I hate being sick.
For the past week I was down with the flu and I wanted to die. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m always a crybaby for sickness but it had never gotten as bad as this sickness did. I had fevers all night and day that reached up to 103 degrees and half of the time i was a lone with no one to take care of me. Until this weekend my boyfriend was able to come over and he was here Saturday and Sunday being my nurse.
Oh gosh I am lucky. He was like my angel. Took care of me, and made me forget my sickness. I think that his being here accelerated my path to well being. We were actually talking about marriage and I think we both have the same plans for the relationship. We’ll get engaged during college and when he graduates, he’ll graduate a year after I do, we’ll get married. 
Last night my parents, my boyfriend, and I went to go watch The Dark Knight. It was by far the best movie I’ve seen this summer! My parents decided to watch Step-Brothers instead of The Dark Knight since they’re more comedy oriented but my boyfriend and I will be going with his mom and his brother to watch Step-Brothers this weekend I think. Also tax-free weekend is this weekend so first the lover and I will go with my mom to the outlet shops. hehe We’ve been spending so much time together it’s crazy. And I just keep wanting to spend more and more time with him before I leave which is in 8 days.
Oh for those of you who knew about my work problems, or not, I am not working anymore! My last day was supposed to be Friday but the girl who does the schedules only gave me one day this week so me being a bit upset I called in and said I wouldn’t make it because I’m still sick. Oh well. I was working at McDonalds for 2 years already. About time I quit. I must say though that I will probably go back next summer. It’s an okay job if you want extra cash.
So I found out at the doctors that I lost 15 pounds! I was in shock. Now I’m jumping around to go visit my coach and make fun of him for telling me I’d gain weight if I wasn’t playing Tennis this summer. I miss the sport though. I realized that it doesn’t matter what I do anymore- I’m a competitor. I want to be the best at what I do and I want to be better than others around me. Tennis brought out the fire in me and I can’t believe I didn’t realize it until now. So now I know why every time I wanted to give up Tennis because of my asthma or because I couldn’t get my stroke right I couldn’t bring myself to leave the sport.
I feel like I’m sounding somehow like someone who has just be enlightened or something. This is something different for me hehe I just feel very lucky to have the life I have. Krissa mentioned in a comment on my last post “how can your life be so good? and you’re 18!”. Well I really thought about that and I can’t believe it either! take care you guys

Yikes! I hope you’ll feel better soon! I think I’m getting sick too… =( But yeah, wow, marriage? Good luck with that!
Aww, tax-free weekend?! LUCKY YOU! We only have 1 store here that does that, but that’s not tooo often…
Ooh, and I want to watch Step Brothers too! Have fun watching it!
Anyways, wow, that’s awesome for losing 15 pounds with just tennis! A friend of mine’s wants to lose weight too, and they’ve been playing tennis… Hehe…

It never feels good when you’re sick (that was me stating the obvious). I find that when I’m sick, a lot of sleep and a lot of tea makes me feel better. And, of course, if you’re a Starbucksnut, then a coffee might help you too. Regardless of what cheers you up, I hope you feel better.
Personally, I’ve never had a job before, so I can’t relate as to what being fired feels like. I hope you find another job soon.

Bah, sickness = bad, but having a boyfriend to take care of you is awesome!
I’ve been working for the same company since I was 16, so coming up to three years of ‘labor’ now. But that includes working in two different divisions. Basically, I have no idea what it feels like to quit a job!
I don’t think I’d like to work for McDonald’s. :/ My sister did and hated it with a passion!
I’m co incredibly crap at tennis I should be banned for even picking up a racket!

Congrats on the weight loss!
I really wanna see The Dark Knight. Im not too sure why I havent yet.
It sucks about your flu..doesnt sound like fun at all. I rarely get SUPER, SUPER sick but lately my whole body has been hurting really bad. Bleh.

I really enjoyed The Dark Knight aswell. Of course, I have been a huge Batman fan since I was a child. I hope you have recovered from your sickness well. You are very lucky to have such a caring boyfriend.
I’m very happy for you. I don’t blame you for quitting McDonald’s either. Take care!

Hey, I thought you’d might want to know that there are three blue icons floating down my page every time I scroll. They appear to be a home button, an email button and a feed button.
Aww, that’s so cute how your boyfriend looked after you. I hate having the flu.
The Dark Knight sounds really good. I want to watch it.
