The morning came, and I had my mom make me hot tea while I sat in my shower and sweat in burning water for a good 15 minutes. Some Raisin Bran and tea later, I was feeling much better, but still had the virus lurking around my body. I got dressed and headed out towards Jenison to my aunt and uncle's house. We were going to Birch Run today, a giant outlet mall somewhere northwest of Detroit and or Flint.
We made good time getting there, and when we arrived, I was amazed at how busy it was. Stores in multiple lots, across the street, it was crazy. I hit a lot of the stores in the first hour I was there, and realized I should have taken my time. Until they closed (which was 7:00PM), I was following my aunt and Kelsey around in too many stores. I have to give her credit..... my Aunt Colleen can shop forever. My joints and body began to give out around 6:00PM, and this was mainly due to a lack of food too. I bought a great sweater at J. Crew, as well as khaki skinny jeans and some amazing vitamin C blend of
acerola cherries. I spent the last 10 minutes that I was there in the vitamin store, all while I was sampling vitamins and looking at just how powerful some of these little chewable and swallowable pills where. I made good conversation with the lady, and even donated some money to their foundation for kids to get vitamins. I was able to provide 4 children with daily vitamins for an entire year. I may never meet them, but I hope they stay healthy.
I feel distant....... the last 7 minutes in the film "Trainspotting" describe how I feel down to a tee. Ewan McGregor is a doppelganger to my life and the situation I'm in....
Getting online now to wind down my tired night by talking to my good friend Ty via Skype. Wonder what we'll talk about....
