famous last words: just make it through

This week was a rough week. On top of Hurricane Harvey this past week, Hurricane Irma, Jose, and Katia are all doing damage on my roommate's hometown, Florida. With this news also came the news of her father having stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma which has spread to his liver. Luckily, her father come in town to surprise her and gets to stay for a week since all of the airports in Florida are closed. 

Being one that gets sick easily from stressors, I have been sick since Thursday night and have never had it this bad. I went to the doctor thinking it might be strep or mono, but it's just another stress bug I have given myself. 

I am working on relaxing which has been extremely hard given the fact that I missed class on Friday (which I never do), had to miss my Class Council retreat on Saturday, and have a Physics 2 exam on Wednesday coming up. Not to mention the fact this it is my sweet boyfriend's birthday today and I wish I could have the energy to celebrate him, but I really don't. He understands and has been helping me relax, but I still want to shower him with birthday fun as I LOVE to celebrate other people.

At this point, I am trying my best to just make it through Wednesday because my family and my boyfriend's family get in Thursday. I can't wait to celebrate the stress lessening this weekend with all of my loved ones!
