Of Magic and Sunshine

This week has been busy and full of much exhaustion. My bizarre vertigo has been persistent and evolved as well as obtaining new symptoms. It has been rather miserable some days to the point where I just have to have a nap. Thursday I just couldn't get out of bed for school on time. I couldn't do it! It was as if I hadn't even slept at all the night before. I skipped first period and headed to school. I was so miserable, and my poor friend Jared had been sick as well. We were mellow company. I slept ten minutes in Chemistry (teacher gave the okay!) and was feeling dead in fourth period during Computer Tech 2. When I walked outside I was AMAZED and my frown was turned upside down :) It was so sunny and warm. My dad and I had to go for a walk. We love walking together!!

Yesterday I worked at the Garden Center which was fun, and warm :p I had a fairly good time. I love the blooms there!! They make me happy and they smell divine. Today I was asked what my favorite part about working in a garden center was... The smell. There is just something about the smell of dirt with the mixture of flower fragrances. I love that smell like people love the smell of rain (I like rain too!).

Pretty huh?

This is a forsithia, I love how yellow it is!

What a beautiful rose!

This is an aloe vera when it blossoms! So amazing! I never knew they bloomed...

One of two new orchids my sister bought.

This is both of the orchids! They're small compared to my grandpa's other plants. They're his prized possessions.

This is a BLACK petunia!! OMG!!! Can you say BEAUTIFUL!!!

Black petunias are my new favorite :]

I think this is a type of mimosa...it's one of the spanish ladies.

I'll have you know this is some of the Lantana I transplanted. Aren't you proud?

Got to love Mums!

I love the frilly pansies, though this picture took forever to take outside because of all the wind. It was so windy today! I swept a section outside...I think all that hard work has disappeared thanks to Mr. Wind.

This is the other new orchid...oh how I love orchids!!!

Such a fiery color! Took up the last shot on my memory card.

Calla lilies are one of my favorites.

Today was so busy, and so much fun. Holly and I were a great tag team and did loads of trays full of plugs. I stacked the trays, filled with dirt, and occasionally did the holes in the dirt. We were so fast and did lots!! What would she ever do without me?

Today Mom and I went to Wal-mart. We found a miracle item! It's called a Sea Band.

This is how you wear it. You wear both.

See? You get two!

These things are amazing! A lady in my ward recommended them to my mom to help with the vertigo. Well we bought them this morning, and after a couple minutes of wearing them I WAS NO LONGER MOTION SICK!!! Oh my GOSH!!! Seriously? I was so happy! I was able to work all day with just faint dizziness at the back of my attention. It has no magnets. The secret? Those white plastic things press on an acupuncter point that helps with motion sickness, EVEN for pregnant women! I was so impressed. When Mom and I were off work and driving home I took them off, one because Mom wanted to try one on, and two, to see how I'd feel. It didn't take long for me to start to feel sick in the car and really uncomfortable. I put the bands back on and poof! Just like magic the sickness vanished! WOW!! They are my new favorite thing! I highly recommend them to anyone.

I laugh at myself for how things have turned out. I've got to be the only human being on the planet that gets motion sick from walking. It makes me chuckle.
