Sick Sucks

So I've been sick for 5 days now, and thankfully I think I am at the end of it. The timing couldn't have been worse for me to get as sick as I have been, this weekend was our big banquet. As prep work started I started to feel under the weather, the next thing I knew I was waking up Wednesday unable to breath or swallow. As the day wore on so did my symptoms and the next thing I knew I was being sent to bed by some of the directors. This is what started 5 days of bed rest, and has been absolutely driving me crazy!! I need to work, I need to be active, I don't know how I haven't gone crazy! This has also given me yet another reason to be thankful for everything I have been blessed with, being sick in a town without family or close friends, sucks! You have no one to rely on but yourself, which while sick teaches you a lot about how resourceful you can be. It's also proven to me that I am definitely an extrovert who thrives off of being around people. So as I prepare for my next week of work and getting over one of the worst sicknesses I've endured, I find myself asking, "Why did I get sick before one of our biggest events?" I know it happened for a reason, and I know I may never know that reason, but I also get really frustrated knowing that I missed out on an amazing event and I didn't get to do tons of work to prepare for it that I was so pumped and excited for. So here I sit, trying to not be frustrated and looking forward to all the craziness about to ensue as the holiday season approaches us!! I can honestly say I have never been more excited and terrified for Thanksgiving and Christmas, even if my plans are completely different from anything I ever imagined for myself. It's funny how things work out in the end, God is good!
