What to do when you get the chicken pox?

It's only been 5 days since I was ordered by the school doctor to quarantine myself--but it feels as if a month had passed! Fortunately, my extended mini-vacation is almost over cause the pox are drying up (huzzah!!) and then the reality of catching up on everything I missed will soon overwhelm me. So what have I been doing?

1) surfing the net

2) avoiding mirrors

3) reading--blogs and books (I've been reading a book a day!)

4) catching up on series

5) reading up on chicken pox--obsessively

6) work stuff

(been drafting letters nonstop while Cheys and Aidx had their Canon talk :( )

7) sleeping

8) online window shopping -- www.zalora.com.ph!

9) looking through my high school yearbook

10) looked through my planner from a year ago

(my, how this illness brought out the nostalgia in me)

11) thinking--too much of it actually! :(

12) pill popping

(before you think something bad, I've been popping Vitamin C cause it supposedly helps speed up the healing)

13) pining

14) whining

15) crying

...to anyone who would listen.. which would be nobody. =(

16) keeping balance

(There have been 2 earthquakes since I got sick, no joke. Good thing the other was just a tremor I think, but still, pray for the Philippines)

17) texting

(though I haven't felt much like it)

18) I watched the Ateneo-La Salle game

19) praying/begging 

and finally

20) realizing that maybe, just maybe, God wants me to slow down for a minute and lean on Him.

I am always so independent, controlling, self-sufficient and maybe He just wanted me to let go and lean on Him. :( I feel so bad that I sometimes forget Him during my "powerful" moments and turn to Him only at my weakest.

On another note:

Some things I do "excessively" but haven't done much while I was sick:

1) eating--I can now live on one meal a day: lunch 

2) tweeting
