tick tock

i am sitting here - procrastinating and watching the clock, wishing it would turn faster. waiting on my mom, dad, sister and grandma to get here. they will be in tonight. i am sure that there are a million things that i should be doing to get ready or could be doing to get ready. but instead i keep entering their flight numbers into the status on the airline website to see if they are flying any faster then they were 5 minutes ago. i am certain that when rob comes home in a little bit he will have lots for me to do to occupy my mind. but until then. i am just waiting.

ok, so i haven't written in a while. i have been really busy. and kind of out of it, as my life has decided to fuck with me... just to see if i am paying attention.

november 30th started like any other day at my office, until i got laid off. yep, that's right. working at a large university does not in fact guarantee your employment through a recession. i am actually really ok with it, since i think it is just a way of my life letting me know to get off my ass and do something with it. but it is still a bit of a stressor.

then december 4th, i was up all night puking. thought i had food poisoning. saturday i was out of it, (duh i thought, after all i was UP ALL NIGHT PUKING) then that night i spiked a fever, had chills woke up sunday thinking i had been hit my a bus, run over and drug along a back country road. finally gave up on the all natural remedies and went to the dr on wednesday. he told me that it might be the flu (yes, THAT flu) but that he wasn't going to test since it was too late for the anti virals. (um, ok...) then friday, fatty mcnatty woke up sick, so i took her to her doctor and while i was there i got a free once over by him and he told me "you are on the wrong medicine." wrote me a new prescription. to take care of my sinus infection, ear infection and upper respiratory infection. fatty mcnatty had the sinus, ear and pink eye. we are a yummy bunch. so i switched medicine and monday didn't feel any better and now have a debilitating cough that actually makes me stop breathing. but it's cool, i actually don't need oxygen. you know, being a superhero and all. anyway, i call the pediatrician, who is actually a general practitioner, to see what i can take while breastfeeding, because dammit, being up all night coughing is not my idea of fun. he calls me in something. (at this point i could go into my last of MANY reasons as to why i will never ever ever buy anything ever ever at a walgreens again - but that will bore all of you to death and take up too much room) i pick it up and it does not a damn thing for my cough. so i called today, and switched to be a patient of his. he is worried about me being sick since it makes me useless, and i tell him to write me a prescription for a nanny, maid and a week in bed. he just laughs at me.

but i did get a fabulous shot in my ass. well not IN my ass, but in my "hip" which last time i checked it not where the shot actually ended up. some crazy ass super strong KILL EVERYTHING IN YOUR SYSTEM antibiotic shot that is supposed to make me all better. and i got an inhaler so i can breath if i want to. and some steroids to speed up my healing. and some serious cough syrup. so GOD WILLING i will wake up tomorrow (which means actually getting to sleep!!) and feel like a million bucks. minus feeling like i was shot in the ass. which is how i feel now. 1/2 deaf, congested and ass shot.

but it has been a great couple of weeks.
