It is a quiet Saturday morning.  I am sitting in my recliner watching the "snow showers" we are experiencing.  When I first awoke it was thundering and raining.  Forecasters had said it would change to snow, but I really don't have much faith in their predictions (sorry weather guys!).  For me, this is kind of the calm after a "stormy" week. 

I did, indeed get down sick again.  Bronchitis, sinus infection, conjunctivitis (eye infection), fever, you name it, I had it.  I missed three days of work then insisted on dragging my sorry looking self into work for Thurs. and Friday.  Man, have I been a "sight" to behold.  I not only walked like I had been on an eight week drunk, the whites of my eyes were almost bloody, so I LOOKED liked I had really tied one on.  Scary folks, just plain scary.

By yesterday, I still wasn't much better.  I still can't hear out of my right ear very well and there is this ringing in my ears that's been there ALL week.  So yesterday, I threw me a HUGE pity party.  All I did, off and on for most of the day was cry!

I got my allergy shots yesterday and the "fill in" nurse made me cry.  I have only been getting allergy shots since I was in second grade....and I have never been made to cry before.  I want to know WHO in nursing school teaches these young things to give a shot in the arm in the very SOFT flesh at the back of your arm, almost underneath the arm?  Who???  I even ASKED her NOT to give it there.  When I said something she says " You want me to stop???"  I said NO JUST GET THE DOGGONE THING DONE!  I am usually polite, especially to new or fill in people.  I just couldn't be yesterday...I turned outta there and stormed out....crying like a baby.  Sheesh!  What a GIRL!!!

The next cry session came when I realized that I had missed by ONE freaking day, mailing in for a rebate hubby and I were wanting on one of our dishwashers.  I had to call and tell him I missed the deadline to possibly get about $500 bucks back.  He didn't even yell at me.  But after we hung up, I cried anyway in frustration at myself.

It seems like I cried the drop of a hat yesterday.  I called the Urgent Clinic, told them I wasn't better and could they call me in something else, to which I was answered NO!  I don't have the money to go in again and will struggle to pay for what I've already had done thus far thanks to my sucky insurance.  I explained all this to no avail.  Nothing would do but to have me come in.  And that. ain't. happening.  If I crawl up and die it ain't happening.  I was so frustrated after talking to them, what did I do folks?  Yep.  You got it.

Today, I have just determined I will take the rest of what they gave me and roll with it.  So WHAT if I can't hear well?  So WHAT if there is a ringing in my head driving me bonkers?  I am just sucking it up and I am going to enjoy watching the snow.

May I say that hubby has been a jewel this week.  I do not know what I would do without him.  He took such good care of me and I am just so thankful for him. Did I mention he didn't even YELL at me yesterday when I missed the rebate deadline?  Even I might have yelled at me for THAT one.  But nope.  He took it very well.

AND, he took me to Mimi's Cafe last night for heavenly comfort food!!  I had fresh turkey breast and dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy and their wonderful fresh breads.  AND we got me a buttermilk spice muffin to bring home for my breakfast!  Oh, and I have turkey left from my meal so I can indulge again today!!  I cannot tell you HOW good it all tasted.  I have eaten little to nothing all week (lost 6 pounds) so it was good to be even a little hungry.

Today, if we don't get snowed out, we will celebrate the 5th birthday of our youngest granddaughter.  She is SUPPOSED to have a party at one of those places (not Chucky's) where you play games etc.  I hope it pans out or our little princess will be heartbroken.  It is hard to believe she is growing up so fast.  First granddaughter will be 15 in July.  Boy, am I feeling OLD!!  Oh, and they have asked our daughter if the little princess will be the Cheerleading "Mascot" for her big sister's cheer squad next year.  She will even get to learn and do cheers with the big girls.  Now, it is just a matter of affording TWO in cheerleading.  I guess I don't need to tell anyone how expensive it is.  We have already been footing the bill for big sis.  So, I am not sure what we will do about la princess.

Oh.  The snow shower is SO pretty!! I guess I am going to get off here and take my meds like a good girl should and eat my wonderful muffin.

Whatever you all are doing this weekend my friends, have a great one and stay safe!  I love ya'll so much!

Hugs!
