Sick :(

Well…strep throat in the Marshall Islands isn’t very much fun. I started getting sick yesterday and today it is definitely full blown strep…nasty. Luckily there is no school though because of a rainstorm! Anyways, Melissa and I both had a hard day yesterday but made it better by lounging together listening to music and watching movies…very American. We made soup and laid snuggled in bed for a good part of the day – only getting out of bed to go use the phone when the rain stopped for a little bit every now and then. She was supposed to go home last night but because of the rain and just really not wanting to, she stayed again. I actually really liked that because I felt horrible and it was nice to have someone here. I had a pretty big fever during the night and Simbe and my mom took care of me – which was really nice. They rubbed my feet and put a cold washcloth on my face “massaging the fever out” as they said and stayed with me until I fell asleep. It definitely wasn’t like lying in mom’s bed when you’re sick, but it was still nice. It felt really good.

Today I woke up though with double the number of white spots in my throat and feel horrible. I think I will head to the doctor to get some medicine when the pick up comes – so I am hoping it does.

Melissa and I have been sitting plotting how excited we are to go to Majuro in two weeks. Its not that I don’t love it here – I actually don’t really like Majuro that might – but it is definitely nice to get internet and cold things and normal food for a couple days at a time every now and then. I like the outer island simplicity…but a little flare every now and then is never a bad thing.

Well, the next time I write will probably be from Majuro ☺ I hope everyone is doing well and I miss everyone tons. Xoxo
