Leon felt so bad for me yesterday that he went and picked a big bunch of lilacs for me.  I have them by the bed and our room smells so good!!!!

This year's weather might not be real exciting but all 3 of my lilac bushes have flowers.  In fact, one bush I planted 10+ years ago, tried so many times to die on me, and this year it tripled in size and for the first time has flowers.  I was ready to give up on it, but it is growing.  The bushes are also spreading this year.  We won't dig up the babies though because we want the main bushes to keep growing stronger. 

Yesterday was so rough!  I woke up about 5am running a fever, and couldn't fall back to sleep right away.  After a couple hours, I was then able to sleep until 10am.  It took all my strength to just roll over, so I knew there was no way I was going to be getting out of bed anytime soon.  It was around noon when my fever broke and shortly thereafter my lymph nodes started to swell big time.  It was my joints they went after yesterday.  

It was around 5 or 6 pm, I mustered up the strength to do my 135 squats.  I also did some stretching.  I hurried to get them done as I still had no real energy to be up and around.  With my joints flared up, my knees and hips were crying for every squat I did.  But somehow I got through it.  I haven't attempted them yet as I am trying to get caught up on my emails and what not.  

Lauren worked her buns off for mom's garage sale.  Well, it wasn't just mom's but it was some of the other tenants as well.  Lauren was the cashier for it.  So she spent the whole day in the sun... not to mention setting up and then after cleaning up.  then after they were done, Lauren and Megan went to go see the new Superman movie.  So at least she was able to go have some fun after having to endure all of that.

Being so sick as I was, I have no idea what else when on yesterday.  And as for today, I have already done my Bible reading and ministry.  The only thing left is to do my 140 squats, hope it goes better than yesterday.  Right now I am sooo tired, as I feel like I haven't slept.  Actually I didn't sleep very well.  Plus the weather isn't helping with my headache and fatigue.  Maybe later I will have a tad bit more energy and will be able to do those squats.
