My mom stopped by the house to bring me a Mucinex, and she felt my forehead and pronounced it was indeed a fever. So I called in sick to work, and I have to spend the day resting.
It's really hard just to rest. This post is a case in point. I should be on the couch sleeping, but no, I feel like I have to update my blog. And catch up on reading all of your blogs. And wrap more presents. And make something good for Derek for dinner.
But no, if I'm going to get better I have to sit on the couch and just veg. I never realized what a workaholic I am.
I guess that's why the Lord had to command the Israelites to rest on the Sabbath, and not do any work. Because it really is hard to just spend an entire day resting.
It's an important command though - of the ten commandments, the Lord spends the most time talking about the commandment to rest on the Sabbath day. If He spent all that time talking about how important it is to rest from all our work, then it must be important to try to obey it.
I don't do a very good job of obeying that commandment. I can't remember the last time I just spent an entire day resting. But I guess now would be a good time to practice.
Wish me luck!

Oh poor thing!!! I really hope you get better soon! I know, it's hard just to sit and do nothing--there's always something to do at home BUT you HAVE TO if you want to get better soon-otherwise it might take a while!
Be sure to drink lots of warm stuff & pills. I was sick for a few days last week-it's really hard to concentrate on life when these things come by :) Get better!!!!!! :)
Hope you get to feeling better! Just remember, life does go on even when chores go undone or presents go unwrapped for one more day :-). I have to always remind myself of that too when I'm sick.
I hope you feel better soon! if it helps, we got your card in the mail today and it was so cute! It totally made my day!
Aw, get better! Zicam, anyone?! And may I recommend lemon tea? (biased? Maybe)
I'm not very good at resting either! I constantly want to be doing something, lol. Hope you get some rest and are feeling much better soon!
get better soon girl!! you want to be 100% for Christmas :)
Feel better soon Callie! I just got today with a flu bug. I know what you mean, I just can't vegetate in bed! I feel like I should be doing something. Stay rested and hope your better soon xxx
Awww, how disapointing! I hate calling in sick to work (I don't like loosing the money or time off)and I have the same problem of struggling with relaxing...I know I'm a workaholic! I hope you feel better soon!
