar, including Anne H. from Victory. Oh, I hate leaving Rachel in the lurch for tomorrow, not being able to sing in the Advent Song Service. At least, I am guessing not, but that is just less than 24 away. I could feel better in a snap, right? I had one and a half slices of toast with peanut butter on it for breakfast, thinking that would build me up...just couldn't finish the last bit of it. The most I have eaten was a McDonald's hamburger purchased on the way home after the doctor's appointment. It went down nicely and easily which might be the way to go, but I sure don't want to go anywhere.

My original plan was to take the Christmas bags over to church for the ladies to assemble on Sunday. I have reconsidered that and will take it with me to Victory and do a hand-off there to Carol or someone else who will be part of the decorating etal. I wonder who is in charge of the chili supper, I have not heard a word about it since I wrote it in the newsletter. Tomorrow is a full day between the churches, the Advent Song Service at Victory, a congregational/voter's meeting at GS, and then the decorating/caroling/chili supper. Man, I hope someone is taking care of things....We have no Fellowship Elder so things happen by guess and by gosh sometimes. I do hope the folks who are at Victory from GS will make sure they get back over there for the meeting as important matters are being discussed and voted upon.

I will ask Justin to take Timmy's little evergreen tree to the cemetery for me and that way, I won't have to go outside at all today. I hate not getting over there myself (gulp!) but in this situation, it will have to do. I am ready to lie down again...now, where's that heat pad?
