still sick

I'm still sick, and trying different medications. Gah. Hope this goes away soon 'cause I'm tired and sore and I can't sleep when I have a cold. Blech.

Went home for the day to visit my parents, and that was really nice. Mom took me out to lunch, and Dad made me steak and potatos for dinner. Yum. Per my request, of course.

Dad asked that I clean out my closet in my bedroom while I was home, so he could put it to some use. There was stuff in there I hadn't seen in YEARS, including report cards from first and second grade, a note from my first boyfriend, a few years' worth of purses and backpacks, and art projects. It was rather nostalgic and kinda fun. Except the cleaning part. I could have lived without that.

I did bring back a lot more stuff than I planned on bringing, but some of it I'll be able to use for my portfolio to get into the college of education here on campus.

I risked driving home in the dark for a delicious home-cooked meal, and saw about 8 deer in the median at one spot on the Interstate, and something in the middle of the road that had already been hit, which I almost hit, and swerved to avoid. I never thought of myself as a swerver, and was rather frightened. Yikes. I was so scared it cleared up my sinuses and ears for a bit. 'Til I calmed down.
