This week...ugh.

This week was...not the best week ever but not the worst either.

It was just...ugh...or maybe...meh?

After a glorious General Conference last week I was really excited to go to the temple with my padre Monday morning...SUPER early.
5:45 am anyone?

Actually it was good that we went at that time because about halfway through the session I started to get really, really, really sick.
Dizzy,
nauseous,
tunnel vision,
loud wave like sounds in my ears,
my face started to fill with snot,
coughing commenced,
...yeah, not a good morning for me.

I made it through the session but went directly to bed when we got home.

...and stayed there...

...for pretty much the rest of the week.

Tuesday I got out of bed for 1.5 hours to go to my class.  
Thankfully Hunter lent me her car or I would not have made it the 1.27 miles to the museum.
Wednesday I got out of the horizontal position for an hour to go to theory hour at 5pm.
Yep, again I got a ride to and from the meeting, followed by promptly getting back into the warm comforts of my bed.
By Wednesday I was starting to feel a little better though, all the rest was good.
Thursday I was able to do my shift at the temple, sleep a little, and then head to class.
We had Thursday's class at Brick Oven over a 16" pizza.
After that lunch I went to an early dinner with the Cita, Stephie, Hunter and Bug at Olive Garden.
It was a delicious day overall I think.
I spent the evening with the Cita watching Snow White and the Huntsman (which kind of sucked) and the Vice Presidential debate (which really sucked).
Friday I was feeling much better and was able to spend time with the familia who were on fall break.
We did family names at the temple all together first thing in the morning.


and yes, it appears that it is impossible for us to take a normal smiling picture together.
...except for maybe Stephie, she is always smiling.



Right after the temple we came home, picked up our backpacks and family history, and headed to the Family History Center in the BYU library.

The Padre was still wearing his pink sweatband from the Thursdays BYU soccer match.


At the library Bug studied for her permit test, Stephie read a novel, I researched copyright and trademark law, the Padre worked on a project for the Cita, the Cita and Hunter did family history research.

It was a good time.

Afterwards Bug and the Padre went to the DMV (Bug now has her driving permit folks, avoid our neighborhood...just kidding...kind of) and I went to bed because the morning wiped me out.

Saturday, still tired but I was able to do a CrossFit workout with Hunter, go to the blackout Homecoming game (which we lost...grrr), and ended the day at Aunt Karen's with homemade pizza and fun games with the extended familia.

Things I am grateful for this week:
1. My roommate Hunter who took care of me in my sickness.
2. My familia who did the same.
3. My professor who was very patient with my illness this week.
4. That my head cold didn't include barfing and that it only lasted about 5 days until I was nearly back to normal.
5. My Heavenly Father who blesses me with all of these things.

Here is hoping that next week is a little better on the health side of things so I can go to work...and afford groceries.
