Everything Falls Into Place

I saw the doctor yesterday,
aaand after numerous multiple tests to see what was going on with my liver it came down to two, and it turns out that:
I have mono.

This explains an awful lot as the symptoms are ALL consistent with what I have been experiencing:

  • Fatigue
  • Respiratory infection(s)
  • Loss of appetite
  • increase in liver enzyme
  • etc...
So, what do I do now? 
  1. Stay away from large crowds
    1. and subsequent risk of further infection (the flu just came to Seattle)
  2. Rest and stay hydrated
  3. Stay away from Tylenol and Alcohol
DONE.
Although, I just got hired at a new job that starts Monday. An answer to prayer!!!! Keep praying!
God is so awesome!!!

Health Concerns

Please be praying.

I'm going to be going through a battery of tests to see what's going on with my body. I had an initial blood-draw yesterday, and the results showed that there's something wrong in my liver. I'm really praying that it's not something severe, but one test seems to lead to another and a mountain of maladies seems to be accumulating. I know that there is a time for everything, but it's rather a shock right now to have everything pile up. Emotionally I just break down and can't really function, which is not helping my productivity in finding a job and housing.

Just wanted to get it out here.

Cough Medicine

I realize that I summarized in the absolutely most-quickest way possible the past two weeks what I have done. I'm still in a stupor and hopefully going to the doctor today. I missed the bus, because I was sleeping, and on a dream adventure, and SUPER dizzy. I couldn't really move if I had wanted to. I had made a new friend last week, and she lives in Tennessee. She also goes to school with my past-roommates-husbands'-brother. She is epic. We had great storytelling conversations, ate good food, and had many cups of tea, together and apart. One thing I appreciate throughout my life is how much tea plays a roll in my every-day life.
It really is the most fun kind of throat soother that I could ask for. It tastes far better than cough medicine, and I really do enjoy it much more. But don't get me wrong, cough medicine is good for helping you sleep when you have a terrible cold. It simply tastes horrible.

J H and OH

What has happened in the past two weeks has been a whirlwind of adventure, stress, and 
Just to name a few things that happened
Sixth Day Dance Company had their annual Fundraiser.
My roommate got married
I moved
I got a job interview
I am quite sick.
Please Pray.

Sisters

I have two of them biologically, and I am very very grateful for them.
Christine was able to come and say hey to me today, which was awesome!
She's on her spring break, and then will be going back to FL at the end of the week.

I'm Getting Better!

I was sick for the past week. Knocked off my feet (literally) by whatever this bug was. It was unpleasant, but effective in making me rest. Something I don't do nearly enough. My limits were reached, and I had to rest.

So I did.
