One of the worst things about being sick, or at least being extremely sick, is that even when you begin to feel better your mind still feels like it is full of cobwebs. Maybe this isn't the case for everyone but it certainly is for me. I woke up this morning to severe chest congestion, pain in my ears and a fever of over 100 degrees. I went to see the doctor who promptly drugged me up in an effort to alleviate my symptoms. I followed the doctor's orders and went back to sleep after taking my medicine and ever since my fever broke around noon today I have felt much better. At least now I feel like I can function albeit a little more slowly than on a normal day.
Despite feeling better my head is still very cloudy (probably a side effect of having four different drugs in my system at the same time) and I feel like I want to do something at least somewhat productive. Nothing big, but something like doing the dishes, or folding the laundry. It would be wonderful if I can find the energy to finish my homework for today since I just got caught up yesterday and don't really want to fall behind again, but let's not be too hasty after all.
All in all I may not get anything done today which bothers me, but in return I should be feeling much better by the time I wake up tomorrow morning for class. Well, I hope I'm feeling much better by the morning at least.

This Week Should Be Better
I am pretty sure that no matter what this week will be much less stressful than last week; or at least it better be because I was not a very happy person for most of last week.
It is snowing again today which seems ridiculous to me. There cannot possibly be an explanation for why we need to have a snow flurry every five or six hours. I would love it to just warm up and stay that way from now on. This has been a very cold and very long winter for me and since I am convinced I suffer from some mild form of seasonal depression it would be great to get this dreary weather over with.
I've got big plans to get things done over the next seven days. They include finishing all of my homework before Saturday, working a complete 20 hours for the first time in awhile, spending a little time doing a bit of creative writing to post on Writers Block, watching the BYU basketball game on Wednesday if possible, attending the meeting for Impact Magazine on campus to try and get some technical writing experience, doing some pushups, getting the water pump fixed on the car and likely about seventeen other great ideas that I can't remember at the moment. If I accomplish half of this list I'll feel pretty good, more than that and I'll be puffing my chest out like nobody's business. Oh, and on top of all that I have a floor hockey game to play goalie in as well.

Frosting On My Car
This morning, despite many warnings by the weatherman, I was not happy to wake up to find snow covering the ground and falling from the sky. I am just one of those people who thinks that once the weather decides to warm up it should not regress down into bitter cold again. It simply isn't fair if you ask me. On a funnier side of my world being blanketed in the evilest white I've ever seen is that when I went out to clean off the car I found the snow to be so heavy and moist that I felt as though I were scraping off the excess frosting from a cake. It was an awkward feeling I promise.
I've almost completed all of the homework previously left behind in a fit of wanton abandon which is improving my mood. Of course, Holly has ways of improving my mood so she fixed my very, very, very bad day I was having yesterday by allowing me to skip a class and spend time with her instead.
There was a massive brawl during the Ottawa-Buffalo game last night over a late hit on the Sabres team captain Chris Drury (formerly of intensely popular Avalanche fame). It started a full on melee after the next face-off which was capped by Ray Emery and Martin Biron duking it out at center ice. Something about the level of loyalty between players in hockey is what makes me like this game so much. If someone messes with your goalie there is no hesitation, you make sure and let them know you are there. The same thing goes when someone puts a headhunter out on your star player during the game which is what happened last night. No mercy folks, hockey is for the big boys who aren't scared to get into a scrap.

Yep, I'm Tired Today
I woke up this morning and was not looking forward to the day ahead. As a matter of fact, I'm still not looking forward to today much at all. I just feel kind of stressed the last couple of days but I can't pinpoint why, so I'm trying to just not worry about it much.
I had homework to do last night and I got most of it done before it was due in class today, but it meant that I had to stay up a little later than normal to finish. I didn't think I would have much trouble staying up late, but now that Holly and I have a routine of heading to bed between 10:30 and 11:00 it was a little more difficult than I imagined so I am running on an empty tank of gas with too many things to do today. I'll make it though, no worries.

Goal Accomplished
Well, one of my main goals for the past couple of weeks has been to score an actual goal for the ward floor hockey team. I accomplished that last night (albeit against a team of girls). I was looking forward to playing a team that might challenge us a little bit, but still give me the chance to make some saves if for nothing more than practice sake. However, what wound up happening is that the girls knew what they were doing and were very organized but our team just out muscled them for the most part. I played goalie for the first two periods and faced a grand total of zero shots, so in the third period I wanted to go and get in on the action seeing as how the team had never scored a goal before.
Next week the tournament starts and I'll be back to playing goalie for the whole game which is something I thoroughly enjoy and I really hope now that we have figured out how to score we can put some points on the board and actually contend with a win or two. That would be a lot of fun for me because I really do like playing.
Tonight Holly and I have our first official non-family member get-together/dinner with another couple from the ward. We are going to have some delicious dinner followed by a movie at the dollar theater.
