Okay I'm really sick

I went in yesterday to my NP thinking I was just normal sick. Woke up this morning feeling even worse. I'm sure the lack of consistent sleep has not helped at all. I think I've gotten maybe as much as 4 hours in a row in the last few nights.

After another sleepless night from coughing, I called my regular MD to get in today. I'm glad I did.

Not only do I have a sinus infection I also have pneumonia. So bed rest for me. Antibiotics (big ones), a cough suppressant and an inhaler, plus me drinking as much water as I can. I’ll continue doing my neti pot and steaming.

But yeah remember that entry I made about allergies - well most liquid cough suppressants have alcohol in them. It gives me hives.

Walgreen’s wasn't any help – in fact they didn’t even offer to call my MD to change my prescription. Which is surprising cause they usually are very helpful. Actually had to go to Rite Aide. My script actually was for the alcohol free stuff.

So now I get to sit at home, with lots of orange cat energy. Never underestimate the power of orange cat energy.

It was an error...

Really...

A Gift Has Been Purchased from Your Amazon Baby Registry

Wait what?

That was the subject of an email I recieved today.

It included this gem:

Dear Mr. Red and RHCD (with our real names),

A Baby Registry gift will be arriving soon! We thought you might like to know that an item was recently purchased from your Amazon.com Baby Registry. If you can't wait to know what it is and who it's from, and want to send a thank-you note, visit your Thank-You List. All necessary details are available, including the gift-giver's address.

Congratulations and Best Wishes,
Your friends at Amazon.com's Baby Registry

So I checked with Mr. Red if he knew anything about it. Nope - but he did ask if there's something I needed to tell him? Um no. Even HKCB found it amusing.

I haven't found a baby registry with my name, nor the Mr's.

Just for the record this has been an ongoing theme between her and I. It's becoming one of those amusing jokes.

No I don't have anything to announce. Really.

My turn

Crap I have what Mr. Red has.

This sucks.

I'm exhausted and just woke up from a 4 hour nap. I snoozed with the cats. Actually they both snoozed on me. Yes on me - all 30ish lbs of kitty on my stomach and legs.

I want soup.

this makes me a bad wife

I'm Bored! Actually I'm avoiding be productive. I'm board dammit.

Mr. Red is on day 3 of being sick. Tuesday he came home and crashed. Wednesday he dragged his ass in to work only to come and sleep for like the next 20 of the 24 hours. I did take him to the Dr - it's a viral thing with a nasty cough. He emailed me today letting me know he was bailing work 3 ish hours early and went to bed.

I didn't go out dancing Wednesday since I had an early class the next day (I ended up rescheduling due to me having a twinge of not feeling well - and thankfully being able to take him to the dr).

I can't wait until we live closer to Seattle so I can go play with out a 40ish minute drive each way. That changes the numbers so much.

Oh yeah - they're saying snow this weekend. Oh joy.

He's in disguise

So I bring up to Mr. Red he’s breaking one of the few rules I have (and yes he’s agreed to this).

The rule is: No Transformers in the bedroom. I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night and have them staring at me.

Today during dinner I made a comment about the Transformers sitting on the dresser.

Mr. Red: He’s a car, he’s in disguise.

At that point we both lost it, loudly. What am I supposed to say to that?

Three things

Etsy is evil.

I vacuumed yesterday (if you have to ask why this is important you so don't know us)

I signed up for the Portland Exchange in March.

That makes six?

I had cavities 4, 5 and 6 filled today. (1, 2 and 3 were in mid december). These barely or not at all showed in the xrays. Well one on each side did but when the dentist went in he realized the cavities were also on the neighboring teeth. My last dentist appointment in March 07 said only I need to 'keep any eye" on two spots.

Yes my jaw hurts.

2007 in many ways was a great year. Mr. Red and I both started wonderful new jobs. It was hard in so many other ways, moving, selling our dear lovely house, starting new jobs, moving from friends and family. My body has revolted and I'm fighting er working with it to get us back to something like normal. (Was well on my way there until stomach flu).

So here's to better health in 2008.

umm broken

Ummm yeah. You'll have to zoom out a wee bit.


See what I mean.
