Well, I've felt like crap off and on for over 2 weeks now. I had a cold prior to our conceal carry class, it was really bad that morning but I rebounded somewhat but never quite kicked in and now 2+ weeks later, I still have it. I really need to go back to my regimen of Airborne every day during the winter, I really dislike being sick.
It finally got worse yesterday to the point that at 5:30 am, I got up to take a hot bath with Eucalyptus Oil to try to clear my head. I was so stopped up I could literally not even smell the Eucalyptus oil sniffing it straight from the bottle. Ben said he could just walk past the bathroom and smell it but me, nope, couldn't smell a thing, so it really didn't help me much.
I went back to bed and slept to about 8:45 and determined I needed to get to urgent care and get some Antibiotics so I'd hopefully feel better to make my way around at the farm show later this week. Urgent care didn't open until 1pm, so I had a while to get motivation up to just get on something other than PJ's.
I'm not sure why they call them urgent care because there's really nothing urgent about them. I waiting an hour or so in the waiting room with a bunch of others that sounded like me, finally got in a room, waiting another 50 minutes or so for the nurse practitioner to get to me to tell me what I already knew, Sinus Infection. Now to just hope Walgreens wasn't too backed up, I didn't want to wait another hour for my meds!
Thankfully the drugstore was not backed up and I was finally able to get some meds and get home by about 4:15. Thankfully I did sleep better last night and feel somewhat better, but still stopped up, coughing and sound awful, it's tough to talk, which isn't useful when you talk all day for a living. Maybe Tuesday will be better once the antibiotics have had 24 hours in my system.
So my weekend that I was looking so forward to because I had nothing planned ended up being a weekend of just trying to feel better. Glad I had nothing much to do other than do laundry for Ben so he could pack to head to the National Farm Machinery Show today.
Now let's go back to last weekend. Tiffany is having a baby girl mid March, so exciting!!!! And we had a baby shower for her on Feb 2nd. Mom and Mallory went with me and we left out Friday around noon to head up to Ohio. Mallory was great during the 7 hour drive and thankfully I wasn't feeling too bad that weekend. Weird how it goes and comes.
We battled through nonstop snow in Ohio on Saturday, and it did affect the attendance of those who had planned on coming to the shower because the roads were getting slick, but we had a good turnout and had a great time. Can't wait to meet little Miss Pattison! I think this was Tiffany's last planned shower, so she's got the bulk of everything she needs, the nursery is ready, Mallory taught Bella and Bernie about little people and all are ready for her arrival!
While we were gone, Daddy and Ben got to work burning the 30 foot tall brush pile at the house site. Thankfully that was far less of an issue that we thought. I think we were thinking blazing inferno and were afraid we'd burn down all the woods, but it just smoldered down, flames never really got high and by the end of the day it was actually almost totally burned. With a few pushes of the loader, it was pushed back up and the last of it burned down. For something that we were really dreading, it wasn't too bad! Hopefully on to building soon!
