Fifth Day in the Long House

I am sick today. Last night my stomach was giving me trouble. The pain would shoot through me and it would hurt badly. It carried on into today so Dean Kristin and Dr. Carter said to stay here instead of going to work. I cannot describe how I feel except that my body is so weak, I can barely sit up without needing to lay back down to rest, so much so that writing now is very difficult. I feel like I should be out there helping my team finish the church but Lindsay said that we would probably pick up two bricks and need a 30 minute break. Now I understand, I guess. Lindsay is sick too. I don’t know if I have the flu or not but Lindsay does. It has been going around and a bunch of kids got it.

Everything sounds so loud to me. The clicks of the gecko above me on the ceiling fan feels like a bass guitar and the children on the other end of the long house seem to be standing right next to me screaming. Well, I am super tired now so I think I will go back to sleep and get some rest.
