Easter Weekend

So as many people i'm sure are aware. this last weekend was easter weekend, which lead into the last week of classes. And on Friday guess who woke up sick? MANDY!!! i felt like crap. my sinus were freaking out and i had an upset stomach. but i can't miss my first 2 classes so i drag myself over to campus. After my first 2 classes i decide that i can't keep going. So i go home, i only had choirs left that day...except we have a concert in a week. So i decide instead that if i don't get sick before noon, i'll go back to classes. so i go home and crash for about an hour and half. noon comes around and i'm not sick. so i go to class. where several people say that i don't look good. (great observations) so after choirs i head home, deposit my paycheck. go buy some chicken noodle soup, and run into work to request a day off work during finals week. I walk into work and my co-worker megan goes "mandy, whats wrong?" i say "nothing, i just don't feel very good. my sinuses are commiting mutiny." apparently i looked like i had been crying. so i go home and sleep for three hours.
After my long nap i felt human again. So i decide to try and go to the luau at the institute. (Mostly so i can get justin out of his apartment) which worked for an hour then we went back to his place and watched a really really stupid movie called "the box". theres 2 hours of my life i'll never get back. then i head home so i cang et up for work the next morning.
The next morning i go to work, still feeling lousy. But i had to work, it waas to late to call in sick. But at one point i did beg my manager to let me switch with someone in the hole so that i could stop moving around so much. So she let me go back for 3 hours. (where i shamelessly texted some friends asking them to make me laugh so i could make it through the next few hours) but i managed to survive.
Then after getting off i go home, shower, pack up and head to grandmas for easter (and to borrow her washing machine) well...i'm tunring onto 4th north...wasn't quite paying attention at the stop sign. I though the car in front of me had gone so i was watching on coming traffic...i forgot to double check...i rear ended them (thankfully i was going from a stand still, so nothing really bad happened. their trunk might be a little jacked up, but i gave them my contact information so that if it costs a lot to fix we can work something out.) i felt terrible though. But then i headed onto grandmas.
I get there, we eat dinner. (she can tell i don't feel very good) we were going to dye eggs and stuff, but we were both really tired. so we did laundry, watched 10 commandments (sort of) and chatted. then headed to bed. Where half way through the night i started feeling way worse. So we get up the next morning, go to church go home, eat dinner and then grandma made me take a nap because i really needed one. Then around six i head home. feeling like crap. i had been having a fever off and on all day. and i would get hot and then cold and then hot and then cold. After being back in Logan i headed to mapleview. Justin opened the door and said "Mandy, you look like crap" i said "thats kinda how i feel."
Monday morning i wake up and Cyri doesn't even want me to go to classes. But i can't miss keyboard harmony or theory and i won't miss institute. I thought i was going to be able to make it through all of my classes. But right before choir started i hit a great big huge wall. So i asked Dr. Evans if i could leave. I went down to work to see if i could get my shift covered. called some people. got it covered. and then went home to sleep. except i couldn't sleep. and i was getting way way worse. I couldn't really talk, my eyes were watering like i was crying, my sinuses were stuffed up, i was running a fever again i would get really hot and then really cold so i would go from sweating to shivering in like 2 minutes. basically i was sicker than i've ever been since i moved out of the house. I managed to eat so i could take some suddafed and ibprofen. but i called my mom, (pretty sure i ended up in tears on the phone) because i didn't feel good and i just wanted mommy. and i wanted a blessing from daddy and i didn't feel good and i was miserable and i just wanted to feel better but i couldn't fall asleep. (i was so incredibly exhausted it was ridiculous.) i managed to calm down after a few minutes. I texted my friend Jordan asking if he was home. He said he wasn't yet, and then asked why. I asked if he could go get another priesthood holder and give me a blessing. (that was the original plan sunday night with Justin, but i needed another one) He says "Yeah, of course" but he was at the store, so i waited about a half hour to go over. Before i go over my friend Mitch knocks on our door. I open it and he goes "you look terrible" i go "i feel terrible. enter at your own risk" he came in anyway. we chatted for a few minutes before i go to Jordans. I get to jordans, he opens the door. "Mandy, you don't look very good." me "i don't feel very good" so his FHE dad comes over, they give me a blessing and then me and Jordan chatted for about an hour. He always knows how to make me laugh. :) and he has no idea how much i appreciate it.
So now i'm home, needing to go to bed. But i've at least taken a hot shower which helped and i'm feeling a lot better. not perfect, nor nowhere near. But good enough that i can function and i'm not having a melt down on the phone with my mom. So that was my easter weekend. Now if i can survive finals, everything will be ok. :)
