What a LONG Week

This week started off great as I was able to make a trip home last weekend to spend some much needed time with my family. I hardly took any pictures at all, but here's one with Grandma & Grandpa at the airport just before I headed back to Nashville on Monday:

I really had a wonderful trip, got to spend lots of good time with Mom, heard some "stories from the field" as Dad told some tales from the Academy (which is going pretty well, by the way), hung out with Paige & Torri, and got to visit quite a bit with Grandma & Grandpa. Perhaps if I ever get a bit more motivated to keep up with this blog, I'll tell you more about it :)


I got home Monday night, went to work Tuesday morning, and came home sick Tuesday afternoon. I'm not exactly sure what it was that hit me, but I had a fever by the time I got home, and that seemed to hang around until Friday, keeping me holed up here the rest of the week. I've been fighting an awful cough in my chest and a horribly stuffy nose ever since. Today was the first day I woke up and actually thought, "Ahhh....I think I'm feeling a little better today!"


Like I said...what a LONG week this has been. I've been doing this most of the time, sipping my fluids and resting. If nothing else, it's given me a good opportunity to do some fun reading!

Today I finally had the energy to get a little something done, so I stripped the bed and put on some nice clean sheets. Nothing feels better...especially after wallowing around in sickness for a few days. Now if I can get up the energy again, I think I just might get the bathroom cleaned. Mom said that is always a good sign a Schoon woman is feeling better...when she starts cleaning again :) (My Mom's maiden name is Schoon...in case you were confused). I think I'll go see what I can accomplish!
