I am better

Now to see how long it lasts. The Z-pac of antibiotics the dr. prescribed seems to have done the trick as far as the major congestion. but boy the second and third day of taking them I was so tired I could barely move. It felt like my body was burning all it's energy helping the antibiotic do it's job!
The weather today hasn't really helped the feeling good. Rain. And lots of it. We had a lake the whole lenght of the fence out back. We got all of 20 minutes of sun between bands of rain and Albie and Jay did a quick walk out somewhere because I really didn't want to let him out to splash around in the back yard. At least on the sidewalk he was on a leash and Jay had some control over how wet he got!

Ok, How I'm feeling

I have been sick and coughing since the 20th of Dec. The visit to the dr. in Colorado only helped for a few days and then I was bad again. I finally broke down yesterday and called my dr. here. I'm not sure yet how I feel about it since he didn't come to see me, just called in a prescription based on the symtoms I described. This isn't the first time he has done that and it is beginning to get to me. However, I also have to admit that that saves me the money for a visit and I am kind of glad about that! I'm taking the antibiotic and admit after just one day of the puppy I'm feeling a little better. Of course as I write this I am starting to cough!
But I'll take it and see how I feel. And then I think if I have to stay here much longer I am going to be looking for a new dr. Ideally, a woman. I've never really liked dealing with his nurse anyway.
So for now, I have hopes of finally being better soon.

"Two" says the count, TWO

I finished up a second knitty gift last night while watching the tape of the Men's Final at the Australian Open. Boy that was some good tennis!!
I am almost afraid to say that I also feel better today. might jinx it. but my head is a little clearer and the cought is not as over powering by far. Guess my body is a two year old. Threaten it with a dr. visit and it finally starts to get better.
Snow is melted down a bit. but since we got back well below freezing last night it iced over and now Albie can walk on top most of the time. he doesn't like it when he falls in though! LOL
And I slept through the super bowl. I decided if my body was going to let me sleep, I would sleep. Saw maybe ten plays. The tennis was a lot more fun.

As the Count on Sesame Street would say

"That's ONE done. ONE Christmas gift done. Hahaha".
Aint saying what I got done but there is one thing off the knitting needles and a second one started. I'm having fun, they are easy to do while watching the Tennis down under in the first major of the season and something is just telling me to make them so I am.
We had two fairly pretty days here with themps in the high 40s. Just enough to get rid of the snow and make mud for Albie to play in. Now we are heading back to the deep freeze they say with a storm brewing far enough west that they don't know what we will get out of it, just that the weather will change again in the middle of the week!

It's been a while

But it didn't seem to make much sense to post when I was with the three or four people who are most likely to read this anyway.
Obviously, we are home. I still have the cold that had me knocked down at Christmas. I've looked at all the pictures from Christmas day and I look terrible! Felt that way too. Jay is still job hunting. found three today to apply for but we are hoping that job at Crane will get posted this week.
I'm knitting and have even been in the sewing room working on quilting a quilt! GASP!! LOL
Ok, not much but enough for now. At least I have put something up. Now it is someone else's turn!! Go for it family.
And why don't the boys, i.e. Dan and Reid, have blogs?? HUUUMMMMMM. Enquiring minds want to know! ask them wives!

A lousy two days

Well, Jay and I are finally feeling better and it was one duzy of a flu. and it was FLU!
We got word Wens. that Jay will not be offered the position he was hoping for in Co. then today, we learned that his brother David has cancer in his throat. We don't know more then that, they are still doing tests.
So, we are "escaping". Heading west to be exact. Going to Jenna's and then on to see Sarah and Dan's new house. Then we will all be back in Monte Vista for Christmas and have about a week together, then Dan and Sarah go back do CA and the rest of us head back to Indiana so Reid can see his folks.
More went I get the energy!

Just creeping along

Jay is still not feeling good. He has already gone to bed and it is only 10:00. I'm doing ok but still don't seem to have a lot of energy. However, I did do the dishes, get laundry done and manage to squeeze a shower out of the hot water tank! And give Albie a bath since he went out and played in the mud this morning. I was reading and he was happy and I wasn't paying attention so he needed a bath by the time he wanted to come back in! But at least now he is a clean dog again!
And there you have it. Our not exciting day!
