I haven't been feeling so great over the past few weeks. It seems to have gotten worse over the last few days. On Thursday, during training, I had to eat TUMS in order to stay there. I was so close to coming home because I was feeling so ill. I am a strong person though and keep on keepin' on as much as I need to. It all came to a halting stop today.
