Sickness, Sunburn, and Furnerals


I am sick. Yet again. I was sick all week last week too. Sore throat, stuffy nose and such. All this is getting rather annoying. I've started taking allergy medication again so hopefully that'll help some.

I washed the car on Saturday and it was like 98 degrees. I was out there for around 2 or 3 hours because it takes forever to wash that stupid car since it's white and you can see every little spec of dirt or bug guts (yuck.) Anyway, this Summer I've been dying to get tan. Before this Summer my skin hadn't seen the light of day in years. And I mean YEARS. After coming inside from washing the car I got up from the recliner and started walking toward the kitchen when my Mom gasped really loudly, covered her mouth and said, "OH MY GOSH."
I froze immediately ans said, "WHAT IS IT?!"
"You're sunburned."
"Really?? Yayyyyy!"

Yeah, that made me happy needless to say. A few hours later the burn was already brown. (:

My skin is all brown and glowy from laying out so much. Not as dark as I'd like it to be but I still have a few weeks to work on it.

Yesterday my grandparents told my family that one of our regular attenders at church had died. He was in his mid 50's I believe. Anyway, a few weeks before he died he told my dad and I that he wanted us to do the music for his funeral, so yesterday my dad, brother, Nana, and I spent hours recording music for it. We sang Heaven'll Be Worth The Journey, Funeral Plans, and Beulah Land. He had requested all three and had us sing them to him that day he told us he wanted us to do the music. I'm rather glad we recorded the songs instead of singing them live at the funeral because I know I wouldn't have been able to make it through the songs without crying. I have known him since I was about nine years old. He always gave me candy when he saw me at church. I will miss him dearly.

That's all I have on my mind for now.

Much love,
*Hales.
