Ugh, Frustration!

No posting or cooking in a while because I've still been feeling like crap! despite just completing two weeks of antibiotics on Tuesday.  I kept feeling rapidly worse and called the ENT doctor (I'm way too lazy to try and figure out how to spell otorhinolargyinologist correctly at this hour) on Thursday in hopes that maybe I could get an appointment.  I think the receptionist felt pity on the barely-there sound of my voice and squeezed me in for a quick visit at the hospital in between surgeries this afternoon.  Apparently my cold which turned into a sinus infection had spread into my ears and upper throat, so I'm now on ridiculously strong antibiotics, steroids, two inhalers, Mucinex, probiotics and some other pills that are supposed to keep the antibiotics from destroying my stomach lining....for 21 days.  That is sure going to be fun.  My pharmacy total came to $65.18, which was nice because I was honestly expected a much higher number. Thank goodness for health insurance!   I go back in three weeks for follow up and hopefully all will be well so I can keep putting off the sinus surgery I was supposed to get last year.  Fingers crossed for me!

I've also been busying trying to get ready to move next week this week, despite feeling like crap.  I've been working hard though...and so far have packed a grand total of...two boxes. I've thought alot about what to pack, and made lots of lists though, so I feel like I should celebrate some progress at least...right?!?! I also in a clear display of priorities, updated all my magazine subscription addresses online and then remembered I should probably tell my bank about me moving too.

Okay well here is hoping the PM cold medicine kicks in soon and that I can actually sleep rather than be up half the night coughing and sneezing.  I need to be nice and refreshed tomorrow, because in addition to packing and starting to move things to the new house, grocery shopping MUST occur. There are absolutely NO vegetables, fresh or frozen, in my kitchen and I have REALLY been craving grilled asparagus lately.  Mmmm...getting hungry just thinking about it. 

PS..A friend and I decided to go to the Virginia Wine Showcase in February and they have an entire seminar dedicated to olive oil tasting hosted by All Things Olive, a really cute little shop in Maryland that has the most amazing flavored olive oils ever.  And I found out that Dave Matthews owns a vineyard that offers $5 lunch at tastings Monday-Saturday.  Next time I have to drive down to Charlottesville to see my oncologist I'll definitely be stopping to make the day and drive a bit more enjoyable.  Fortunately it will be this summer since I've been cancer free for almost 3 years now :).

Okay, bedtime for real now.
