Thanks, Doc

I went to the doctor on Friday and found out that I'm really anemic. I went there for a completely unrelated reason, but as soon as the doctor walked in she said, "Is it just me, or are you really pale?" And to that I said, "Yeah, I'm always super pale during the winter." (I hadn't had time to apply bronzer that morning.) She said, "Are you anemic?" And I said, "Nope. Just really white." Anyway, she insisted on getting a blood sample, and I found out that I am "really, really anemic." So, I guess what I'm trying to say is, you never know. But that explains why I haven't had the energy to exercise for the last couple months. I just thought that school and work were wearing me out. The doctor said, "You will be surprised at how much better you will feel." Haha, gosh, I am thankful she checked because I never would have suspected it!

Speaking of thankful, I have five more days of classes until my Thanksgiving break begins. The only downside is that Johnny and I are spending Thanksgiving apart this year. I wanted to see my family, and Johnny could not miss any school, so I am taking a solo flight to Alabama in about a week. Johnny is going with his family to California, so we will pretty much be across the country from each other! At the time, it seemed like a good idea, but I am pretty sure this will be the one and only holiday that we spend apart from each other. We are both still excited for our respective trips, but I already can't wait until we are back together again (and I haven't even left yet!). I guess being apart will just make me even more thankful for my great husband. And isn't that what Thanksgiving's all about? haha, not really...
