Spring Break was a Bust

Well, I got the flu. I was in denial for days but grandma was right, I was really sick. I was fine until Wednesday night when I became suddenly ill. I finally started feeling better last night after eating a real meal. The constant chills went away and I even slept through the night. I feel pretty good today, except for a little lightheadedness. That didn't stop me from doing a million errands that had to be done today before I have to go back to school tomorrow.

Things that were accomplished on spring break:
1. Weeded the front yard.
2. Studied my EKG strips for my next test.
3. Visited my friend in Richmond (with the cutest little baby! and dog! and parrot!).
4. Completed 2 out of 3 interviews for my geriatric project.
5. Transitioning Turnip to previous diet after two months of chicken and rice hell
6. Became deathly ill (was NOT on my "to-do" list however)

Things that were supposed to be accomplished:
1. Weeding the backyard garden.
2. Buying and planting flowers and veggies.
3. Studying.
4. Starting my paper due next Wednesday.
5. Finishing Marissa's wedding present (almost done I swear!)
6. Make and freeze some food for the rest of the semester.
7. Getting some good sleep.
8. Go to the beach.

I guess the good thing is that I got my sickness out of the way for the next two months. I feel like I'm on the home stretch with the next month (until April 25th) probably being the hardest yet. I know I always say that, but there is so much to finish up before I start my preceptorship (I still don't know what unit I'll be working on).

Sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well. We were so lucky you were able to visit and hang out with us us before you got sick.

I guess when you are around sick people, you take the risk of getting sick - don't they have a class on how to stay healthy while working in the health field? They should if they don't.
Not much longer now, and all of your butt-busting will have its pay-off!
Hope Turnip is accepting her new old diet with a quiet stomache.
This note comes with Love and a hug from your ever-so-proud-of-you Auntie M.
