Solace in Sickness

I'm sick with the flu. Yeah, hooray for me. Achy, feverish, tired, and just a general feeling of YUCK has prevailed all day. I did some of my homework, Math, Chemistry, and Biology wait for no woman sick or not, but was bored stiff laying around in bed all day. I did a bunch of quizzes on FaceBook which told me stuff I already knew (I'm stubborn and independent WOW! surprise!) and was so bored! Suddenly, I remembered I had a stack of Ensigns that I had NOT read. December, January, February, AND March. Since I started school this term, I have been so busy with homework that I've failed to make time to read this crucial publication of modern-day revelation. After I had spent several hours devouring all of the inspiring and poignant articles, I realized that I was grateful that I had come down with the flu. It forced me to turn to that which is of utmost importance and to re-acquaint myself with the words which I love to read, and to reorganize my priorities.
