Another workday.

Although, the phone rang as I was ready for breakfast. Hmm.

It was my turn to stay home (again, already), and will probably be called to open the overflow unit before too long. So, I went back to bed.

I was definitely feeling better than yesterday, but was still stuffy and fatigued. I ended up sleeping a couple more hours.

And I was happy I was home. The sun was out, the birds were singing, and my eyes were running, like my nose was the other day, like I was crying. I've never had that kind of drippage before. For a few hours, every so often, they would fill up and run down my face. Very odd.

I was finally called about 2:30.

What a joy to drive in the sunshine!

We had a great afternoon with the new patients. And I'm happy to say that I've been feeling better. Mostly.

Still congested in the head, but I've had a few short moments of nose breathing this evening.

I hope to be able to go out for a jog tomorrow.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.

I dozed some through the night--not sleeping, really. When the radio came on, I checked out how I was feeling. Because if my nose was going to be dripping continually, I could not work.

Someone else had already requested to be off. Ugh. Well, I didn't feel too good, but I didn't feel bad enough to not go, so--off I went.

It was a busy day. I had an orientee with me, and it was a good opportunity to help her function throughout the day and the day's events. I wasn't feeling well. Stuffy head and altered voice. I continued the sudafed and tylenol and motrin. One dose when I got up, another sudafed 3 1/2 hours later, and another 4 hours after that. About 5 pm, I realized that it was time that I could have more medicine. But I didn't need it!! Hey! I'm feeling better!! Thank you God!

We finished the day with the wonderful co-workers and was able to clock out in a timely fashion.

I went over and unloaded the car before coming home.

At home, I loaded the car again, to drop off tomorrow night. I'm getting there.

So. I'm tired, and tired of "mouth breathing". I'm off to bed soon.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.

Another day.

My nose is constantly dripping. I took tylenol and motrin for the head and body discomfort, and sudafed (the real stuff) for the nose. It still dripped, all day. And tonight, my eyes are watering, too.

I drove to Jackson and unloaded the car, did a couple of things, and came back.

More sorting and collecting, and loaded the car again.

Work tomorrow; if this nose is still dripping, I won't be able to.

I'm off to bed.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.

Saturday 03.03.2012

It is as I thought it might be.

I woke up not feeling well.

Mucus-y, stuffy, sinus pressure. Ugh. I've coughed a few times today, sniffled and blown, clear nasal drippage. Short naps a couple of times. I even took tylenol and motrin this afternoon for a sore throat, as well as warding off a migraine. Ugh again.

Finally, this afternoon I was able to function a little more. I got the china cabinet sorted, emptied, packed. And sorted more stuff. Never thought I would have to do this.

Supper was good, and this evening has been restful, with good conversation. Thanks, V.

Tomorrow I'll take a trip to Jackson.

Sure hope I feel better.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.

A busy day today for me.

I met Frank in Jackson and went to pick up a portable dishwasher. After delivering it, we visited a bit.

When they left, I took the garden hose to the basement and sprayed it down. I had tried to sweep the cement dust and years of fine dirt, but the cloud that was almost immediately created made me not feel well. So I hosed it down. It went pretty well, and boy am I tired tonight.

A good supper and a shower and laundry at home.

Tomorrow I hope to rest some.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.
