Free Fallin

Oh how I love that song (almost as much as I love Pandora)!

I can't believe tomorrow's already Thursday. Even though I feel as though the days can't go any slower at times, the weeks really do fly by pretty quickly. In almost a week exactly, I will be heading out to Sedona, AZ for my retreat. :) Boy am I in need! It may be little "Anna's" last week, but she continues to make it as hellish as possible. One might think that trying to just accommodate her would make things easier. Not so much. She's been giving me, and the rest of the class, a tough time. She won't go down without some more fight.

So Monday my stomach was still feeling awful. I stopped by Whole Foods before work to pick up saltines and "ginger brew." A guy who works there told me that peppermint oil eases nauseous stomachs, so I went back to my place to pick up some of that as well. Obviously I am into the home remedy stuff, but drinking that made me shake. yuck! Dominique came back from her lunch break to find me laying on the floor; I didn't think I would make it through the day. My stomach oscillated between being in a ton of pain and feeling like I was going to lose it all (aka nothing bc I hadn't eaten in a couple of days). I went to the break room on my lunch and fell asleep on the floor, wrapped up in my jacket and woke up feeling a little better. See... There are multiple uses for "sleepingbag coats."

I felt better yesterday, but I started feeling sick again today. However, this time it's a cough, sore muscles (I feel like a shoulder/neck massage would be so fantastic right now.), runny nose and exhaustion. It's not hard to believe with the number of sick kids coughing on me every single day. I should be asleep right now, but I am a sucker when it comes to checking my e-mails, reading blogs, etc. at night. Tomorrow morning I am sitting in on a class, Fundamentals of Traditional Oriental Medicine, and meeting with an academic advisor at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. I am excited. I just wish the class was a little later. haha Alright, I should get to bed.
