Tuesday, September 4, 2007 HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANAMARIE!
So unfortunately one good night of excessive sleep did not cure my tiredness. Actually, I guess I wouldn’t know; I didn’t sleep much at all last night. I woke up every few hours sweating and miserable. Finally around 6 am I took 2 Extra Strength Tylenol and slept till about 10:30. So it ends up that I am just sick. I woke up this morning pale, and achy, with a little bit of a headache and a sore throat. If I had classes, I could probably go and if I’d been at Tulane I would have convinced myself that I was fine. But Olga spotted me out and after a quick breakfast she sent me back to bed. She told me I was to stay in bed and recover before I got worse.
It worked out well because I had to write an essay for my Biblia class and I hadn’t done any of the readings. I laid in bed from about 11:00 am till 8:00 pm reading, sleeping, drinking strange teas and Olga bringing me food and checking on me. Rino, Evan, and Miquel came to the apartment to hang out in the afternoon and I felt really bad that I had to be antisocial. I wanted to get out of bed and talk for a while, but Olga would have none of it. Around 8 I finally started writing my essay which I finished around 11:00 pm. So a boring but very necessary day. I felt much better in the evening and appreciated a day to literally do nothing (besides read and write an essay, which really isn’t nothing, but the fact that I stayed in bed all day was strange.)

La enfermita, So sorry to hear you are sick. Olga is a good mother. Probably more strict than I and for that, I am thankful. We saw the Downeys tonight at Church. You should see Taylor's hair! SO long and beautiful. Love Mom
