Sick

I was so excited to work my 3 nights this week, have 5 days off (so awesome) and post about some things I'm in love with but life had other plans and I ended up leaving work early Monday night and going to the ER quite sick. Thankfully I work at a hospital and have amazing friends and coworkers who took fantastic care of me because my ER adventure was nothing like the show (oh how I miss that show). Long story short I was diagnosed with weakness and given a hand out about it, which, as a intensive care nurse I found a little insulting. All of this to say, I went home, slept a ton, went back to work Tuesday night and now I'm full blow sick with either a flu virus or a bad cold. And its not fun. I've now decided this is why people should get married (you know, besides the love and all)...to not be alone when you're sick. And, have you ever noticed that if you're alone and sick its always falls on days when you have no groceries in your home? Alright, I'm complaining too much so I'm going to stop now. I'm going to cheer myself up with things that I'm loving right now.
This beautiful bracelet I bought from Macy's. It was designed by Rachel Bilson to raise money for diamond producing countries in Africa. Part of the proceeds go to building schools, hospitals, and supporting the areas where diamonds are mined. It was featured in In Style magazine. 

These fantastic flowers my Mom send me last week for helping take care of her after her knee surgery. They were a wonderful surprise, and who doesn't love fresh flowers.

This fun cork holder a lovely girlfriend gave me for my birthday last year. Its from a winery in Temecula and I just love it.

Alright, that just took me 45 minutes to do in my cold medicine hocked up state. I'm off to bed again. I hope this finds all of you feeling better. And if you have and tips for staying positive when you're sick, let me know.
