My Monolog

One of the guys I work with was giving me grief for coming to work at 2:00pm one afternoon, and he thought he would continue to be funny and tried using the word "mono" as many times in a sentence as he could. I will admit some of them were pretty funny.


At any rate, yes my mono is still here rearing its ugly head. I am now only sleeping about 12 hours a day, but there have been some days when I have slept 23 hours. I keep thinking I am getting better, and really I think I am but not fast enough. I often get frustrated with myself because of all of the things I am not accomplishing just because I can't due to lack of energy. Some days just getting in the shower takes everything I have. I am hoping that I will work at least 15 hours this week, and that will be a big deal. I have been really blessed with a patient boss who is allowing me to do what I can. I feel bad for my little young women and the leaders I serve with. They really should release me and call my little sister. Bless Stefs heart! She has really came in and saved my bacon the last month with my calling. Anytime I need anything done I call her. She was even patient and taught me to backstich.


I have not just been sleeping the last month though, the day before I found out I had mono I bought plane tickets for my Mom and my sweet niece Kaelee to come up and see me from Arizona. Poor Kaelee, she thought it was going to be a fun weekend but instead she had to deal with tired aunt Bec, again thanks to Stef. We did manage to get all of Kaelee's school shopping done, she is such a pretty chica that it was fun to shop with her. Of course everything looks good on her and left me wishing I was skinny again. We also got to go to the temple open house with them. It is such a pretty temple! I hope that the Temple will become an important part of Kaelee's life someday.

The other fun thing I did was take a trip with Stef to Tempe to see Wicked,the Broadway musical with my sisters Shell & Heather & my cousin Lamar. I have wanted to go for years and there was no way I was going to miss it (Especially since I bought the tickets in April) It was a fun weekend. Again, I was the party pooper who slept the whole weekend, but I was glad I went. I was pretty tired during the show and probably didn't enjoy it as much as I could have, but I am glad I went. Maybe someday when I have energy again I will post some of my thoughts about it. My Favorite songs were of course For Good & Defying Gravity.

I hope this finds you all well. Remember to laugh, some days its all we can do.

These experiences, while often difficult to bear at the time, are precisely the kinds of experiences that stretch our understanding, build our character, and increase our compassion for others." ~ Joseph B.
