Today has been a hard day.  I didn't sleep well again, despite taking Ambien last night, so I've been quite uptight and stressed out.  My body aches and I have a dull headache that doesn't want to go away.  To top it off, I had a fever this afternoon.  That, of course, is really bad because my immune system is shot right now.  Mat has been on the phone with my doctor a couple of times today, asking about how much nausea medication to take so I can sleep (love Ativan!) and about the fever.  She called in an antibiotic that I can start taking.  Oh, the joys . . . .

Tonight was our ward temple night, but I just couldn't bring myself to go.  I knew that with a session full of people that love us, I'd bawl the entire time.  We went to dinner at Thyme and Seasons and got my comfort food, Chicken Curry.  I have to add a fair amount of salt and his red hot pepper sauce so I can taste it, but it is so good!  After that, I went to the gym with my sister Mel.  She is training for the same half marathon I am.  It is fun to see her get excited when she can go a little faster and a little farther!  I can't run right now, I just don't have the energy.  I've always sworn that I would follow through and do this half, I may have to walk the entire thing.  And maybe that's an optimistic assumption, that I could even walk that far?  I don't know.  In the meantime, I'm going to prepare for it as if it will happen.  I always feel better after I've been to the gym, it helps to make things seem as "normal" as possible.  Here's to a better day tomorrow!!!

I am amazed that you could do that at all--I am sorry to hear about your fever and please don't forget that we are still praying for you every day even if I can't get the net to work to get on the blog very often. We love you!
