Ugh. I am wiped out. After being sick for 2.5 weeks straight, I haven't had a decent nights sleep for quite awhile. I've been healthy again for the past few days, but my body is still in sick mode apparently! I woke up every half hour, literally, last night even though I tried going to bed two hours earlier than normal. Basically, I'm the exhausted through and through. I took a 4 hour nap today and woke up to get dinner ready before Bible study. Not happening. I could barely stand. My amazing husband got our dinner ready and I called in sick to Bible study. Ugh. I hate everything about being sick. Now that I'm a working adult I don't even have the perk of staying home and watching TV all day! Plus, we don't even have TV. I plan on taking a sleep aide tonight to help me sleep soundly. Hopefully this weekend I can catch up too and get back into a normal sleep cycle. Boo.

Sometimes I feel like my friends forget about me. I know this is ridiculous, but then I think... Well, is it? Often I feel like it's out of sight out of mind with me. Which kills me because I try so hard to be the friend I know they need. Which I know they appreciate, but then when they're done needing me it's like I get stuffed into the closet of friends until they happen to remember me. This sounds dramatic and like an over reaction. And I try to tell myself that. But looking back over the past few years, I just don't know. I know we all grow up and change and move on with our lives, but I like to latch on a little more. I like keeping in contact with my friends. I don't know, maybe I just have too high of standards. At least my husband never forgets about me. Just another perk of being married. I can make new friends wherever we go, but at least I know that I will always have him.

I'm reading through Karen Kingsbury's forever faithful series. I've read most of her books and used to own all of them. But when my parents moved they somehow got donated to the church library. So I've slowly been adding to my collection again. This is my favorite series of hers. It isn't the same story over and over like the R, F, and S series. But the characters have such strong personalities and different backgrounds. It isn't as cheesy as some. So they are my favorite. I think they were the first ones I read of hers actually. Her books are good for a nice light read. They are also often spiritually encouraging. Of course, it's best to spread them out between other more substantive reads since you can only take so many romance novels before you start feeling sick. Not in a good way. But they are good reads. I usually read one in a day or two. A nice break from the classics. Since Matt and I see going to start purchasing philosophy books to "broaden our horizons" I think I will be in dire need of some light and fluffy books!

Well, I think bed is calling me again. I also could use a good long massage. My back is all tensed up. I don't know why. Matt thinks I just sleep funny. Oh well.

Goodnight. Sleep tight.
