Happy New Year!

Well I guess I got a head start on the age old new year's resolution to drop a few pounds.... on January second I got the stomach flu.... sure helped me out of some of the holiday weight. Ok, all kidding aside, this year is only 3 days old and It has already seen ups and downs. Like having a blast hanging out with friends on New Year's Day and then waking up early the next morning so sick I thought I was going to die (or at least I wished I would but was afraid I wouldn't). I got so dehydrated that i was dizzy every time I moved and my kidneys were killing me. But thanks to finally being able to hold something down, and Ashley's gift of Gatorade and crackers I pulled through the second day of January and made it to the third. I was still feeling rather ill (and my fever hadn't broken till that morning) so I called off work and spent the day in bed again, except that I made an appointment to get a new eye prescription. So I went to Lenscrafters to have my appointment and get new contacts/glasses. I can't believe how much I wasn't seeing! The change in my prescription is so much that wearing the new lenses still feels a little weird. It was supposed to take and hour to get my glasses made so I went down to bath and body works to look around their big sale and by the time I was done there (maybe ten minutes) I was so wiped out all I wanted was to find someplace to sit! I cannot believe how much throwing up and not eating can suck so much out of you for so long! I don't know how all the super models do it! Also on the third of January, I moved on to semi solid food -- I had soup! ( I guess crackers are solid but they don't count as food). Oh and my new battery for my camera came in the mail (did I mention that the four month old battery of my new camera died and would not recharge? Yeah, I'm still bitter about that). I am so excited to be able to take pictures again. Maybe I'll take one of me in my new cute glasses. So I am supposed to be back at work already but due to my illness I could not go back when I was supposed to... The fourth (I guess that's later today) should be my first day back, but because of how weak I still feel even after just fifteen minutes of walking in the mall, and not entirely back on real food I just don't think I can do it yet. I will definitely go Monday but I think I need just one more day of sickness.
