Riddle me this...
WHY? Why for the love of everything does my body hate me?
I have gone up two pant sizes. (I may have had a little something to do with that, but I'm blaming the steriods.)
I have had the cough for (looking at calendar) 29 days. (Somewhat better.)
I just finished my last antibiotic (2nd round) two days ago and this morning I blew out enough florescent gack out of my nose to light up the Gold Coast.
Why?

My friend and I were at the craft show the other day when we saw my stepson's mother. For whatever reason, she always has to talk me every time I see her. I don't like her. We are not friends. We never will be friends. Leave me alone!
After we finally managed to get away from her, my friend said to me, "I like how you did that."
"Did what?"
"Every time she said, "It's good to see you.", you said, "Thanks!"
Well, I sure wasn't going to say "Good to see you too".

The Boy had his first official piano recital last Sunday. I would have a short video of him playing, but someone (me) didn't push the button hard enough on the camera to actually record the thing. Geez.

The Cough - Day 23
Advair, Avelox, Methylprednisolone and Tessalon Perles.
The doctor didn't seem concerned about the blood specks. He did seem concerned that I was still coughing. He thinks it is just irritation from the original cold/allergies.
I'm now on my second go round of antibiotics. He said he doesn't like to prescribe them because he thinks they are overused, but he thought I really needed them.
Plus, steriods! Woo. I will now eat my weight in food. Stand back. It isn't going to be pretty.
Tessalon Perles? Don't let them dissolve in your mouth. Swallow them whole. Although you may have been told to take them instead of cough drops, they aren't lozenges. At all. Trust me.
I have since had three more people tell me there is something going around that has a cough that lasts forever.
Oh, and the rib pain? I have never had a broken rib, but this is what I imagine it feels like. Right below my left chesticle it aches a little, but when I cough, I have to clutch my ribs and say, "Ow!" (or if I'm alone I say something quite different. It involves stomp dancing and popsicle sticks.)

The little church ladies are selling their hand-made peanut brittle at the craft fair again. I got five bags of it. They took my phone number so they could call me later to see if I want some more. Duh. I should be in the brittle of the month club and they should automatically send it to me. I love this stuff.
I'm trying to decide - peanut brittle first and then a nap or vice versa?

Cough
If you see either one of my lungs, please send it home.
Like I do every year (idiot), I slept with the windows open before we had a frost. Can the interwebs say "allergies"? I know my doctor can. Five (5) prescriptions and I'm still coughing my lungs out. I've got something for the mucous in my lungs, something for the drainage, something to open up the bronchial tubes, something for the allergies themselves, but most of all, I've got something WITH CODEINE. I'm surprised I'm not as high as a kite or passed out on the floor.
Although passed out on the floor sounds pretty good right now.
