Pride/Cometh/Fall

I  was feeling pretty proud of myself there for awhile. I was steady cranking out blog entries, just like how a good blogger ought to do. And then, well, I wasn't.

Remember my life and lemons entries? Well, I've been sick. Apparently I was sick for several monthes before I even realized it. The gastrointestinal difficulties, ahem, must have occurred sometime in the middle of when I first got sick. Pitiful to say though, isn't it, that I didn't realize I was sick for several monthes?

Prior to the gastro issues I'd been tired. Weary is more like it. And my nose had been running and I'd been sneezing and coughing. I chalked it off to allergies. Yes, allergies probably should have been over by mid September but it's been a wierd year whatwith the incredibly hot and dry summer we'd had and, despite the heart attacks and gall stone troubles of two years ago, I'm still pretty much anti-doctor.

So anyway, when I woke up a week ago and my neck was seriously swollen, and everytime I swallowed it wasn't pleasant, and I felt like a truck had run over me, I decided to go see the doctor. Sinus infection he said. And that it hadn't just happened, these were just more serious manifestations of it. 

My antibiotics will run out tomorrow. Unfortunately, I'm still coughing and my nose is a mess. I'm guessing that means I'm not all better and it isn't allergies. I'm also guessing I'll need another prescription. Hopefully no doctor visit because those are, well, not cheap.

Long story short, that's why I haven't been blogging as faithfully as I had been. The mystery has been solved.

Otherwise things are going pretty good. I'm cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year and I just about have all of my food shopping done. A trip to Sam's Club, maybe tomorrow, and a trip to Super Greenland (a produce store) next Tuesday and that'll be it.

Normally I have dinner with HSM and her family but they're still living in Alabama. Their #1 Son, and his girlfriend, invited me to have dinner with them but since I'm not all better yet, well, I figured that wasn't a good idea. I don't know if sinus infections are 'catchy' and I would hate to get them sick. As well as her parents, her brother and his girlfriend, and her neice.

My Aunt Glo invited me for dinner too, but I don't want to get her family sick either. And, truth be told, who knows if I'll feel good enough to spend a day at someone elses house. Being at home, if I'm tired, I can go take a nap. As long as I'm awake for the half-time show of the football game. Kid Rock is performing!

Read somewhere on FaceBook that 15 states--Alabama, Mississippi, North Dakota, Texas, New York, etc.--requested to succeede from the USA shortly after the election. Ted Nugent must have wacko relatives all across the country.

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Be good and be careful, take care, stay strong.

hugs, Tawny
