Lindsay drove me over to the swim club this morning so that I could pay for the bachelor auction. When I got there I went to the office and saw one of the directors, Jill. I told her I wanted to pay, so she got out the auction file and looked at it confused. I asked her what was wrong and she said that my bid on Josh had already been paid for! I asked her if she was sure and she said that it had been paid for in cash yesterday! So I'm thinking, what the heck?

Lindsay and I left the office to find Henry. I figured he might know what happened since he was working in the office all day yesterday. I found him in the snack bar and he yelled at me for not being home resting. And then he was like, "Thank God they didn't sting that perfect face!" Then he got serious and said, "You're not here to work are you? You need to rest up for the talent show tonight." I explained why I was there and he looked like he didn't want to tell me something so I kept pressing him on who paid. He said, "You need to talk to Josh about that."

Lindsay looked like she was getting impatient. It was supposed to be a five minute trip to the swim club that had turned into a half hour. She told me she was going to get a snack and I should go find Josh - fast.

I went out to search around the pools. I was sure he had told me he was working all day so I knew he had to be there but I couldn't find him. I walked back to the office and asked Jill if she had seen him. She said he just arrived and was in the back. So I went into the back where Josh was eating Donuts.

He seemed surprised to see me and gave me the same lecture that Henry gave me: "how do you feel?"... "you should be resting"... "what are you doing here?"...

I asked him about the auction. He said that he, Alex, Molly, Lauren, Henry, Aunt Lu and even Natalie had chipped in to pay for it! I was shocked! No one has ever done something like that for me before...I thanked him and gave him a hug. (Loved the hug!)

He walked me over to the snack bar to find Lindsay. I thanked Henry too, and then they both yelled at me to go home and rest up for tonight. So I'm home, taking medicine, keeping an eye on the stings and getting ready for the show tonight.
