Guess what y'all? 

It's Good Friday. :) 

I really don't even know what this means. That's sad, right? 

I'll be right back. I have to google this! 

Wait, wait, wait...

Why is this called Good Friday? 

Good Friday is the Friday before Easter Sunday to commemorate Jesus's death. 

Okay. I thought that's what it meant but I didn't think we would call it Good. Does that make sense?

The day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday but the day our Lord and Saviour was brutally murdered is called Good Friday. 

I guess. I mean... Jesus had to die for my salvation but dang, why do we call it Good Friday? I really don't think that Friday was a good day for Jesus. 

Anyways, I wasn't even trying to blog about that. I'm still blown about my medication being the cause of more issues. So, I have Crohn's Disease but the medicine I'm on (Humira) is causing me more issues then it is helping. 

So, I'm getting off of the medicine. But it is scary because that abdominal pain is a BEAST. Women who have had kids say that their Crohn's pain is worse than giving birth. Ehhh. But that pain isn't daily. 

So, what I'm dealing with now is limited abdominal pain (I can pretty much eat whatever) BUT I'm always very tired (I may have one hour per day when I have a little energy), my muscles ache all day long and I have horrible brain fog (which is the reason I can't get school work done). 

I wake up every late morning to early afternoon feeling like I got hit by a trick the day before. 

But this is worse than the Crohn's. It is. I can't do much. I've missed church. I haven't been able to do schoolwork. I haven't hung out with my friends. (Which is partially their fault because that's definitely a two way street). :/ I've gained weight because I've just been sitting around. 

I'm very nervous about the withdrawal effects from my medications. The end of April and the beginning of May might be very difficult for me. 

Which brings me to my next mini rant... 

I officially started my Water Aerobics class next week. I'm super anxious about that. Those old people crowd up those classes. 

Anyways, I'm going to sleep. I have a lot of things to do on this Good Friday.
