On Sunday Nathan took me to urgent care where they told me that my sinus infection never went away with the antibiotic that I got 2 and a half weeks ago, and that I also had the flu. This came as no shock to me. The frustrating thing was the amount of coughing that I have had for about a month now. I am happy to say that with my new antibiotic, my coughing has all but disappeared. St. Mary's had school Monday and Tuesday, and I missed both days because on the medicine I'm taking you're not supposed to drive or work. That was kind of a bummer, but I completely understand why they suggest doing neither of those things while on this medication. The best way I can think to describe the feeling is "googly." Googly, nauseous, and impared.
St. Mary's cancelled school today because we got another 10 inches of snow, so I got an extra day to recoup. Which is nice because the googly medicine is helping a lot, and tomorrow I'll have to stop taking it so I can go to work. Its not actually called "the googly medicine." Its Lortab. The doctor said that it has the same active ingredients in cough medicine (hydrocodone), so I didn't have to get 2 different prescriptions - they're knocking out the body/head aches and the coughing with one medicine. We'll see how tomorrow goes. I know I'll be completely exhausted by the end of the day, but it'll be good to see my precious students again. THAT, I am really excited about! Nathan dug my car out of the snow and turned it around so I wouldn't have to back out in the morning when I'm leaving for school. It has been 10 days since I have driven. Thats crazy, and might be a record.
Let me just say that Nathaniel David Hearn is the most wonderful person I've ever known. He takes care of me like no one else can. I love him dearly. So so grateful for him in my life.
Tomorrow its back to everything. It has been a week since my last run. I'm thinking that over training might have been partially to blame for the poor quality of my immune system. So I'm going to take it a bit easier now. Freaking out and trying to do a 5-miler right off the bat won't work. We'll try 1.5 or 2 for tomorrow and see how it goes. I'll get there...can't get ahead of myself. Hopefully I won't have to take a week off again.
List update: I went to Purple Glaze and Ida Red. My reaction to Purple Glaze was that it would be awesome to go there and spend the day - but that place takes time - something I did not really have. Its not really a stop by and browse kind of a place. I'll have to bring a friend and make a day of it. If I could do that, which I will, that place would be totally awesome, although a little pricy. Ida Red was pretty much a big fat disappointment. The people that work there were all talking to eachother when I walked in and didn't even look up when the little bell rang announcing my entrance. Oh and that never changed as I browsed around the store - it was like I was invisable. Not cool. Also, besides an extensive Toms selection - which was cool, the actual merchandise was pretty lame and way overpriced. While I will definitely make a point to return to Purple Glaze when I can do the experience justice, I will not make a repeat visit to Ida Red.
There you go.
