A Wrinkle In Time

Last Friday, I woke up with a sore throat and my symptoms accumulated into a ball of yuckiness (that’s probably not a word) and it hit me in the face and I’ve been sick ever since. I don’t get get sick too often, but when I do, I get hit pretty hard. The other day my Mom brought home some chocolate chip cookies and I took two of them and after eating the first one I asked her if she wanted the other one and she was like your stopping at one? Ya, I lost my appetite and food just doesn’t taste all that great when your sick. Usually, I take a whole handful of cookies…
I’ve noticed that the weather got cold and gross just about at the same time that I got sick. You might see this is as a coincident, but I don’t. Maybe God didn’t want me to miss out on the nice weather having to be stuck inside being sick and all so he made the weather sick as well or maybe my body has some crazy supernatural way of interacting with the weather.
Hmm…I’m not very good with transitioning from one paragraph to another. I guess you can’t have cookies with out the milk right? So here’s the rest of the story…I have a brother and he makes me laugh. Two weeks ago he called home telling us that he broke his phone by dropping it into a glass of milk. HAHA I’ve heard of people dropping their phones in the lake, the toilet, etc. but a glass of milk??? My Mom was like that was one expensive glass of milk! Yesterday he called and said that he had to leave work to go to the hospital to have a piece of rubber taken out of his ear. Apparently he was listening to music on his break and part of his headphones stayed in his ear when he took them out. I can’t stop laughing about this. Poor kid. I know that every once in awhile I make stupid make mistakes too, but I think his are funnier.

I think that I can be a piker at times. Maybe we all have those piker moments.

Sometimes when I go walking I feel like I’m a rotary chicken because on the way out, the sun is hitting my back, and then I turn down a different road and it hits my left side and then I turn down another road and it hits me in the face and then on the last stretch of road to home it hits me on my right side. On cooler days the warmth of the sun feels really good and I’ve learnt that it is better to walk towards it then to walk away from it.

Last weekend my friends and I went kite flying. It was fun. The sun was bright with this strange ring around it. Johnny Cash would have been proud. It reminded me of his song that he sings about a burning ring of fire. “I fell into a burning ring of fire, I went down down down and the flames went higher and it burns burns burns…”
