Thanking God for a cold...

So today has been so long. I have a cold so I don't feel good and... I don't know. I just didn't feel good today. 

It started out when I got to school and during second period, my stomach starting feeling sick. It was like I was really hungry but I wasn't, really. It felt weird. 

Then after I ate my snack in English, it kind of went away a little. Then my heart started hurting. It was odd. Below my shoulder on my left side it felt like someone  was trying to stab me (I mean it didn't hurt THAT bad but that's what it felt like). You know, like those little cramps you get in your chest randomly that hurts really bad but only for like half a second, then it goes away. It was like that for longer than half a second. Maybe I minute or two. It was weird and I thought my body was malfunctioning. 

Anyway, after that went away, I started to feel sick. You know when you just feel all stopped up in your head and everything smells different. Don't tell me you don't know what I'm talking about. When you have a cold and you have all this pressure in your nose, the air smells weird. It's just the "cold smell". Anyway... and that lasted for the rest of the day.

Now, because I don't feel too good and because I'd be leaving tomorrow at lunch anyway, I'm able to skip school tomorrow, calling in sick. Thanks, Jesus. That was awful nice of you. Now I can actually sleep in and we'll leave early in the afternoon to head up to the mountains.

Oh yeah, I never told yall. This weekend I'm going up to this beautiful cabin (with a lovely view) in Blue Ridge with my mama, my aunt, and some of my aunt's friends. Yeah, they're all older ladies and I'm by far the youngest there, but I heard these ladies are nice and fun. Besides, I've never been intimidated by adults. In fact, I talk to them pretty well. Another plus is that I not only get my own room, but my own queen-sized bed. :D That's right, it's gonna be awesome. I'm really excited.

We're going to go antique shopping (which I love to do) and we'll go to Mercere's Apple Orchards (they have the best cider East of the Mississippi, I swear) and the rest of the time we'll lounge around and play games and eat lots of food. I'm so happy. Talk about pure bliss. 

I've been dying to rent a cabin in Blue Ridge since like last year. So I'm jubilant about it all (I'm expanding my vocabulary as you can tell). So... yeah. 

That's about it for now. I'm tired so I may go take a nap or watch TV for a while.

p.s. I still need suggestions! I have an idea that might work but I'll explain that later. As well as my big idea I want to share with you all. So I'll try to remember!

With love for my Lord.

Yours truly,
