The Universe was Angry with Me

I decided that this past week that the Universe must have been upset with me. Yes, it's true, I don't know what I did to it but it was not happy with me. I'll tell you all why.
Monday I go to work and my eye is all crazy looking like Quasimodo from Hunchback of Notre Dame. I didn't have the whole back issue just the crazy eye. My friend at work decided to just call me Q. It didn't help that I had to sit in with the first grade while they were taking TCAP. I was at a table with the ADD/ADHD kids. You all know, I love kids. I always have and I'm sure I alway will but I was having a hard time sending love to these kids. Anyways, I leave work, go walk with Nina and go home for the evening. Mom asked if I only wore makeup on one eye. Of course not, I barely put any on, due to the eye, and I guess with all the drainage from the one it totally wore off. So I pretty much looked ridiculous.
Tuesday, my eye looks worse and decided to forgo the makeup all together. I have never went to work with makeup and hated it. I talked to the principal at the beginning of the day and asked if I could leave after TCAP that day. She said absolutely, I looked pretty bad, so I stayed for 3 hours and then went to the Dr. I had an eye infection and I was able to get some eye drops for this. Nice, I was so happy.
Wednesday, I wake up feeling horrible. Seriously, horrible. This continues for the rest of the week. As do the TCAP test. Really!?!?! I just went to the Dr. and I wasn't in the mood to go back. So I kept thinking I would just get better, but ofcourse the universe said no and I stayed sick. I sleep horrible Friday night and during the night looked up the time Convenient Care opened so I could get there immediately when they open.
I went to the Dr. first thing Saturday morning. Two shots later and a Zpack I was ready for the rest of the day. I drove and met Nae to get the girls and have them come and stay the night with me. So much fun. What usually would take 1.5 hours roundtrip took closer to 2.25. Construction but whatever. We went to mom and dad's and played outside, I mowed and life was good. I was already starting to feel better. I hate being sick and def. do not want it interupt my schedule so I try to go about and do things regardless.
So besides being sick the universe also decided that I was going to miss every phone call that I really wanted to take. I did not like that, at all. I do appreciate that during the week whenever I wanted to get grumpy or mad I was constantly reminded of my Heavenly Father's love for me. I know he loves me and knows me perfectly. So even though the universe was mad, I was constantly reassured of this perfect love. And this made the week very tolerable. I have had this feeling for the past few weeks. And I believe it all came from me asking my dad for a blessing. I rarely ask for blessings and I wasn't sick I just thought a little reassurance, comfort and guidance would be nice. And it really helped! Nothing profound was said but it was such a comfort to me. I am so lucky to have dad around and that he holds the priesthood!
Anyways, church yesterday was great. I was able to go to the Jackson Ward and got to see some people that I love love love. It's always fun to see these people! And then I headed to the Branch which I also love love love. Relief Society was on Eternal Marriage and at first I was like, really we have to hear this again. What can possibly be said that I haven't heard a hundred times. I did learn something. The teacher was saying, even if you never get married, preparing will not hurt. It will still better you. I really liked that and thought it held true in different areas. I ended up staying at the church until 8 that night talking to different people. It was great. I did not really have a filter yesterday, a mouth filter so word vomit was coming out. I hate days like that, the type of day where you forget to think before you speak. Those days are not good. I'm glad they don't come very often.
So I hope the universe is kind this week. I hope my stars are perfectly aligned. I feel as if this week is going to be awesome. I just feel it. I fly to Laura's wedding on Thursday, I'm so excited to see her and that she is getting married! She deserves it (but then again most people do!)
I'm sure you all will hear all about this trip.
