Thanksgiving Blues

The week did not start off well (what a surprise) and it continued to be bad until today.

I got a most marvelous cold from my best friend, Carrie, although I was two days behind her so I had the good fortune of witnessing everyday what I would be like two days from then.  I had a tough time getting through dance classes in the beginning of the week.  Hard time breathing which is ya know an essential thing.  We had a master class Tuesday night that was mandatory and I pretty much coughed my way through.  I had to sit out the last 20 minutes because I couldn't catch my breath anymore.  Needless to say, I was not thrilled.  

Wednesday was even worse as I attempted to prepare the house for Thanksgiving while my mother started preparing the food.  That night I made three batches of cookies and a cake and then passed out on the couch for the evening.

By the time Thursday rolled around I couldn't taste or smell anything.  I've been told Thanksgiving dinner was delicious.  I'll take their word for it.  That night we ventured over to Kristofer's mother's house when all I wanted to do at that point is sleep.  Finally, we got home and I slept and slept and slept...and still woke up feeling like crap.

Yesterday Kris and I bought each other new cell phone for xmas and that was the extent of my black friday shopping experience.  And of course (yet again) when all I want is to sleep we have to hang up xmas lights outside at night...who in the world hangs up lights at night!!! What a stupid thing to do!  I was not in the xmas mood.  

So finally today, I get my one day of rest and relaxation that I have longed for since about Monday.  To hell w/ finals and papers.  Rest comes first.  Papers tomorrow.
