I had another boring week of good days and bad days–but with some prescription drugs coming by mail on Monday from my mom I have been able to relax and know I won’t have to go back to feeling completely awful for a while. I still do not feel great but I have been able to go on walks outside or leisurely use my elliptical machine. I have gotten some more school work done and can manage to put some simple things together for myself to eat with out my insides trying to be on the outside. Chad and I had a great day on Saturday and I even had a banana split! It was a miracle. The medications have improved my quality of life dramatically too!

In reality I spent most of the week thinking about the things I want to do when I feel better. I spent a lot of time trying to plan a cruise, for this summer, through the cruise line we went on last April. It has been really frustrating and we are about ready to just drop the whole thing. On a much happier note, my parents spent the week in the Bahamas on a cruise celebrating their 30th anniversary. I have been so excited all week long for them and could not wait to hear all about it. Now Chad and I just want to keep their itinerary and repeat the incredible vacation they had.

Chad has been humbling me by slaughtering me at one of our favorite games, Ticket to Ride. I am a poor loser which makes the evenings after I lose not so fun. Elisa doesn’t like winning either, if she thinks she was about to lose. 🙂 It’s confusing for me to be in the doghouse after I lose a game to her. Ha ha ha ha, I am laughing because it is true. I do not understand it either. We managed to find some great unofficial expansion packs and have spent some evenings printing, cutting and taping maps and cards together. I know that makes us nerds. I just compare myself to the people that created the expansion packs in their free time and I feel better. I pretty much hate one of the versions we put together (it’s the reason why I ended up so mad every night) but the new one we put together is a blast! I like it better than the original and it’s not because I’m winning–I am still losing most of the games we play.
