Seasick

T5B: 1) I made it to church! 2) I haven't thrown up today (though once again, feels like "yet" - last night I did end up throwing up one more time :/). 3) The weather has been really nice today (warm sun but cool air). 4) I got to skype my family. 5) I know I can be with my family again.

basal temp: 36.11 (just took my temp for fun: 35.87)

Morning:
- woke up before my alarm (30 mins)
- got ready for church
- rode my bike to church (lately that's been getting harder and harder as I become more and more exhausted)
- church was good (about being a member missionary - both Sacrament mtg and Sunday School)

Notes: I brought some vegemite for Elder Norawong and his two sons. LOL He was NOT grateful. He said to me, "Do you know how much food I had to eat to get the taste of that crap off my tongue!?"

Afternoon:
- skyped my family
- received bad news
- got to chat with my sisters for a bit
- wanted to continue talking to my family, but felt really gross and needed to go home
- ate a little food at home

Notes: Today I found out that my mom's older sister had an aneurysm. I was still in shock about it. My poor mom. It feels a little unreal from so far away - and I hadn't had the chance to talk to my aunt for a while, but she was always kind to me. She was sarcastic, crazy, and fun. I'm so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know I will see and be with my aunt again. In the meantime, I will be praying for comfort for those closest to her. I'm grateful she was part of my family and I am grateful for the good memories I have of time spent with her. Miss you already Aunt Joyce and see you on the other side.

Evening:
- had a massive meltdown
- ate some dinner
- was able to talk to Jerod

Notes: The meltdown? It finally HIT me. I wish I could have been there for my mom. I'm glad she has the rest of the family there with her though!

I can't believe tomorrow is the last day of September... it's been a weird month for me - a painful blur.

On a lighter note, Jerod told me a funny story. He got up this morning, ironed his church clothes at his friend's house and then drove to church. It's only when he got there that he realized, "It's Saturday!" When he went back to his friend's house he asked him, "Dude! Why didn't you tell me it was Saturday!?" "I thought you were Jewish or something." LOL My tummy is unhappy tonight, but I'm ok. Hoping to feel better tomorrow. :/ Hope you're doing well (and those of my family - hope you are feeling comforted. I am praying for you!). XOXO, A

My bruises continue to look spectacular but I decided to spare you all - here is my sleep for last night. I have felt half asleep all day. I have this thing where when I am dissatisfied with the way my day went, I have a REALLY hard time getting to sleep. It's like my body and mind need something good or exciting or productive to happen or they don't want to admit the day is over. That being said, I did NOT get enough sleep. I have been yawning all day. :/
