I'm Sick

So there was the time I felt kind of "under the weather" for a few days and then I woke up and thought, OK, I have the day to hang out in bed for a bit... and then it was 3:00. So I took my temperature. That's right, 102. So, I guess I'm sick. I am not a very good sick person. I don't like being sick. I don't like people to treat me like I'm sick. But I did decide that I needed a change of scenery so I moved in here to the living room. I've been having a Flight of the Conchords marathon, one where I watch for about 20 seconds and then sleep for 2 hours. It's nice. I made some Black Bean Soup with my last can of Rotel for lunch, and then just feasted on some crackers for dinner and I think I am going to head to bed.

As for what is happening here. We signed a lease on an office - so I am perusing a lot of magazines and neighborhood windows looking for ideas for how to make our warehouse space into a magical, warm, wonderland. We're also gearing up for our major yearly conference - World Mandate which is happening on the 20th - 22nd. I am also doing the Deco for that event, think high school gym. So that's kind of freaking me out. In the midst of it I am trying to do normal work, get some volunteer time it at ICI, and I am supposed to be starting with a running club tomorrow. I am not sure I'll be running anywhere except under my covers.

It's snowing. We'll have about 3 days of mid-thrities and then the snow is back. It's hard with the homeless people in the neighborhood because they really don't have anywhere to sleep when they weather is bad like this, so I've been trying to keep some food on me and enough money to buy tea or coffee, but it's really heart breaking.

The rest of the team is gearing up for a March trip to Uganda and then it looks like Van will be going in July. So I guess I pretty successfully got that bug planted! Hurray... Next... India.

Hope you guys are well. Sorry about my blogging lately, I promise that I will get better.

OH - I found a place to live! I am moving to a one bedroom apartment at the end of March and will stay there until I come home on furlough in November - I am thrilled.

So there you go - random update of the week. Going back to bed.
