Sickie poo!

I've been sick all week. It hasn't been too much fun but I have found comfort in the small things:

1) snuggling in tons and tons of blankets-there is nothing like curling deep down in two comfortors, two afgans and a woven blanket with your favorite stuffed animal and tons of pillows. The comfort when you find just the right spot just makes all the sucky things in life go away.

2) good friends-even when i don't ask them, i have friends that will call me and check up on me to make sure i'm feeling ok. If it deals with japanese homework, music, to go get a lost boyfriend from the bar or just needing some crackers from the store, I have a wonderful group of friends that i can rely upon.

3) fresh air-you never really appreciate fresh air until you open up your small apartment to let all the stagnent air out and it feels oh so good.

4) real food-i fully believe in, "you never appreciate the things you have when you don't have them anymore."

5) wonderful boyfriend-it doesn't matter if you are throwing up and crying or slapping him in the face because he said something stupid, he still makes me laugh when i'm feeling horrible and he takes care of me when i need it most.

Its small things like these that make me realize how much i have and what i don't have. Being sick is never fun, but when you are away from home, its even tougher. When you have wonderful people to rely upon, thats all that a sick girl in Lubbock ever needs!
