Friday morning Wes woke up with a horrible case of the stomach flu. The poor guy was laid up in bed for a day and a half completely. By Sunday afternoon he was able to go to work, but still felt pretty nauseous and weak. While he was at work Sunday evening, I did laundry from 4-9, nonstop. I did our sheets, blankets, throw blankets, towels...; just wanted to get the flu out of the house!!
Everything for my Advanced Accounting II class needed to be submitted online by midnight Sunday. I had gotten it all submitted Friday night, which allowed me to feel the burden lifted off my chest for the rest of the weekend. (Did I mention I got an A in the class...?!) Knowing I would need a mental health day after that, I had taken Monday off just to relax and get the house cleaned up for the upcoming holiday, craft, bake, etc.
Ironically enough, Monday morning I woke up with the stomach flu. What?!?! Seriously?! Ugh!! Luckily, I was only actively sick from 7:30am-10am, but still felt horrible, weak, and in pain for the rest of Monday and about half of Tuesday. I just wanted to sleep, but for the life of me I couldn't! That is such a frustrating feeling, especially when you're sick and know rest is what you need most. (It didn't help that the church next door was doing construction all day - but that's another post for another time.) Also, both Monday and Tuesday I had bouts of uncontrollable, unexplainable bawling. I had no reason - I was in pain and uncomfortable, but not to the extent to warrant bawling and I knew it. What was wrong with me?! I had no idea, but just couldn't stop. Wes was Christmas shopping with his brother, so I was home alone and I just felt like I was at a loss...crying and crying.
Finally, it dawned on me. I brought a CD player into the bedroom and put me on some Mason Jennings. Half way through the third song, I was asleep. Not only did it bring Wes home to me (metaphorically), but it took me back to falling in love with him. Before we started dating, he would tell me songs by Mason Jennings to look up and then once we started dating he made me 2 CD's of all Mason Jennings songs. I fell in love with the songs and Wes. Not only did hearing the songs while sick make me reminiscent, but it just soothed me. ♥
