Sicky-Poo

Today I stayed home from school. This is what I did:
-Read
-Watched TV
-Dozed
-Was bored
-Forced fluids
Since I was sick and it is cold out now, my dad drove me to a funeral for the woods near our house but WOULDN'T let me get out (gr). He let me open my window though.
See, we have this copse of trees near our old school. But today they tore half of it down and boom! A place that holds so many memories was gone. Our old school is now a kindergarten place and they put in the playground. We think they will tear down the rest of the woods too. We often played Capture the Flag here, so we're all very sad.
Meanwhile my friend emailed me and told me she asked her crush to the dance--and that he said yes! I'm happy for her.
T still has not returned and we have no new updates.
And I'm finding myself feeling empty between the knees when I walk around: I'm missing the hard feeling of a saddle there. I'm itching to swing back up and try larger jumps. Fortunately if I feel better we might be going to the barn tomorrow.
Even though I know my parents will read this, I have to tell the truth. I wanted to go to the funeral so I pretended to look better, but I still feel kinda crappy. If I continue on like this, I will not return to school until Monday.
So yeah. Today's tip: Don't catch my cold.
