Fastforward a little.
After last night's services I drove to our friend's house and as I was driving I thought, "hmmmm...I don't feel so good." You know the kind. Like the extroverted person who is more interested in going home and lying down. Sooooo not like me. People? Where? (rubs hands together)
I went to their house anyway, cause I wanted to; I ate, chatted and actually felt a little bit better.
Fastforward a little more...
5:30am I wake up. My body is involuntarily shaking itself in waves. Again, you know what I'm talking about. Freezing cold, sweating like fat guy eating mexican - like that. I HATE that. Doens't happen too often. So I take some ibuprofen and know, "I must have the flu."
Whatryoogunnado?
So Heather got up and took care of me for a little while (love being married to her, by the way). She then got me up at about 7:45am. We had to be at church at 8:15am for rehearsal and two services at 9 and 10:45am. So off we went. But somehow I still managed to look awesome. I know, weird. It's like I can't control it or something. Oh well. But I felt like this...
I felt like...like I was still me, but something was juuuusssstt not quite right. There was ringing in my ears. And I needed NO ONE to touch me cause it hurt. Like that. Like some real big person had picked me up by the feet and beat me up against a brick wall like I was an empty christmas wrapping paper roll. Yes, that's exactly how I felt. But, press on. So two services later, I felt...not so bad really...but knew it would be coming with a vengance that afternoon. It was great, though, singing words like "Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord," and "In You, in You I find my strength!" I knew God was getting me through. He is always looking out for me.
So I went home, climbed into bed and have remained there until now. I've emerged from "Flu Room" to infect our computer room. Ev keeps pointing at me and saying, "sick boy!" She's cute. I've almost watched an entire cycle of ANTM. Why do I love that show? It's even better when you're sick.
Oh, and just so you know, I will be a non-blogger from July 3 - July 14 (vacating) So Amy, you'll need to let me know that I won by Tuesday!

hahaha!! those marathons of ANTM are the best!! :) hilarious.
matt...i already won...sorry.
i'm impressed that you could go on like you did...for God and all that. i was waiting for the end...where you puked all over the stage. that's where i thought it was going!
ditto katie...I thought there was gonna be some grandiose finish to that little flu story...at the very least coughing up some kind of ferret or an alien part...pooping yourself, passing out...something!
if you want to garner more sympathy...amp it up a bit next time ok?
Actually, I died. Better?
I bet with puke on your face and poop in your pants you would still look amazing - am I right!
when people are sick...don't you just want to kick 'em, hurt 'em or maybe just make them fall down by tripping them as they are on their way to vomit in the toilet? I would never do that to you ;)
feel better! Anon Wee
I really thought your story was going to be bigger too! I was on the edge of the computer chair wondering what happened and then BAM......you were in bed until now. I hope you feel better! Ibuprofen helps so much doesn't it?
