Doctor – yikes

I gave in today and went to the doctor. I rarely go to the doctor and certainly not for anything minor but the fact that I’m a mouth-breather, and not even good at that right now, prompted me to trot out to his office. Ok, I didn’t trot, I ambled slowly and then wheezed from the exhaustion of the block long walk from the car to his office.

My ears and throat are sore but the real problem is that I can’t breathe. It’s bizarre – it’s not my head stopped up and it’s not my lungs – it’s the bronchial tubes because it’s a small little area. I sound pretty nasty. It’s a good thing I’m not a radio person anymore – I’d be very bad at it right now.

But, I have some amoxicillian now and with just two pills in me I can tell it’s starting to break it up a little bit. I suck at being sick. Some people love the attention. I love feeling normal.

I did call and cancel the electrician for in the morning. I’ll reschedule next week but I just wasn’t up to it for tomorrow.

I met Susan K for breakfast today and then came home and went back to bed until my doctor’s appointment. I have been up and about since then and feeling a bit better but I’m about ready for a nap. Maybe I’ll be able to sleep tonight. I hope so.

We had Chicks tonight and I didn’t want to miss it. It was our third anniversary. I feel so blessed to be part of this group. Such a great part of my life.

It was part of the reason I started Creative Sisterhood. I had thought about something like that before, but something about Chicks and seeing it work gave me the incentive I needed to follow through on starting Creative Sisterhood.

I did some garden tour things today. I’ve lost about 2 days and I really don’t know how I’m going to get everything done. But I will just have to because it has to be done and there’s no one else to do it. So… there you go.

I think a good night’s sleep will do me some good. I hope I get one. I really want to go play in the studio a little bit but know that’s not the wise thing for me to do tonight.
