To explain the title, when something makes Ainsley feel sick, she says "That sickens me." For some reason that makes me laugh. I had to look the term up just to make sure, but it mostly means "to disgust," although its secondary meaning is to show the signs of an illness. So, in Ainsley's terms, this has been a sickening week.
I started to get a sore throat on Monday afternoon, it got worse on Tuesday, Wednesday I woke up, planning to cancel class. I thought I needed to get a few things from my office, so I was heading over there right before 7:00 and noticed that all the lights in Rexburg appeared to be off. The power outage caused class cancellations, so I came right back home and vegged all day. Mom made me some soup, Dad cleared my driveway.
Thursday I woke up feeling even worse, so I cancelled class again and skipped my meeting and my PhD class. I was thrilled to hear that our PhD class is not meeting again this semester and that the final is an open book take-home. I just might pass the class if that's the case. Still have a paper to write too.
I went back to class on Friday, although I still had very little voice. That night I went to Kory's. Maddy and Isaac put up the tree. Kory and I took Chloe and Caleb to a concert where Kory had been asked to read Luke 2. After that we took the kids to Arctic Circle and then they helped decorate the tree.
Saturday I just sat around, still feeling pretty yucky. That night Kory and I and the kids had tickets to the BYUI Christmas concert, but Kory's pipes were frozen and he was waiting for the plumber to come, so I ended up taking Kristi's kids at the last minute. Most of them were asleep by halfway through the concert, but Ellie and I stayed awake for the whole thing. Later, we met Kristi at Arctic Circle and had a treat.
So, the week has kind of been a wash, although I did get a good amount of grading done. Only two weeks to go.
