Hello readers,
Yesterday I did not come into work (or update my blog) due to being sick. Well, that is the short and simple story. Not only was I unable to come in because I was sick, but I was also sick in Spokane (280 miles away). Here is the full story:
This last weekend I decided I was going to visit my boyfriend at the bible camp he is working at this summer. The camp is about 1 hour and 30 minutes northeast of Spokane (so that is about a 6 hour drive from my house to him). So I left on friday and got to see him a have a jolly old time. But, in order to stay at the camp and earn food and a bed to sleep in, I had to work with him (he doesn’t get weekends off) so I slaved away, helping build a zip line, dig some dirt… etc. Some of these activities happened to take place in the late evening with cold wind and rain, and me in just a t-shirt and shorts. By sunday night (the night before I was planning on leaving) I was starting to feel lethargic and did something I had never done before: locked my keys in my car. I have had this car since I was 17 years old (21 now) and I have never once locked my keys in it. But now, the night before I need to leave when I am in the middle of nowhere, I do it. So I call USAA and tell them that I need some service but I will wait until tomorrow. What I didn’t know was that tomorrow meant 4 o’ clock in the afternoon to them. Oops. I tried driving to Spokane and got there around 7ish and felt like I was going to pass out. There was no way I was going to drive the next 5 hours feeling this sick and tired without crashing and killing me and/or someone else. So I bummed a couch off of my boyfriends mom and had to miss work. I am still feeling the grips of the sickness and it is not fun. It feels the same as when I had mono and I do not like it at all… except there is more sneezing involved in this one.
Here is to getting through the day and getting through traffic (1hr and 30min in traffic this morning). Kudos to all you workers out there, getting things done!
