I don't like being sick

In fact, I hate being sick. Having to lay here on the couch, or worse, in bed, all alone, while everyone else is out having fun... not my idea of a good time.

I woke up this morning with a fever (really, I took my temperature and it was about 100F!), and a horrible headache and achy body and drippy nose. Not fun, especially since we have this big group in for two days, and I have so much to do to take care of them! I did a few trips to the airport today and managed to get the guesthouse ready for them, but I had to sit out our "church" service tonight and I'm currently missing a huge Ethiopian feast. All I'm doing is laying on the couch, watching West Wing and sweating. Really, no fun at all. And it's making me grumpy.

But that being said, it's pretty amazing that I get sick as rarely as I do in this place. It has been a pretty tough few weeks for sickness, though, as I had a gooey eye infection last week, and now this :(

I'm off to drink some more mango juice in hopes that the hydration and the vitamins will help me get well for tomorrow - because I really don't like being sick :(
