So I’m finally back to feeling mostly normal these days. The start of the week I was feeling awful (sick, dizzy), then I was feeling okay, then I started up with some insomnia and felt bad again. So it was back to the doctor for the 4th time in two weeks, and I got some drugs to help me sleep and they actually worked! I got some great sleep last night and am feeling a lot better. I have the whole weekend to rest up and prepare myself for a week’s worth of work, not missing any days! So today we spent the morning and early afternoon trying to clean up a bit around here, and we got the bathroom and the kitchen somewhat cleaned. I still need to clean the tub and empty out the refrigerator, but we’ve got things mostly cleaned out here. It’s going to be hard to get things all clean when we really only have the weekends to do it in. Next week I also plan to get some scrapbooking done and maybe some reading. My Clutterbug thing has definitely fallen to the wayside and all, since my time has been extremely limited lately. I think I’m just as happy not doing it for now. I’m going to try and keep up with the blog but I also need to get my own apartment in the clear first. Judging from how little the work we did changed the apartment today, it’s going to take awhile. Anyways, not much else going on here.

I know I should be doing more of an update than this, but really the gist is that a) I got really sick a week ago and b) I’m just now feeling human again and c) there really isn’t much else to know. Blogging about how I watched Season 6 of Dawson’s Creek and read Girls In Pants in 2 days isn’t all that exciting to me, so I’m sure it won’t be to any of you. Anyways, I was just finishing up reading my book and I read some of the interview questions with the author at the back and stumbled upon this gem:

It’s funny. I’ve always idealized relationships as a meeting of minds and souls, but as I get older I realize how much it matters that you get to gossip over donuts.

The book is the third in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series (which is a guilty pleasure of mine – I swear there is a 13-year-old girl that lives inside of me) and pretty much documents the summer before these four friends all separate to go to different colleges. The question posed to the author was about the difficulty in staying in touch with your high school friends. I really identify with these books because my high school friendships were (and some continue to be) very strong and dear to me. But sadly, it is true that it’s harder to make friendships work when you can’t just meet in a coffee shop (or pizza restaurant) and share the good gossip. I’m glad that my friendships appear to be still going strong and hope that I can keep that going even if I make really great friends here in Texas.
