Poke Me I'm Done

I'm posting late today because David and the puppies tore up the house over the weekend. I clean every 3 days around here and do the laundry on Mondays and Fridays. But when it comes to weekends I have to clean more often because they tear up the place something awful. It's like having a rambunctious bunch of kids. I know what it will be like when David is off starting next week. OY!! Would anyone mind if I crashed at your place for 2 weeks? I'm neat and clean, and I won't make any noise. I'm a great house guest. PLEASE???? Save my life!

Anywho over the weekend, David and I went off to Cosco and got ourselves a Cosco card. My step-daughter (sweetest girl in the world) wanted a sound bar for her flat screen TV. The only place we could find it cheaper than online was at Cosco so we went and did it. We got a Cosco card. Now don't get me wrong, Cosco is nice, Sam's club is nice too, but I don't think we would be needing to buy anything like 1500 rolls of toilet. Yeah, I'm over doing it but hey, it's like that there. I saw people going numbnuts over a spiral cut ham. There were so many people that I almost lost David in there and he had ahold on my hand. He was going wild thinking we could buy this and this and this. I was saying no and no and no. He said it was like shopping with the Game Warden. No, you can't shoot that, you have no license.

But he did get the sound bar and he bought a ham. A small one that I'll be cooking and still cutting up for sandwiches for weeks to come. I could have gone to HEB and gotten one cheaper and smaller for the both of us. But hey, everything is bigger and better in Texas.

I went back to my doctor late Wednesday afternoon last week because I still had a bad cough and a bit of heaviness in the chest. He made me get another x-ray. I have ... get this ... walking fucking pneumonia. YES! He gave me another bunch of stronger antibiotics Zithromax and  Amoxicillin. Some other things like a cough syrup that tastes like chocolate covered cherries, and I have to use a breathing machine three times a day and an inhailer to help with my breathing. Fucking pneumonia! I feel better now, but my breathing is still a bit short and labored. I have to go back for another x-ray this afternoon and then see my doctor right after that. I'm hoping everthing is gone and that it's all a bad cough now. Crossing my fingers and chanting to myself.

Tickle Me Tuesday ~ Mrs. Brown's Boys

Monday

I'm feeling a bit better. I finished my ZPac antibiotics Sunday morning. I still have my cough, but it's not a "burning my lungs and wanting to rip the bloody things out" kind of cough. It's a dry cough with lots of fatigue. Yes, I'm very tired because I can't get any sleep. So I have been spending a lot of time on the internet playing around. Not much else to do except watch TV which is boring as hell.

Sunday night was really bad. Nothing on TV to watch. The Walking Dead is in hiatus until February 14th. Then it starts back up with 8 more episodes. Strange how some shows do 8 and 8 instead of just playing reruns for the holidays and then going back to regular routine. It all sucks.

I found out over the weekend that David will be off for the Christmas/New Year shutdown at work in about 2 weeks. Yes, I have exactly 2 weeks to get my shit together to figure out a game plan to keep him busy and leave me alone while he's home. Oh, and I found out it's not just for one week that he will be home, but for 2 weeks shutdown vacation. Crap on toast. What am I going to do? There isn't enough work to keep him busy all day. I might as well save some money and run away from home in order to get peace and quiet. The man gets bored and bothers me, and if that's not all he sends the puppies into where ever I am to bother me. Oh well, it's only 2 weeks. I'll muddle through it all.

I'd Turn Back Now if I were You.

I'm giving you fair warning. If you don't want to read about my being sick, then just move on and read another blog today. I won't mind.


Well, on Tuesday, after I finished my blog post for the day, I called my doctor's office to see if he could prescribe something to stop the coughing. Nope, not gonna happen. He wanted to see me so he said that he will tell the girls out front to set up a chest x-ray at the hospital and that I was to get it done NOW, and then report to his office ASAP. I did and it wasn't good. I have a bad case of bronchitis. He gave me a 5 day Z-Pac (antibiotics)and an inhaler to help with the breathing.

I'm on my second day of my antibiotics and only used my inhaler six times now. The burning sensation in my bronchial tubes is almost gone and the coughing is down to a minimum except for at night, so I know I'm getting better.

On a brighter side, I did manage to get a prescrition to legally kill David for giving me his cold on Thanksgiving morning. The bad thing is, no one will fill it for me.

Tuesday is Monday's Ugly Step-sister

First I have to say to Pickleope from the comment yesterday, YES, yes there is orange honey. You can find it online if you can't go to Florida to buy it. There are several sites that sell it, but I buy mine at Amazon. Just make sure it says raw orange blossom on the label. I used to buy Tropic Bee, but now I use Winter Park. Winter Park tastes better.

Has anyone seen this!?! This is really sweet.

What's even better is the fact that this guy looks like the most authentic Santa in ages. Check out the story on ~

Okay, update. My cold has officially moved down to my lungs. It hurts like hell too feels like my lungs have live hot coals when I cough. Really, it does. Everytime I cough I have such pain that I want to rip my lungs and bronchial tubes out of my body. I feel like I have the beginnings of bronchitis for sure now. Thank you very-fucking-much David. I'll make sure you get something nice like the flu for Yule/Christmas.
