WWF has nothing to do with wrestling or pandas

When I woke up today my voice was about two octaves lower than it usually is. I was just glad that I hadn't lost it. We had a meeting in the morning and then we had free time while the people in the puppet show practiced for tomorrow. After free time we went to another nursing home. I felt really sick and like I was going to lose my voice, but I sang anyway. The testimony was given by Bec and the bible verse by James again. After we sang, a cat came in that they have there for therapy. This nursing home was in between the other two as far as the coherency of the people in it. Some were not there mentally at all, but some seemed very mentally stable.


After the nursing home, we went back to the church for lunch. Since I was still feeling sick, I just drank another one of my fake ensure things. We then had free time in the afternoon where we went to Wentworth Falls, as in the actual waterfalls. It was abbreviated WWF a few places and it made me laugh because when I hear WWF I think of World Wrestling Federation. (yes, I know it is WWE now) I was debating not going, but Steve told me that we could go slow if I felt sick. I was glad that I went because it was beautiful. I only made it about 1/2 way down before I had twisted my ankle. Jack wrapped it up with some extra socks that Jo had in her bag. Jo was nice enough to stay back with me and then walk back up. My ankle still hurts if I step on it funny, but I think it will probably hurt forever in that sense. My sister said hers still hurts from cheerleading in high school and she graduated in 2002.

When everyone got back to the top, we went shopping in Katoomba. First we went to a cafe for afternoon tea and I just got a Sprite. Then Nathalie, Bec, and I went looking for a present for our billets. It was after 5 by the time we started looking, so almost everything was closed. We found a Kmart that was open, so we bought them a fondue set and a card.

Next we went to dinner at the church. I ate some real food in the form of a potato thing but I also drank some "ensure." I had my ankle on ice all during dinner and afterwards because it was hurting. I then sat around while everyone prepared for tomorrow. I was supposed to do a reading at church tomorrow evening, but since I was sick and thought I may lose my voice, Jo took over for me. Then Vanessa took me home when she went before everyone else because I was sick and wanted more rest.

I came here looking for this image: http://www.myconfinedspace.com/wp-content/uploads/tdomf/32780/pandawwf.jpg. I left with the knowledge that "fake ensure" exists.

Things will get better.
