sick sunday :(

i hate being sick. but then again, who really likes being sick?! anyway, i'm sick, and i hate it.  it started around last thursday, my sinuses started acting up--that's all i thought it was.  until saturday.  i began to feel it in my chest :(  so here we are today-sunday-still not feeling well. at least i can breathe through my nose again (which just happened late yesterday evening). but still, congestion sucks. not to mention, it hurts when you have what i like to call a 'coughing spell.'  so today, since i'm feeling sick, i have done nothing but look at places to honeymoon--no, we still haven't booked it. when you're married to a farmer, farming comes first (actually, ju's dad said we could of course go right after the wedding, but ju, being the great worker/son that he is, said he wanted to stay until they were finished since it's his first year.) so we decided to wait until the 2nd week in november.  i have been going back and forth for months now trying to decide where for us to go----punta cana, dominican republic or st. james, barbados or tulum, mexico (where the resort is mere minutes away from the mayan ruins) or st. lucia or the french riveria (which is what i wanted, but ju told me that he wanted to go to the beach where they spoke english. i just said ok, even though not everyone in the dominican republic or mexico or barbados or wherever speak english.).  anyway, today was the day to make a decision.  we're going to punta cana, dominican republic and staying at dreams punta cana resort and spa.  i'm extremely excited!! white sands, clear blue water, just me and ju.... ahh, i absolutely cannot wait!!  only a few weeks until we are there :)

back to reality.... being sick. ugh.  as i'm writing this blog, i'm drinking a large mug of chicken broth.  i love chicken broth when i'm sick... it just makes me feel better somehow.  my aunt, who's a nurse, says that it's scientifically proven that something in chicken broth helps you get better.  whether that's actually true or not, i like to believe it.  ju just went into work :(  they are so behind b/c of all the rain.  the sun is out-full force, so they're going to be cutting corn-full force!  hopefully, we can have an entire week filled with sunshine!  wouldn't that be nice?!  according to the weather channel, we should have sun until like friday, i think. anywho, hopefully it will stay sunny, so they can finish cutting everything.

(obviously this isn't julius or anyone of their farm, but you get the picture)

alright, well back to getting better/being extremely lazy!

chicken broth, hot tea, and rest ought to do the trick!
