Susan's Road Trip to California--Continued

This is probably the longest road trip EVER. Before it ends back in Texas next year sometime I will have experienced many things from ecstatic spiritual highs to deep humility and pain. In the end I will come out stronger and knowing more than ever. My TX pastor said it best--I have a great CAPACITY to grow spiritually. If only it weren't so hard to do. If only you could fail alone.

What a fun night I had—ha! I went to bed with my annoying flu at 8:30—I mean to sleep right away. Around midnight I woke up feeling nauseas. Sometimes like in the mornings when I take vitamins but have not eaten solid food I feel that and so I have actually gotten used to it! But this was different. I got up to go to the restroom where I had left the heater on because I was freezing and shivering and just about as soon as I stood, I knew I was about to get rid of all that food. It was so awful. But then I wasn’t feeling nauseas anymore—at least it didn’t continue! So I went back to bed. Every time I woke up I would take my temperature. It actually was 102 early this morning! Last count was just over 100. I got up and thought I could go to work—I felt so much better. Then I stood up. Nope! I didn’t trust myself to drive even. I am SICK. I wish Robin were here to bring my Chocolate Cherry Bombs.

So I am missing work and losing serious money but I couldn’t go—I can’t tell you the last time I was this sick—many years ago. I am a bit concerned about packing but I guess if nothing else Randy can take the big stuff and boxes and I can just move the little stuff alone. I don’t know. All I know is that I feel so crummy I can’t believe it.

I am hoping that since I can’t do anything but sit and lay I will have a great day of reading and writing and praying. That would definitely be a redeeming quality.
