thing i love about bellingham number 152,033
(okay not really but the point is there are MANY things i love about bellingham)
ahem.
walking home in the brisk, fall bellingham air
crunching leaves against the sidewalk
the breeze makes you shiver
...then you see someone you think you may know, crossing in the upcoming crosswalk
(you cant be sure b/c you forgot your glasses in your car that morning...weird but true)
as the figure gets closer you realise you DO know this person!
and then you hug them
say hello
then keep walking home.
its great
and i love it here
:)

sick days at the ice box
so yesterday morning i spend 3 1/2 hours in the emergency room with a fever of 102 (i usually hang out around 96 or 97 so thats real high for me), a relentless cough, headache, etc
turns out i have a real bad case of the flu
thankfully its not h1n1, but im feelin pretty low
my fever keeps bouncing between 99.8 and 101.5
im basically bed ridden
the doctor said no school or work for 10 days
work has been really REALLY understanding which has been such a blessing
i sent out emails to my professors today about it; lets hope theyre as understanding about it
amidst all this feeling-like-crap, i have rediscovered that i have amazing friends (not that i ever forgot, but man have they stepped up their game!)
when i got home yesterday afternoon from the ER, jamie had a plate of toast and oranges and some water for me with my bed all turned down for me to collapse into. she then went to the store and got me all the essentials; extra strength tylenol, gatorade, chicken soup, and saltines
shes amazing
really she is
ALSO
today as i was getting ready for my parents to pick me up tomorrow (theyre fantastic and are driving up to come get me so i can be sick and feeling awful with them and not get my roommates sick!) katie stone and fred sprinkle (gosh i love his name!) came by and dropped off some homemade chicken soup and cookies for me!
THEN
lina came by and dropped off some more chicken soup, a card, and notes from Bible study!
seriously
amazing friends
and all throughout the day i kept getting get well messages from ppl
goodness
if i ever doubted that im loved, heres proof that i am.
so thanks to everyone who sent good thoughts or some get well soon prayers
i really appreciate you!!!

raindrops are fallin' on my head
well i figure its time for an update...
so i didnt get the teach for america thing
which is a bummer
but as we've seen is the underlying theme in our house right now;
its all part of the plan. God has something better in store for me, i just have to have faith in Him that things will work out alright.
as dad says; everything will be alright in the end. if its not alright then its not the end!
so im searching to find something that captures my heart or atleast my interest
something to do when i graduate
which is hopefully this year!
(i basically find out tomorrow if i'm graduating on time)
right now everyone in our house is getting sick
sore throats, headaches, and sniffly noses galore
its wonderful
(sense the sarcasm?)
but i have a wonderful roommate named jamie eileen muller who makes yummy delicious chili for me and heats it up when im on my way home from work
gosh i love her!
other than the sick parade ive just been working a lot and doing school
which, by the way, is pretty interesting.
i like my classes, i just dont particularly like getting up for them in the mornings!
my favorite is 16/17th century renaissance epic novel. sounds intense, and it is. my prof is the hilarious type of crazy, wearing things like lilac suits, ray-ban sunglasses inside, and slicked back hair. hes gotta be pushing 70 and hes such a kick in the pants!
love it.
the rain has finally set in, along with the inherent sense of autumn; my favorite!
blankets, tea, and good books deck the inside of our house just as the leaves cover our front yard.
today's especially fall-like, with the pouring rain and freezing temperatures! (it doesnt help that we're not turning on our heat till the very last possible time!)
tomorrow im going home to silverdale for the weekend
going to see wicked on saturday along with dinner at benny hana's. im pretty excited. tho ive no idea what to wear!
i think thats about it for the update.
this blog seems especially scattered and void of any coherent train of thought, but thats about how im feeling right now! haha
thats all for now
stay dry
