Today I got out of bed at 0800 and felt like crap again but I thought I could make myself better by getting some fresh air. It wasn't a very warm day but I was hot from being sick, perhaps I had a fever. I took some Mucinex and ate some cereal while I checked my email to see if I had heard from Matt.
I paid a few bills before taking a shower and blow drying my hair. I was out of breath and sweating afterwards which made me think my fever was breaking but I never took my temperature so I didn’t even know if I really had one.
I loaded up my huge backpack with things I needed to mail to the states, a pair of pants I needed to get heemed, and some water and an apple for a snack. I walked down the four flights of stairs in our building and headed over to the main part of the Panzer base (we live across the street on the housing base). After mailing my packages, picking up my rings from the jewlery people, and checking our mail to find a package of goodies from my Mom and sister, I was ready to head back home.
I had walked all over the base and I was feeling okay at first but after I finished my errands all I wanted to do was go back to bed. Three hours later I was finally home and in need of some more meds. I knew I had to meet Shari at 1630 at the front gate to sign her in so I couldn't go back to sleep quite yet; she said I looked like crap when I went to meet her...in a sincere way.
I needed some more medicine, tissues, and some soup for dinner so I took Shari with me to the Commissary to do some shopping. We rented a couple of horror movies and headed home to be lazy. My friend Michelle (I have two friends here named Michelle) came over to watch "Buried" with us.
Even though I felt like crap, I was so thankful to have friends that would come over and keep me company while my husband is away. I just hope I don't get them sick!
