Sick = Update

Hi everyone!

It's funny how being bedridden makes you appreciate having a laptop. I got this insane cold on Christmas night (so, after most of the festivities, thank goodness). I can hardly breathe! I'm one big blob of mucus and gross. It's not fun. And I don't like using sick days at work either. Boo.

But I've been able to do some reading and I'm finally updating my blog! (Which is a convenient way to communicate when your voice has been gone for three days.)

Like I said, I've been doing more reading. I'm not reading quite as fast as I was earlier because life has gotten pretty busy. Mostly because they made me the Relief Society President in the Singles Branch. At first I thought that this was going to be better (one big calling is better than 3 big callings right? - I had been serving in the RS presidency, as well as being FHE mom and on the Activities Committee before) but I was wrong. I love Relief Society, a lot actually. It's probably one of my favorite things about the Church. But being the president is SO much harder than I thought it would be. The branch president has told me a few times that I need to be less hard on myself and that I don't have to take so much on... but then he'll turn around and say things like "you are going to work miracles for the girls in the branch" or "there are a lot of changes that need to take place in the Branch, and the Relief Society is where those are going to have to start." So I don't know how to not stress out about it. 

For those of you who are interested in my dating life - I'm sorry to say that there is so little going on in that department that I have almost forgotten about it. The last time I was asked out on a date was way back in March. So it's been a while. I don't see a lot of hope for the future either. There's a new guy in the branch, and I feel bad for him. He's pretty good looking and every girl from 18 - 32 has decided that they want to marry him. So the poor guy has no idea what he's in for. (The backbiting has already begun among some of the girls... it's pathetic.) And yet a secret part of me hopes that he'll look my way. Sigh... 

As with absolutely everything in my life these days, all I can say is: I guess we'll just wait and see how it turns out.
