Rest Up

For those who know me, know I have the worst immune system and get sick quite often. This weekend was well spent wrapped up my Snuggie, bundled in bed, with a couple extra blankets. Didn't see anyone, haven't spoken to anyone (although, even if I wanted to I couldn't. No voice either). 

On Friday I started with somewhat of a voice, sounding like a pre-pubescent thirteen year old boy, to by the end not even having a whisper. Luckily for my maths classes I have a TA that was able to facilitate the lessons for me. However, my science class - with my troublesome 9s was quite interesting. But, I made it through the day and think I may have even broke some ground with a couple of stickler students.

The weather yesterday was beautiful, although a little chilly, very sunny. Instead of my normal weekend explorations though, I enjoyed a couple of movies and catching up on some TV and much needed sleep. The highlight of my day however, was grocery shopping. I was desperate for food, cupboard and fridge were completely empty. I also know my body quite well and knew I needed to get to the health store to restart the vitamin regime I was on before I left. Accept, on the verge of sinus and ear infection with a fever, I was obviously not up for the 45 minute walk to town. Luckily, the only thing technologically advanced in this country - I can grocery shop online. I probably spent 2 hours shopping through a Walmart partner store called ASDA. Looking at groceries, looking at things for my room, school supplies, etc. I got a mattress topper so I don't feel the springs poking me anymore and finally some decent pillows! Exciting weekend, right?!

I really did miss exploring, I look forward to my weekends and planning adventures is my saving grace during the week. However, I know my body pretty well, and with all the health issues I've already had this year, I've finally learned my lesson of when you need to rest. So in my rest, I am now planning a trip to Greece for a week during half term at the end of October. It is somewhere I have always wanted to go, so figured I'd plan it first to make sure I get there. Have also found some great weekend deals on Groupon, like one to Venice, so plenty of exciting times to come!

It's now almost noon on Sunday, my groceries arrived this morning! So I have food, and lots of really delicious foods and great fresh stuff! Tonight for dinner though will be another bowl of chicken noodle soup, or maybe mashed potatoes. So much for the cooking I've been enjoying. I was supposed to play soccer today, but it is now pouring rain outside, so I think it's going to be another day spent in this nice beige box. My voice is back, so that's a step in the right direction and hopefully tomorrow I will be as good as new, just in time for another week ahead.
