Tomorrow is Matt's and my one year anniversary of being married! How crazy is that? I am super excited! I ended up making him the scrapbook like I said I would, and it turned out great. I am so glad I ended up doing it when I did, because no way would i have been able to get it accomplished this week, with the way it has been.
I have been super sick. It came on all of a sudden on Sunday night. We were watching a movie (Repo, which was great by-the-way) when all of a sudden my throat started to hurt, and i could barely swallow. It got worse and worse throughout the night. I woke up several time that evening, and I finally went to get some medication. When I got back, Matt asked me what was the matter and why I had been tossing and turning more than usual. At that point, I just started to cry. I don't know if this is common, but when I don't feel well, the only emotion I can express is sobs. I had been crying into Matt for a good half an hour, when I sat up randomly and said "Well, that was a dumb idea... now I have a pounding headache!" He couldn't help but smile at me, and he went and got me water and hot tea. He is such a sweetheart!
Unfortunately he had to leave for work about an hour later. I felt horrible, every time I woke up, he woke up too, so he didn't get a good nights sleep either, and unlike me, he had to work 12 hours that day. I tried to go back to sleep, but I was in so much pain I decided it just wasn't going to happen, so I popped on Facebook. Yeah, that was stupid, who the hell is up at such an early hour? So I tried going back to sleep and was lucky to have caught an hour or so. I kept waking up more miserable than the last time, and finally at 11 I told myself to just get up and watch a movie.
Chrissy had spent the evening at my place that night too, so I found her awake, and told her I was going to be a horrible host. I was running a fever, and wasn't in any condition to drive, cook, or entertain. She was fine with that, and understood and more than a dozen times offered to help me or make me something to eat. When I am really sick, you will know it, because I will want the least amount of attention I can get, and just disappear. Unlike if I had a paper cut, I would be milking all the attention I could get for what it was worth.
So Chrissy and I sat around until Roberts woke up and came to pick us up to take us to lunch. We ended up going to T.G.I.F and I ordered the chicken strips. I ate half of a chicken strip when the feeling of nausea came about, so I stopped and had the rest boxed up. After lunch I ended up going back home and just laying in bed miserably all alone.
When Matt finally got back, he came in and checked on me, and felt my forehead. He then went to the kitchen and got me water and Advil. I was hoping for Nyquil, but he told me it wouldn't help break the fever. So I took the Advil while he started my bath. It was nice to have him come home and take care of me. If it would have been anyone else i would have felt bad and uncomfortable with it, but he made it feel right, and that it was ok to be sick. While I was in the tub, he made me more hot tea, and let me sip on it while I took my bath.
I then got out and went back to bed, and fell asleep, but still awoke many times that night, and woke up the next day, feeling worse than the last! Luckily Chrissy didn't spend the night, and I was able to just lay on the couch, watch stupid cartoons and doze in and out. I think yesterdays laziness helped because I only woke a few times last night, due to coughing and i feel 75% better today! I only have a stuffy nose which is a causing factor to my throat still being sore. Other than that, I have more energy, and will try to get the house straightened up and do a load or two of laundry.
I know hearing about my sickness is boring, and why would I go into details, but to be honest, I haven't been this sick in over 2 years! I can't even remember the last time I got this sick. So it has been an experience for me. Unfortunately Chrissy messaged me this morning telling me she woke up with a sore throat and a stuffy nose... oops. I really hope I don't give it to Matt too! that would suck! Because at least I am getting better for our one year anniversary weekend. He would be at the peak of the sickness when it's the worst! So cross your fingers that what I had was the flu, and since he had the flu shot, and I didn't, he wont get it!
Speaking of our anniversary weekend, I have no idea what we are planning to do to celebrate. I have been looking around for nice restaurants and all that, but I guess we will wait and see how I feel. I know I said I feel better, but sometimes I get cocky and overdo it, and exhaust myself and take 3 steps back. I need to go out and get an anniversary gift bag to put my scrapbook in, and some tissue paper! I can't not have it be wrapped!
I hope Matt gets me flowers! I love flowers, even if they do just end up dying and the cats play with the fallen leaves and ground them into the carpet for me to vacuum, I still love flowers. I also hope he listened to my "hint" of what I wanted. I took him to best buy, showed him the camera I have been wanting and looked at him and said "Gosh, this would make a great anniversary gift! I know I would love it, if you got it for me!" So, we will see, he is a man, and sometimes those "subtle" hints don't get through to him, but I also don't want to be like "Hey, buy me this for our anniversary, ok? Thanks! I love you!" Seems rude... lol
Anyway, I am going to stop babbling. I am bored and nothing good is on TV, so I have been wasting time writing on here. Congratulations if you read all the way to this point, you must have no life either! Yay us!
