Still Coughing

Yes that’s right – I’m still coughing and I took the last pill of my antibiotic course with dinner tonight. Now my sinuses do feel better, but I’m still coughing which makes me think there may also be a viral component.  In any case, I’m coughing and it’s driving me nuts.  If I’m still coughing like this at the end of next week, it’s back to the doctor’s office for me, unfortunately.

At this point, I’m also still waiting (not so patiently) for the letter from DePaul to arrive.  I know it’s coming now which is leaving me more antsy than before.  I’ll survive tomorrow at work while being very antsy.  So I’m hoping it arrives tomorrow, after which I’ll either celebrate or hope I get in elsewhere. After that I’ll watch the Badger game (they’re probably going to lose,unfortunately).    I’ll also wear one of my new sweaters to work 🙂 I went over to JC Penny’s after work and they had a huge sale.  I got three turtleneck sweaters for just over $60 total.  Normally, each sweater is $50 all on it’s own – so I definitely made out good 🙂  I’ve needed some other winter weight tops for work.  A regular turtleneck isn’t quite enough, but my usual sweaters are too much, as I always have to wear something underneath them.  The new sweaters are such that I don’t need to wear anything under them (though I could put an undershirt under them if I needed to) and they’re not too heavy on their own either.  I got one in purple,one in red, and one in black.  They also had pink,white,gray, and an interesting green color.  I wished they had had a blue one, but no such luck. They’re machine wash,dry flat too, so at least they’re not any more of a pain to deal with than any of my other sweaters.

In other work news, for some reason incoming training has been pushed back.  It was originally scheduled for the second week in February and then got moved up to the first week and then today word came down that it’s not going to be next week, but they’re not sure exactly when it’ll be at this point, though they’re pretty sure it’ll still be in February.  So that means more dialer time now and none later, as I likely won’t be "fully trained" by the time I put my notice in at work.  I’m thinking of putting my notice in at work in mid June regardless of when I need to be at the law school. As I’ve mentioned before, NIU is the earliest, but I definitely will need whatever time I can easily get my hands on.
