Helping Out

Today I am feeling like crap; but extra, super blessed!

I started not feeling so well on Thursday.  Each day has gotten progressively worse.  Today I went in to urgent care.  The last time I felt like I do now, I was told I had walking pneumonia.  And yes, I have an upper respiratory infection and the start of pnemonia.

I probably wouldn’t be this bad if I had stopped and rested on Thursday, or Friday, or Saturday!  Friday and Saturday I kept thinking to myself, “rest, don’t make this in to something worse”.

Last night as I was up almost every hour covered in sweat or shaking from being cold, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to do the things that the calendar said should be done today.

Here’s where I am blessed: first my wonderful family has been taking care of me.  Bringing me drinks, and tissues, and medicine.  My daughter is making dinner for the second night in a row to eat in bed.  Secondly I have wonderful people who stepped in today to cover for me.  A friend (and licensed Realtor) hosted the open house I had scheduled on short notice!  And another friend is finishing up teaching the second night of Financial Peace as I write this.

Tonight I am thankful for the wonderful people in my life that have helped out this weekend so I can rest.  Hopefully I’ll be good as new in no time!
