Since I've been fairly busy these past few weeks with school and tutoring and other things, I couldn't help but think again and again how nice it would be to spend one full day in bed doing nothing but sleeping. But, unfortunatly for me, even when I do have free time, I feel guilty wasting it on TV or sleeping and have even gotten into the crazy habit of setting my alarm for 9 or 10am on Saturday mornings!

Well, my dream of guiltless sloth came true this week. On Wednesday morning, during my class, I began to feel not-so-good. By the time I got home I was in pain from head to toe! Headache, sore throat that felt like i'd swallowed a baseball...Every muscle in my body ached (even some wierd little chin muscle i didn't know existed!) So, I thought I'd take a short nap before I headed out to the gym and then to my other plans for the evening. I never made it. I didn't get out of bed again until about 11am Thursday morning...when I just got up to break my afternoon plans. Back to bed. Later I was feeling quite a bit better so I decided to venture out to my Swedish class in the evening. Big mistake. After class I headed straight for bed again with the same headache and sore throat i thought I'd gotten rid of earlier. And, another 16 hours of sleep later...I could hardly swallow tea this morning so I didn't make it to class.

So, I've been sitting around the house for 3 guilt-free days now, sleeping, watching TV, reading a book...all of the things I'd dreamed of doing before...and it's terrible! I'm bored to tears, watching Oprah, getting bed sores, my room stinks because it's too cold to open a window, I'm hungry, there's no one to make me soup and my soup is gross, and I can't stop thinking about all the things I've missed out on (although I'm pretty sure there was nothing too extra-ordinary, I'll never know now, will I?)

But, I'm sure next week or in another two weeks or so, I'll be wishing again for just one day to spend sleeping...
