短文中的"我"经历了哪些事情？从生病到春天，心情有什么变化？
What did the narrator experience? How did the narrator's mood change from being sick to the arrival of spring?
① 最近换季节了，"我"感冒了还发烧了，在家休息了好几天。

① With the seasonal change, the narrator caught a cold and got a fever, resting at home for several days. ② Friend Xiaofang came every day to bring food to take care of the narrator. ③ After the fever went down, the narrator discovered the green grass and blooming flowers — increasingly beautiful, liking spring more and more, and increasingly grateful for the friend. ④ Summer is almost here; Xiaofang even helped pick a new skirt. Although life has been a bit hard lately, it's getting more and more interesting.
