hello everyone,
i'm lounging here in my bed on thanksgiving eve. it's all quiet here, and very relaxing right now. i'm so completely wiped out right now from the day. i'm probably going to bed soon actually.
yesterday i got the stomach flu passed lovingly from teammate to teammate this past week, and hopefully stopping with me. yesterday, i was sickkkkk. i'll spare you the details, but let's just say i still can't successfully keep a meal down. yeah... so i've been feeling pretty weak i suppose, and not up to my full potential.
today we switched it up a bit and got out of the schools. we spent the day in a local community and we started by cleaning up an elementary school playground. there was so much trash there, and some of my team also worked with graffiti removal. it was sad to see such a cool playground made to look trashy with all of the spray paint. after this the team walked around the neighborhood with community members and picked up trash along with graffiti removal.
one of my teammates had just repainted over a sign to remove the tagging, and walked back before it had even dried and it was re-tagged. it's pretty pathetic.
anyway tomorrow is thanksgiving. it doesn't really feel like it, but it's alright. my team is here with me and we're all feeling mighty similar. i'm thankful for them and to know that i do have a huge loving family i could be with right now. that knowledge is more than enough for me.
i'm thankful for love, slurpees, sunshine, and the One who never stops blessing me with it.

ReplyDeleteThat will really build team togetherness. Nothing like a few hours worshipping at the porcelin god to bring you together. Of course, now I will get it for making light of your pain. Nothing I hate more than that. I sure hope you are feeling better now, and able to eat again.
ReplyDeleteMags and I were playing a new card game, scrabble, tonight (Keith suggested it)and listening to Relient K Christmas. Makes me miss you more.
I had a great talk with a guy who has been working in Kenya for almost 20 years in hospitals there, very near where Mom and I were. We may try to work together on a project early next year. I'd love to go to Kenya again.
We hope you had a nice Thanksgiving . . . despite that whole "feeling like you are going to die stomach flu" thing.
ReplyDeleteWe miss you and love you!
