Hello to my readers, this past Saturday was one of those rare days where I actually wanted to go ahead and hang with my friends in this cold Ada weather. The weather was surprisingly not that bad for winter, and after a couple weeks of freezing temperatures, the weather made it feel like we were slowing but surely getting to spring. I was looking forward to hanging out with my close friends, especially since we usually didn’t have the time because we all don’t go to school at ONU so we haven’t had a chance to catch up in a while.
We decided to meet up at one of our favorite spots to eat in Ada called El Campo as the name might suggest it is a Mexican restaurant. It’s one of those places in Ada that actually feels like you can just be calm and have a good time. With the smell of sizzling fajitas and spices in the air, we grabbed a table at campo that was in a pretty good spot. We spent hours chatting about life and how things have been for us in school and out. We laughed constantly as we shared funny stories and jokes, some of us catching up on the latest news while some just enjoyed the time of us getting to hang this weekend. .
We ended the evening by going out to a party at my friend's house. It was a small get together but there were still enough people for everyone to have a good time and for people to create long lasting memories. After that I was feeling pretty worn out but in a good way. Now with the day over I was looking forward to Sunday so I can have a day to relax and recharge.
But when I woke up Sunday morning I was met with a curveball. I woke up with a sore throat, a headache that felt like it was banging into my skull, and a heavy feeling of exhaustion. At first, I thought it was maybe just a little tiredness from the night before. But as the day went on, I realized it wasn’t just that. The flu had hit me HARD.
I spent the entire day curled up on the couch with a blanket, a cup of tea, while I had to watch the super bowl alone because I didn’t want my friends to be sick. It’s insane how quickly things can change. At one moment, I’m out enjoying the weekend with my close friends, and the next, I was fighting for my life with these flu symptoms. Hopefully, it won’t last long and I can get back to hanging out with my friends next Saturday, hopefully feeling better!
While it's no fun being sick, at least you got to spend some time with your friends. Nate and Linnea, my two best friends from high school, are in opposite directions for college, so we only get winter break and spring break together. It's so nice being able to just enjoy time together and catch up on life, so I'm jealous of that part...maybe not the being sick as much.
