So much for this weekend!

So I had psyched myself up to go to that Arts Ed workshop right? Well, it didn't exactly happen.

On Thursday I got home from curling practice and I was making myself some supper, when all of a sudden my stomach started burning. I managed to eat a sandwich and vacuum my house, then the stomach flu hit. It seems that ever since I got that Norwalk virus a few years ago I've been getting really nasty stomach flus. This one was almost as bad as the one I had at Thanksgiving, and that one was BAD.

I was so relieved when Sean showed up on Friday night. He called before he left to see if he could pick anything up. He brought me soup, crackers and ginger ale. He is such a sweetheart! He took care of me all weekend too, which is a pretty big deal because he generally doesn't have sympathy for people who get sick. Must be nice to get sick once every 3 years (although since he met me he's been sick quite a few times... sorry!).

We were going to drive in to the nearby "city" for something to do and for me to pick up some much needed groceries and supplies, but when I could hardly stand up in the shower for 2 minutes I decided it was probably not the best idea to go out shopping. Instead we spent a REALLY lazy weekend here in town.

This morning I woke up feeling pretty good. The highlight of my day is that I drove around town in Sean's manual car with him for awhile (stalling only once!) and then... I drove by MYSELF! He insisted that I go for a spin alone and I must admit, I do feel a lot more empowered now that I did it on my own. I just did a big loop around a couple of blocks but I forced myself to drive near the rink, where I knew there would be people, and to drive down Main Street.

This weekend, little crap town... next weekend, Saskamatoon! Watch out sidewalks, here I come!
