I decided on Monday that I have been sick since Thanksgiving and that I had to do something about it. So I went to the doctor’s yesterday in order to determine if my misbehaving mucous was because of alergies or a sinus infection. After 10 minutes of asking me the color and consistency… the doctor decided that it probably wasn’t allergies. So now I am on the Z-pack antibiotics (which inevitably give me yeast infections, but on the bright side, they are the only antibiotics I remember to take at the right time for the right amount of days) and Flonase. Now I have spent my whole life trying not to inhale things up my nose. The list of things includes, but is not limited to, water, salt, pepper, toothpaste, and insects. Using Flonase goes against all of my basic instincts. And when the doctor described how to use it and the phrase “if you get nose bleeds, don’t worry about it, just keep using it.” No THANK YOU. I tried it yesterday and though this morning I woke up with less congestion and snot, I had a mild headache (unusual). I might just use it every other day, but we will see how things work out. She also felt my throat and lymph nodes and asked if I had ever had my thyroid tested. I have almost all of the symptoms of an underactive thyroid, so I got the blood work drawn for that test and I will find out the results next week.

Last night Winemonkey and I went to the Cork Company Soiree. It was a really good time. His friend, one of the co-owners, is very charasmatic. And we sat with an interesting group of people. Two of them were from the East Coast and so we had great conversation.

All and all, these next few days are going to continue to be very busy. I am going away for the weekend to the cabin with Porter. I am under the impresssion that it is just us two, which would be super fantastically nice.

Alright. I gotta get writing… But I am sure I will write more later.
