The Journey's the Thing…

I went to a Step meeting last night instead of class. It’s alright. Class would have been a 3 hour driving commitment plus 2 1/2 hours of attendance…No brainer, really in my condition.

Afterwards I came home and realized that I was very feverish and probably shouldn’t have driven. I was also a little dizzy and chilled, so I bundled up in a sweatshirt and pants and crawled under the covers, shivering the night away.

I woke up around 3AM and noticed immediately that wasn’t cold anymore, and that I was covered in sweat. I guess my fever broke–thank you Tylenol!

So today is another ‘East Does It, But Do It’ day for me. I might skip my home group meeting and stay home and work on school assignments. I would like to finish this EU paper by Saturday…Plus I have tons of reading to begin chipping away at.

So yesterday I woke up with a scratchy cough. Later at school, the cough was more pronounced and I began to feel feverish. By the time I drove up the driveway, I was definitely in for a bad time, and I fell asleep around 10PM and slept until 9AM this morning. I’m not feeling great, but I have too much work to do to stay in bed all day. If I make it to a meeting tonight, it will be a miracle.

I learned something wonderful yesterday about writing theses. I had been struggling with a paper for my European History study on the EU, and was very disconsolate. I spoke to my instructor and she told me that I should try writing the paper, getting all my ideas down, and then see what the thesis is. This was a revelation! All my life I had been writing papers the wrong way around. She assured me that this was alright to do and that she completed all of her graduate work that way. What a relief!

Anyway, I cough and my head hurts. Time for more Tylenol and maybe a lie down. the two hours spent in front of the computer has begun to tire my eyes and wear me out.

Stay well!
