sickly rest

Last night I broke out with this mysterious fever. Previously that evening, I had been playing raquetball, eating Spoons Frozen Yogurt, complaining about my old lady hip to my roommates, then plopping in the floor in the halloway between their doors to discuss New Moon. I had been feeling kind of weird, headache, a little achy, but I had reason in my head to why that might be, like seasonal changes always mess with my allergies, and then I just played raquetball, duh I'd be sore! But I took my temperature before I got in the shower last night. I take my temperature often. I'm a halfway hypochondriac. Macie laughed at me when I explained my temperature taking obsession to her, ha! But anyways, my temperature was 100.1. Strange. So, I go to bed. The chills hit, so I turned on my electric blanket. I love electric blankets by the way. I wake up around 1:30 a.m. to find my shirt soaked in sweat and my temperature risen to 101.5. At this point I finaly make myself get up to take some ibuprofiin. Much better. I make an appointment to the health center on campus, and go to sleep. I wake up with no fever, but feel extremely fatiqued, sore throat and head ache. At the health center, Beutel, they test me for strep. Doctors ALWAYS test me for strep, it never fails. I told them that I'm always tested and never have it, but the doctor insisted on the test. I of course did not have strep. The diagnosis was "viral". Those viruses are so tricky. No meds, just rest. So I did exactly that. Came home, got into bed, and slept. As inconvienent being sick is, for I have to miss work, and 3 classes, I think God let me have this for a reason. To rest. I have been so busy, running around, doing everything I can, studying, lunch/dinner with friends, time with Mason, paper writing, bible studies, ect... I've been on this constant go, I havent had time to just rest. Rest in the Lord. I am still fatigued and weak, but my heart and mind have rested.

Texas Tech Tshirt

I am an Aggie, no ifs-ands-or-buts about it.
BUT..
I have this OLD Texas Tech shirt that I sleep in reguarly. I got this shirt when I was 5 or 6 from on of my mom's friend's daughter for Christmas one year. She went to Tech, obviously, and like most college kids who need an easy gift, a T-shirt with your school logo is always a good option. Come to think of it, this shirt is a size large, meaning she probably got it for free. An adult large is never actually meant for a small child to wear.

This shirt has mega holes in it. I've worn it for over 15 years to sleep in. It's been through a lot. But I still am extremely comfortable in this shirt and will keep it until it litterally falls apart and becomes unwearable.
