I cannot afford to get sick. Yes, I have lots of problems with migraines and allergies and other health issues. But being sick...oy! I have had the hardest time with this sinus infection. I don't have the drainage and stuffiness or any of that to deal with any more, so that's a plus. But omg the side effects from the meds. I have had nausea, headache, and a weird metallic taste in my mouth. The symptoms come and go, so it's not like I'm dealing with them constantly. And I know it's the antibiotic because I have had meds from this family before and they have always made me nauseous. I can't have 2 of the major drug groups because I have drug allergies, so I know that discomfort for ten days is a small price to pay versus the alternative. The doctor did give me a choice of a couple of other meds, but being that I couldn't miss work, I couldn't choose the 3 or 5 day courses (because I've had 'em before and I get the runs). I was uber sick last night....literally. Not fun at all.

Thank goodness Brant did the vacuuming. (He normally does, but I didn't even help.). Most of my gifts are finally wrapped, and I just need to find one more address for a Christmas card. The stockings aren't out yet, though, and the bathrooms need to be cleaned and the living room needs to be picked up today before the piano tuner comes. I also have a ton of school stuff that needs to get done before the end of the month, and I have to go through all the kids' things before Christmas somehow and clean the master closet. Not to mention that I have guests coming so all my nights from December 28 through
January 6 are probably not free.

Santa, please send me a personal assistant! And yes I know I complain too much!





















































Do you think Santa will send me personal assistant for Christmas?

BTW...my whole thread there is jacked up, and I guess it's too hard to fix on the iPad. So sorry...I am too lazy to go to the desktop right now!

I hope you start feeling better soon. Antibiotics always give my stomach trouble.

I had to go to urgent care on Sat because I had a sinus infection and pink eye. Just finished my antiobiotics yesterday and finish my eye drops tomorrow. I hope you start feeling better.

well, i finally started feeling better b'c i'm not on the meds, but i have a sneaking suspicion that i'm sick again. really. my ear was hurting again today, and i feel facial pressure and have allergy shiners. i have to go to the allergist on wed., so i'll ask him to check me out. i'm going to make app'ts for the kids as well. both of them have been breathing through their mouths and they have allergy shiners as well, esp. joshie. josh also had an enormous bright green boogey come out of his nose today so euww yeah, i think all 3 of us have caught round 2. bleh. of course bil and sil are scheduled to arrive on wed.!
