another day, another 10,000 cough drops.

still sick over here.

i AM better than i was. in some ways. liiike…..i actually slept last night. the whole thing. all the other nights (since saturday) this has not been the case (as much as i wanted it to be). i haven’t had aches, chills, a fever, or totally incapacitating fatigue since sunday. and yesterday, i went almost all day without any meds and felt half-way decent.

of course right now i feel like death, but. that always happens when you first wake up.

i’m so irritated. not, emotionally….physically. like every piece of my body is inflamed. my sinuses, my eyes, my throat, my lungs, it suuucks. i got rejected twice yesterday at urgent care places. they don’t accept my "ID number" from my insurance. wtf is that? they don’t take policies starting with a W or an 8 and mine starts with an 8. ya know…..

and then, all the doctor’s offices around here can’t get me in for a couple days. there’s one place that promises same-day sick visits but, they are this new-fangled type of medicine that believes in adjustments (as in, chiropractic procedures) in addition to your healthcare, so they incorporate it in your treatment and….no thanks. i’ve been adjusted before and it was absolutely freaking disgusting. never again.

so, i could try again today…to fight for an appt somewhere. or…..

i could steal matt’s drugs. he had a follow-up appt yesterday afternoon because he has massive issues with chronic coughing every single time he gets sick. his coughing pearls weren’t doing the trick, and his antibiotics weren’t kicking his ear infections. soo they re-checked him, and gave him stronger stuff all around. this leaves his previous stuff….unused. i am in MUCH better condition than he was through this whole thing (or maybe i’m just not a man-baby?) but i’m thinking i could take his left over antibiotics. he said he wasn’t sure if it was a good idea since i’d miss 4 days worth from him taking it, but….they had him taking THREE a day! every day….not even a gradual decrease or anything. i think they did this because of how severe his infections were…so i’m thinking i could take two a day and have plenty. what do you think? am i nuts? i’m just SO fed up with trying to get seen and failing, and having to juggle crap around to have my baby taken care of while i go to an appt, ect ect.

i’m so not antibiotic happy….in fact i would probably ignore the idea all together if this crap wasn’t infecting like, every area of my body. it’s just that the pain i have right now makes me think i could have a sinus infection, and possibly an ear infection. i’m not totally sold on the pink eye…it’s oozey and gross, but my mom swears the same thing happens to her eyes with every cold, it just irritates it. so i’m gonna try a couple tea bag treatments on it today and see how we do.

i just can’t sit around for a week while this cold crap morphs into a million different phases of suck and not get a doctor’s appt and struggle with the stress of that. i think i’m gonna do it.

i’m so sorry about all this sick stuff, i really am. thank you for not hating my guts 🙂

it’s just….i wake up at 5am and have nothing else to do. my mom’s husband tends to sleep on the couch 6 out of the 7 days of the week and he’s not up this early so i can’t do anything downstairs….and the baby’s not up til 7, and i don’t want to make a lot of noise. so, yeah.

in other news….THANK YOU THANK YOU Miss Carrie B for the heads up on the 1/2 off cricut at michael’s. this means it’s about $5 cheaper there than it is at joann’s and even THAT is a good price. the price is good til the 9th, so now i have to figure out a way to GET there. the embossing folders should be super cheap, too…yay!

i did 4 more scrapbook layouts yesterday. didn’t take pictures of them yet, but i plan to post the others (the previous 20 i’ve been talking about) on my blog sometime today. thanks for your help with all the hits and following me over there!! 🙂
