The Pleasures of Being Sick

I have been really sick this weekend! Poor Rachel is bored out of her mind and I haven't really had the energy to do much about it. It has given me a new appreciation for my friend's with toddlers that keep posting about the difficulties of being sick. I must say that I always enjoy being forced to stay home by sickness- even if I am not feeling well. It has been a great opportunity to read this book, which my friend Paige picked for our book club. I laughed because Paige is always apologizing for the outdated cover of the book and the other day my brother picked it up and asked, "do you read romance novels?" Paige, I guess the cover is as bad as you feared. I have really been enjoying this book and I can't wait to discuss it.

The other obsession in my life is LOST. Rachel and I have been spending obscene amounts of time watching seasons 1-3 of this show. We just finished the 3rd season this weekend. I love it!

Well, in spite of these lovely distractions, I must confess that I am ready to feel better now. I was hoping to go to church today, but I could hardly get out of bed, and I don't want to infect anyone else (although it seems like everyone in the world is already sick). I had my own little church service at home and it was good to get refocused. I get really drawn into imaginary worlds when I read, so it is important for me to come up for air.
