In His Radiance

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven. Matt5:14-16

Sick

Just as i went to sleep lastnight a sudden headache came upon me. I thought i would sleep it off. I didn't. Waking up several times in the night (more time awake than asleep) i decided at about 3am to go down and get a drink and a panadol. i almost threw up as i walked down to the kitchen. after taking the medicine i went back to bed and tried to sleep. I lay awake as my stomach turned uneasily. Then before i could close my mouth sick smelling liquid spurted out of it spilling relentlessly all over me and the bed on which i lay. I imagined if i sat up to get a bowl i would not make it even out of bed, let alone the kitchen, before i threw up again, so i lay there and momentarily more liquid excreted itself from my mouth, and yet more. After a few minutes of covering myeslf in foul smelling insides i got up got a cloth and attempted to clean up the mess that was on me and the bed. After a poor job of doing so, it took a clean pillow and slept sideways on the bottom, clean half of my bed. By now the panadol had kicked in, or i was just too tired to notice my migrane, and i fell asleep almost instantly. Waking up in the morning to mum calling me to get ready for school i explained i wasn't going to go to school today. After all i am very rarely sick and i'm sure i don't use anywhere nearly all my sick days throughout the year. (i'm not even sure if schools have a certain amount of sick days). So i read a book after i got up at sometime during midday called The Seer And The Sword which i really do reccomend to anyone who likes love stories entangled in fantasy which weirdly enough seemed to have as much empathy as an allegory. One of the best books i ever read actually (which probably doesn't say much because i rarely read these days).
Any way i feel much better now and will be good for school tomorrow, and YG tomorrow evening.

It's really weird, everyone seems to have gotten sick recently. (or maybe it's always happening but i've only noticed it because i got it and mentioned it so other people have spoken up)

I won't comment on those soaps. I haven't seen enough of them to judge them (who am i to judge anyway) and i don't intend to see more. (please note, sharyn, i am not condemning them.. just not my taste)
