Maybe The Worst Week Ever

Monday. I came home from work and we had no hot water. This has happened before but that still doesn't make it ok. I had to take a shower, had to! So, I did everything I could think of to try to make a freezing shower somewhat pleasant. Well, my attempts were weak and didn't work. It was like bathing in an ice shower.
Tuesday. Woke up with a headache and sore throat. I went to work anyway but as the day went on everything got worse. My body started aching and that headache started putting on weight. After a while, I could barely stand. So, I left work early came straight home and went to bed.
Wednesday. I got up, got in the shower (water was fixed by now) and I still didn't have the energy to stand. So I didn't go into work all day. My throat was swollen and sore and very painful. My headache hurt so much it felt as if all my body's weight was in my brain and someone hit my head with an axe.
Thursday. My normal day off. Thankfully doing a little bit better but stayed home all day trying to recoop.
Friday. Feel good enough to go to work. My cold now is in the runny nose stage. So by the end of the night I'm just worn out. I go to bed and all night I keep rubbing my right eye. Not sure why but it just kept drying up getting crusty.
Saturday. I get up and my eye is all red. I take a shower and again there is no hot water. It wasn't completely gone but it was still very cold. Well, I had to go to work so I do and all the girls are telling me to go home and rest. I might have pink eye. Great. So I come home hating how much work I am missing and my eye just gets worse and worse. It spreads to my left eye and that gets worse and worse. So I go to an urgent care and get some drops.
Today. I am home writing all this out with two pink eyes, one which is still really swollen but hey they are getting a little better with the drops. I have to miss church and decide if I should miss work tomorrow too. Oh and I'm still very sick.

Doesn't that sound like the greatest week ever? My eyes should be all better within 7 days. So, hopefully my cold is gone by then too and I can get back to a normal life. It's amazing how much I can take my health for granted. One thing shuts down and its the end of the world.

My only celebrity crush

Jim Caviezel


That's right. He's my one and only. I might be picky but I only pick the best! I don't know why I am posting this other than I just feel like it! I've liked Jim Caviezel for a few years now. He's beautiful and real and I don't think he's popular enough for how great he is. At least from what I can tell. You might recognize him from such movies as; Frequency, The Passion of the Christ, and my favorite, The Count Of Monte Cristo. There have been many others but I'm not going to list them all. Anyway, Jim, you're my boy! I've heard he was considered to play Superman (cause he's perfect like that) and the fact that he played Jesus says it all. (perfect!) He's strong and firm, but soft and gentle. Good job Mel Gibson picking him! He's my favorite! Ain't he yummy?

Nouvelle Vague

Tuesday night John and I went to a concert. The night took a while getting started...a lot of waiting for the show to begin but it was awesome. We saw Nouvelle Vague, they are a french group who only do covers with a unique bossanova sound. Very cool! We were right next to the stage. We could reach out and touch them if we wanted. At one moment one of the women put her microphone up to John and let him sing part of a song. That was fun!! I must say, there is something very fascinating about the french. What else was cool was Kyle Korver (Utah Jazz) was there! Anyway, here is one of their better videos on you tube...

I got some terrible shots with my camera phone but here are a couple, I think they must have different women sing for them sometimes because they look different than those on you tube videos.
