I haven't written in quite a while. I have been sick the last week. I went to work the first two of my three shifts with my runny nose and stuffy head. At about midnight on Thursday night at work, I started losing my voice. Today is Monday and it is starting to come back. So, I called in sick on Friday. When I woke up Friday at noon, it was completely gone. It was so lame to not be able to talk. And almost every time I tried, my sweet husband made fun of me. It was nice to have the extra day off. I was able to sleep and relax. Shane and I went to the movies on Saturday and saw Spider-man and went out to eat, so I didn't have to cook (probably the nicest part of the day!) I went to the used book store and got a few books. I just finished reading My Antonia by Willa Cather. I did enjoy the story and it also gives the reader insight as to what it was like for immigrants from Europe out on the frontier in the late ninteenth, early twentieth centuries. I am now reading Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells, a book I have wanted to read for some time. I also bought another Amy Tan book...I like her books a lot. So, that will probably be next. My parents are coming to visit the end of this month. It will be nice to have visitors. I can't believe it's already May. We will have been here a year the end of this month! Can you believe it?
