When the Rain Comes...

I was listening to my Pandora station today while I did some things around the house. (If you've never heard of Pandora before, check it out! www.pandora.com You can create a station made of songs that you love.) The Third Day song came on "When the Rain Comes." I hadn't heard that song since my college years, I think! It was very appropriate for how I was feeling today, though, so I added it on my blog. Feel free to take a listen.
Some of the "rain" I have had lately...
Well, I have been sick since Thursday night. And it's the sort of sickness that you cannot do anything else but sleep. My skin was achy, my head was achy, I had a fever, I was coughing, sneezing, and just over all yucky. I am thinking that maybe (just maybe) it is subsiding now.
Today is the first day I was up and doing things since I felt sick. I was pretty sure I was getting better. However, I ate a late lunch/early supper and since then I've felt sick to my stomach. New problems.
I got into a little spat with my dad last night. I hate it when that happens. I hope I can blame it on my not feeling well... and maybe he'll understand.
One of my sisters doesn't really talk to me. I guess that's her choice and I need to respect that. But this weekend I have been trying to get her daughter's birthday gift ready to send out (she turns one this week), and in doing so I realize that Jeff hasn't even met this niece! Not only that, but I wondered what all her other kids think of me... if they really know me or ask about me or anything. It just made me sad.
In being sick, I missed out on orchestra and praise team in church this morning... both of which I was supposed to be part of. I feel really bad when I have to cancel things like that. And then deep down I wonder what people think of me for it.
It has been gorgeous weather out, and I've missed the entire weekend because I've been sick. That makes me sad. I wish I could've been outside enjoying it.
We were going to have an older couple from church over for supper tomorrow night. We were really looking forward to it. But since my cold persisted as long as it did, we canceled. I didn't want to invite them into a germy house.
Last but not least... we have nasty bugs in our cabinets. I noticed them in our apartment, and I guess they moved here with us. I had to throw away a lot of the food, and I hope I got it all cleaned out now. It's just gross and annoying... and also really sad.
So... that's my rainy day story on a gorgeous Sunday night.
