When I was in sixth grade, I got strep throat. It was horrible, but I got to stay home from school for a week (because I had a fever the whole time and when you had a fever, you had to stay home) and read “Flowers In The Attic”. Then I had another two weeks [...]
I have never had tonsillitis, so I don’t know what that’s like, but oh holy lord does my throat hurt right now. Enough so that I was actually crying a bit this morning. Go ahead, call me a wuss (no, not really). Anyway, today and tomorrow are my last days of work for [...]
NOTHING!
I have been laying around and feeling yucky since I wrote my last post. My throat is horrible, I have a fever, and let’s just say that the running back and forth to the bathroom has me seriously considering adult diapers. Either that or setting up a little bed in the bathtub.
As I [...]
This afternoon, my brother, his wife, and my parents needed to go out to Home Depot (which is an hour away) to pick out flooring and glass tile for the bathroom in their new house. And so, they asked me to take care of my two nephews while they were gone.
I always say yes [...]
When I was out today I saw:
roadkill
potato fields
an eagle
airplanes
a black and blue butterfly
used condoms (or at least, condoms that were out of their protective packaging. I didn’t get close enough to them to know with 100% certainty that they were used)
a dog
a fox
… and this was all within an hour. I’ve been looking at treadmills [...]
I am having surgery at the end of July. Have I mentioned that? What’s that? Only about 9000 times? Well then I should probably mention it just once more!
I am, at the moment, fairly calm about it all, simply because I don’t allow myself to think about it. When I do try to think about [...]
Let’s see, what has been up since last I wrote?
Wednesday evening was Grade 9 Closing. Which is basically like graduation, only they’re not done, they still have three years to go. It was a pretty good ceremony… except. The grade 9 homeroom teachers walk their homerooms in for the processional, then sit with them at [...]
This week has become my World’s Busiest Week Ever. Work is winding down for the year, and that means there’s so much to do, what with packing and cleaning and moving of furniture (Yeah, I have to do it all myself. Yeah, Rob will be coming to work with me at some point to do [...]
Yesterday morning was my anesthesiology consult. First I saw a couple of foxes on my morning walk (they sat and stared at me for a bit, and I snapped a couple of pictures with my cellphone, but it was still a little bit dark).
We left home at 7:45 am, and even though we took a [...]
Things are falling into place for my surgery. When I met with the doctor he said that the operation would likely take place in September/October, and to book 2 weeks off work for recovery. That freaked me the hell out. Not that recovery would take 2 weeks, but that I had to take 2 weeks [...]
