On Friday, Zach and I went out for dinner and a movie. It was supposed to be an early night because the next morning I had to get up at 5:00am to meet the bus that would take me to the mountain so I could go skiing. Well, that early night did not happen. First, I just couldn't fall asleep. I've gotten used to going to bed at 1:00am or 2:00am every night. Second, I felt a little sick. Once I fell asleep (for about 4 hours), I felt fine and couldn't wait to go skiing!
The bus ride to the mountain took about 2 hours. Not a big deal except I get motion sickness and the driver kept speeding up then breaking. Let me tell you, it was a long ride! But, we finally got to the mountain and breathing in the fresh air made everything better! Since I'm talking about skiing, I will show you some pictures....
It was a great day! Then, I had to get back on the bus. :( I felt just as sick as before! This time, however, I fell asleep for part of the ride which helped! That evening at home, I still didn't feel much better. I thought food would help but it really didn't. I went to bed feeling a little sick again.
It rained all day on Sunday so we stayed in and pretty much did nothing except for laundry. That night I went to bed feeling even worse. Early Monday morning I got sick (sorry). I had to be in at work at 2:30pm. I wasn't sure how I was going to survive. I took a shower and got ready for work which took all of my energy. There is a grocery store below our school so I decided that I would pick up some Cider (Sprite) and take my Saltines into work.
The walk to school wasn't that bad. I think the fresh air helped. I got to school and ate some Saltines and drank Cider. Two of the teachers (the two that speak English) asked what was wrong and I told them. About 15 minutes later, one of the teachers came over and asked to shake my hand. I thought that was weird but whatever! She started to massage my hand and doing the pressure point thing. Ok! I get the pressure point thing. Then, the other teacher came over and started hitting me on the back telling me it was ok if I burped. I wasn't afraid of burping. I was afraid of getting sick all over the teacher massaging my hand. I was feeling a little better until she whacked me on the back.
I just don't understand. I am not saying that what they did was wrong, I was just not expecting it!! haha!
Anyway, I'm feeling much better today!
One more funny story. Zach and I went to the pharmacy to pick me up some antacids because when I start to worry about things, my stomach starts acting up. Tums were my friends in the U.S. Anyway, we went to the pharmacist to ask for antacids. He asked me what my symptoms were and then recommended that I get antacids.... Duh! That's what I asked for in the first place! haha!
Oh well, they mean the best and I am grateful for that, but...well, you understand, right?!
I hope you're feeling better, babe! I love the purple jacket you're wearing in your skiing photo! :)
