Discovery and Sleep

So. I figured out why I was sick last night. Apparently, one of the side effects of one of my pills is nausea and vomiting. It is common during the first couple of days while the body adjusts to the medication. So that's why I was sick last night, and wasn't feeling well this morning. I am hoping that I don't get sick again tonight.

I also can't seem to sleep. I was falling asleep in the car ride home from the potluck dinner, but now that I am trying to sleep my brain is whirring at 100mph. Which is not good because I need sleep. However, I am starting to learn how to function on less sleep than I am used to, seeing as the past four nights average amount of sleep has been five and one half hours, which is about half of what I used to need. I know this sounds weird, but I am hoping that by doing something, my brain will start to shut down and I will be able to sleep. I have to be able to function extremely well tomorrow, because I have an extra long Macbeth rehearsal.

I was sick last night. I don't know why. I ate hardly anything yesterday...but anyway, Andee spent the night last night, and that got a little crazy, if you want detail go here. We went to Mt. Zion in the morning. I did the projection for Bible Force. Then, went to church, then to the LIT info. meeting. That was fun! I'm getting ready to head to a potluck dinner, and I'll probably go to bed soon after we get back...

I just got back from Bardfest a few minute ago....

Bardfest is a competition. There were four other schools there, and we all performed scenes from Shakespeare's plays. We did four scenes from Macbeth. The awards they gave out weren't like 1st place 2nd place, and so on, but everybody said that we were the best group there!

Only a couple of minor mishaps...one of them was that 2 other people and I are supposed to enter from stage center, so we were planning on going around the outside of the building to get there. However, the door we were supposed to use to get into the building was locked, so we weren't able to enter from center stage. Which is ok, it was just a little confusing. Also, one girls costume was accidentally put back in the car, so she just put my brother's cloak over her dress (in the first scene she was a Lady in Waiting, but in the second she was playing a mans part of a messenger)

AND AND AND....my back doesn't hurt!! It hasn't hurt at all today, except for one time, but that was because we were sitting still for a long time.

Orthopaedic Appointment

So I went to the Orthopaedic's today for an appointment for my back. I am supposed to rest it, no physical activity, for at least 6 weeks. (I have another appointment then to re-assess the pain) I am on steroids for 6 days, muscle relaxant for 2 weeks, and (after the steroids) an anti-inflammatory for 30 days. Also, I am supposed to use the heating pad on it 3-4 times a day for 1/2 hour each time, and I am supposed to take two hot showers, 20 minutes each, per day, with the water right on my back. So hopefully that will make my back heal!

sooo...ive had two crazy but awesome days!

Tuesday was:
Playing in church
Piano lesson
Science class
Creative Worship at Small Group

Today was:
Orthopaedic appointment (see forthcoming post for details)
Macbeth rehearsal!!!
took my brother to fencing
and planning out my life for the next couple of days because my dad is going for the weekend so my mom has to do all of the driving and she wants her life planned out....

Crazy Week ahead...

It's looking like I'm going to have a crazy week. For example, tomorrow, between the time of 7:30am and 8:30pm, I will only be home for 3 hours. Yes, in a 13 hour time span, I will only be home for 3 of those hours...however, the rest of the week isn't going to be that bad, but I probably won't be posting 'till like Saturday! Actually, I am considering grounding myself from the internet for the week...

My day went something like this:

7:15 - wake up, get ready to go to church
8:00 - realize that the zipper on the skirt I wanted to wear is busted. So I came up with an ingenious idea: sew myself into the skirt!
8:30 - Go to church at St. Joan of Arc
9:30 - Go to Youth Group at St. Joans
10:15 - leave Youth group early
10:30 go to Mt. Zion service!!
12:15 - walk up to Sactuary
12:20 - hang out in one of the Sunday school rooms with Mark, Colin, and Andee
12:40 - CYMA meeting
2:00 - leave the meeting, and head home, with some detours
3:00 - play pinochle
4:00 - took a walk
5:00 - picked my brother up from the Skaggs house
5:10 - went to visit Maggie, one of the puppies that sold
6:05 - blogged this entry!

So that was my day...in a nutshell...

So I just got back from the MACHE book fair. I got 4 books. 2 of them are in the A Life of Faith: Millie Kieth, one is Phantom of the Opera, and I don't remember the name of the other one. But I've almost finish the two Millie Kieth ones!

Mime last night...got some progress on God of the Promise ...finally! My back was really painful though...So today I am going to a MACHE homeschool book fair...it should be fun! I'll let y'all know how it goes when I get back

sooo

Since I have trouble keeping my Optimsim Intitaitive optimistic, I decided to make another blog. so here it is!

I went dress shopping today...I kinda found something....but not really sure yet...it was fun, but it took FOREVER!!!!!! And then I went to a mime rehearsal...it was fun, and we managed to get a lot done! But now I am thoroughly exhausted....so why I am up writing a blog post instead of sleeping, i have no idea...
