I Stink

Date May 12, 2013

It was sans anything but water when I went to bed last night. No medicine of any kind. I was going to cough on my own and cough, I did. My deep breathing helped pull the Stuff out and I was surprised not to see a full wastebasket this morning. Guess it wasn’t as much as it seemed.... Read more

Pushing it

Date May 11, 2013

Every morning up until today, I have been free to go back to bed if I needed/wanted to. Sabbath morning, not so much. I was feeling a bit nauseated and wanted desperately to go lie down but the clock was ticking. My first glass of water helped so I steeled myself for the day.... Read more

Still Going Uphill

Date May 10, 2013

As is my habit, I didn’t get to sleep until after 11. I’m not an “in bed by 8″ person but I do like to get there by 10 at the latest. Sometimes I’m up later than that but it’s usually because of something I’m doing that I don’t want to stop until I finish it. Would that it were housecleaning…... Read more

Off to Town

Date May 9, 2013

Going to sleep late has become a habit, I’m afraid. Though I went to bed a little after 9:30, it was probably close to 11 (one side or the other) when I nodded off. I did sleep well, though, thank you very much. There were several potty breaks which is to be expected because I’m still drinking large amounts of water. I woke at 6:45 which isn’t as early as usual and crawled out about 7 to the tune of Twinkle’s moaning.... Read more

Back to My Routine

Date May 8, 2013

Today has been a much better one than the last seven. I didn’t sleep very well last night but the thought of not having to take any more antibiotics improved my outlook. Less stress is a plus.... Read more

Making It to the Finish Line

Date May 7, 2013

Hallelujah, and praise the Lord! I’m not saying that lightly. I am SO THANKFUL! It is the absolute truth that taking both the generic Levaquin and Mucinex the same day has laid me low. Today marks my last dose of each. I have four of 14 Mucinex left but they can stay untaken.... Read more

I Think I’ll Live

Date May 6, 2013

Not taking the Mucinex last night was a good idea. Instead, I took some cough medicine that’s something I never take in the daytime. I went to bed and lay there for over an hour. It was obvious I wasn’t going to sleep any time soon. The antibiotic was still kicking up its heels, I guess. Then, I had a bad idea. On top of the cough medicine, I took half a 3mg melatonin. I did go to sleep, by and by, but this morning I felt like I’d been on a cheap drunk and the effects hadn’t worn off yet.... Read more

A New/Old Format

Date May 5, 2013

With this post, I am going to a more or less daily review rather than doing one long weekly one. It takes me, literally, two or three hours or more to do one on Saturday night (or Sunday, as the case may be) and writing shorter ones will be easier on me plus being more current. As if anyone may care. If you go to the archives, you’ll see this is what I started out doing in the beginning. And so I’ll continue…... Read more

My Week: A Rocky Road

Date May 4, 2013

Sunday went as most Sundays do. DD called and updated me on her job search. One of the requirements for consideration for one was a humongous test of all things HTML/CSS. That was keeping her busy. The noteworthy thing I had to report to her was that the battery in my phone was finally dying and I had to switch. How many weeks did that make? I’ve lost count. Later on that day, she posted on Facebook that she thinks she has TMJ. ... Read more

My Week: Progress or Regress?

Date April 27, 2013

Sunday was DD’s birthday. I was tempted to call her off and on all morning but I know she likes to sleep in when she can. I restrained myself. The phone rang later in the day and I saw it was her number. I answered it singing “Happy Birthday to You”. She thanked me. I’d seen on Facebook she had the traditional strawberry shortcake but it only had one candle. We discussed her job situation. I didn’t reiterate she could come back to Tennessee and work but she knows the door is always open. She and merm were going out for Thai food so we didn’t talk as long as usual. It was only an hour and a quarter but my phone was still going strong—more than two weeks off the charger.... Read more
