"Come over and watch conference with us. We've got snacks." Nathan said.

"Thanks, but I'm sick." I sneezed for emphasis.

"Bummer. I was looking forward to some entertainment."

"You don't need entertainment. Conference is on," I reminded him.

"Well yeah, but it never hurts," he admitted. "See you later. Maybe you'll be better tomorrow."

I hung up my phone and closed my eyes trying not to focus on the pressure in my head. A moment later, my phone rang again. I moaned and answered it.

"You're sick? Can I do anything?" It was Andy.

"No, I'm just going to rest thanks."

"Feel better. If you need anything don't hesitate to call me. I will be home all day except during priesthood session."

"Thanks."

I considered turning my phone all the way off but there was no reason anyone else would call. The rest of the day was sort of a blur. I woke to the sound of the organ music coming from my computer. Conference was starting. I sat up pulling my knees to my chest in an attempt to stay awake. My face felt heavy and so did my eyelids.

Once the talks began, I was able to concentrate if I focused on the screen really hard. There was a beautiful talk about prayer and I enjoyed the combined choir from the SLC area. I did make it through the entire two hours without falling asleep but not much after that.

My nose was running so much that the box of tissues by my bed was getting plenty of use. My face and head hurt making it hard to sleep but I kept trying.

I could hear occasional sounds as I tossed and turned. Jackie must have come in our room at least once because I heard her rummage through her closet. I think I heard the doorbell or maybe it was someone's phone.

It was starting to get darker in my room when I woke up. My clock said it was after four. I moaned trying to clear my throat. I couldn't believe I had slept through the afternoon session. It was way past time to get out of bed today. I needed to at least drink something or have some food, though nothing sounded good. I pulled on some sweats and a t-shirt and grabbed my wild hair back into a ponyt
