I was pretty sick several days last week and stayed home from Thursday to yesterday except for going to the doctor on Friday. I'm feeling much better but coughing all over the place.
I have a cold but Stacy and I were both concerned about congestion that was seeming to start and was waking me up at all hours of the night.
The doctor said "it's not a cold, it's your allergies". Well, I do admit that allergies I never had in California have been quite a problem for me since our permanent move here, but I have a cold and we just wanted to make sure it wasn't becoming something worse. O...........K..........., then why do I have all the other 'cold' like symptoms too? He didn't have an answer, so we talk for a bit while he goes over my file (this isn't like the HMO's back in CA, you get real one on one time around here!) I get a prescription for a nose spray for my sinuses and I'm told to get some Over The Counter cold stuff and I'm on my way.
Since the snow is almost totally gone and the standing water has almost all been absorbed due to temps in the mid 40's for a couple of weeks, I was able to drive the Solstice for the first time in 2010. I put 35 miles on it as I drove around the area a bit while the prescription was called over to make sure everything was all working again. Actually I saw that a lot of ground plants are getting green again already. It is still technically winter though and the nights have been low 20's so I don't think the grass will be growing real fast quite yet.
Since I haven't felt that great not much has been done other than the usual routine tasks.
At the post office where Stacy and I work on the second floor, they're removing and replacing the handicapped access ramp that is the south access and entrance to the main lobby. Stacy said the jackhammer was really bad on Thursday and Friday when they first started taking out the cement ramp. Until about a half hour ago it wasn't any better today! The whole building, 1937 brick, cement and metal, reverberates when they use the jackhammer but it's also all being done about 15 feet below our windows so it is REALLY loud!
Luckily for Stacy she's had to be at the Courthouse for a lot of the day. It's just very, very noisy.
I took a photo but I can't get the photo loaded to the blog page today. Some problem with Picasa according to the pop up window. I'll try again later, they'll be working on it for a while.
Stacy has been working on quilting and is taking a class that meets every few weeks to give the 'students' time to get their projects done for the next class. She does really good work at everything she tries!
Well, I guess I'll work on the photo problem and post again later!
Anybody else watching the Olympics?
