Being sick while breaking a toenail: A surprisingly fun day!

Today was actually a very good day, besides feeling miserably sick and tripping up my stairs and breaking my left big toenail off.

Nilsa and Anderson came to visit us in Lynchburg! I took a full dosage of mucinex, tissues, my regular meds, and a bottle of water. I was ready to face the day. We had breakfast at the Blue Dahlia, which is a really nice place to have breakfast. We were there for at least 2 hours, just hanging out, talking, etc. I had tons of water, hot food, and tea which helped clear my clog.

We then showed them where Jon proposed!! (photo) We traveled to campus, dropped by the BN Bookstore for more tea and ventured to the Prayer Garden, Jerry's old office, and the eternal flame of Liberty. We traveled just nextdoor to the stadium to watch the football team scrimage. They were histerical, making loud ridiculous noises and hollars for every play. It was great!

Left campus to go up up up the hill to SNOWFLEX! (oooh, ahhhh). This place is really cool. I was highly skeptical during the planning and construction, but it really is a fun place to hang out. It has gorgeous views of the city, a great coffee shop (that gave me more hot water for my tea!), and its fun to sit on comfy couches surrounded by animal heads (photo) and falling skiiers. Wrapped things up with lunch at Vinny's, my favorite pizza place. All in all, a great way to spend the afternoon.

As I was walking up my stairs, I missed. I tripped and my flip flopped feet flew into the wooden stair. Broke my big toenail and immediately got into Ballet dancer mode. (I danced for 10 years, so I'm used to broken toenails and feet injuries). I didn't waste time as I immediately got my nail stuff, clipped my toenail, and bandaged the damage. It still looks gross, but I am glad to have recovered half of my nail. (no photo.)

We all continued the day watching Madea's Family Reuinion. I was dying with laughter and feeling sick, so I took more meds and laughed my congestion away. Or tried to. Finished the movie, then headed to the White Hart, which is a very fun coffee house downtown. Ate a very light dinner (I had apple cider and a muffin), and we parted ways.

I had so much fun spending time with Nilsa and Anderson, and I probably pushed myself too hard. I tried to sit and rest and drink lots of tea, but my body hates me right now.

Tomorrow, SLEEEP.
