Feeling better...

Well...today is 48 hrs post meds...and I'm finally beginning to feel much better. My sore throat is history (knock on wood, LOL) and I'm starting to blow "clear" now (something I haven't seen for a while)...so I know that the worst is behind me... YAY!! Yuck, I hate being sick...it's not for me...and I'm excited about getting back to life as usual. I plan on getting back on my "dusty" treadmill tomorrow...I'm not going to push it, but I will just go on a gentle walk until I'm feeling 100%. I also have to get Chase's bday put together tomorrow...so, thank goodness I'm feeling better!

I forgot that Brunettes can have fun too!!

Well...I did make it in to the salon this morning, hacking all the way, LOL...anyway, Shelby put in some much needed low-lites and now I'm much darker only a few wisps of blond remain. I'm happy with it...makes my skin look better (not so washed out). I love being a little blond, but I have to be careful to not go too blond! I'll add a pic (as soon as I get one) of my new darker doo!

Gotta love BIG BELT BUCKLES...

Well...last night was the PBR Bull Riders Only show at the Colorado State Fair Events Center. Ray also got us tickets to the VIP party before the show (free beer). It was really great to see Murph and Donielle again...Murph is such a character and Donielle is just a lotta fun! I think Clay had a good time too! As usual, it was a good time. Strangely, when I woke up yesterday...I felt pretty good...today, I'm feeling kinda yucky again. I did start my Z-pack today, and I'm already feeling the gastic side effects, LOL...good thing I didn't take it Tues. or yesterday!! Notice I did have to take a photo with one of the riders (can't remember his name)...he's just a bebe, LOL!

Too blond??

I used to think that there's no such thing as being "too blond"...however, after my last trip to the hair salon...I'm beginning to think that somehow, someway...I've become "too" blond, LOL! I was just going over some pictures from last night...and what I thought I was thinking was just confirmed, LOL!! OMG...I look so washed out...I cannot be this blonde!! So I called Shelby, she's gonna have me come in tomorrow morning hopefully to add some low-lites (to tone down the blond). My next regular appt isn't til March 17th so no way could I wait that long. Hopefully, that (low-lites) will do the trick! We shall see...

My treadmill is getting dusty...

Uhhhh...yes, it's now been a week since getting on the treadmill. Why oh why does every time I try to start an exercise routine, I either get sick or injured? Hmmmm...maybe I'm just allergic to exercise, LOL! Okay...I'm actually feeling pretty good today...not a 100%, but better than I've felt all week. I am not going to let this dumb sinus crud derail my fitness plan. I am going to give myself the rest of the week to get better (starting my Z pack first thing in the morning) and then hopefully by next Monday, I'll get back on track. In the past, I've always let setbacks on my exercising just squash the whole thing...but not this time...I'm determined to keep going. I know there are going to be setbacks, but I can't let them derail the path I'm on. Now...I just gotta get rid of this hacking cough, LOL...

Placebo Effect??

Okay, whilst I was at Walmart waiting on my prescription...I did a little very necessary shopping. As I stood in the vitamin isle, I decided to try a little experiment. Since Chase is completely off the Straterra (evil poison)...I thought maybe I would see if giving him a "pill" might psychologically "help" him. So, I bought some Vitamin C caplets and filled his old prescription bottle. I'm just going to tell him that Dr. Hardy wants to try a "new" pill. The vitamin C will be good for him either way...so, starting tomorrow...we'll see how the new "pill" works! The mind is a powerful thing and if he thinks the pill will help him...it just might! I will try and update in a month or so to see how he's doing!

Well, it's official...

I have a sinus infection. Dr. Kemling was "out" today (as Wednesdays are his usual day off) so I saw Mark Williams, PA (aka: Mathew Broderick) LOL!! Anyway, after going thru the history of this illness...he said it seems likely it began as a viral infection and I've since developed a secondary bacterial infection (sinus crud)...then he asked me if I wanted "treatment"...ummmm, yeah dude, I didn't pay $20 copayment just to come in here and have you tell me what I already know, HELLO??? Naaa....I really like Mark...he's very thorough and I really like the way he explains things and he looks just like Mathew Broderick to boot, LOL. So I have a 3 day Zpack...but now the question is should I start it now or wait til tomorrow night? I know the answer must seem obvious, but one reason I'm thinking of delaying it is that we have a sort of social/business thing tomorrow night...Okay, it's the PBR's Bull Rider's Only show...but we're taking Tim...and Clay (who's coming down from Steamboat Springs) and also the Southern Colorado Atmos Manager and his wife (Murph and Donielle)...anyway, Zithromax always seems to give me, ummmm...stomach "complications". My reasoning is that I doubt I will be "much" improved in just 24 hrs...so, it's quite likely I'll feel about the same as I do today so...why risk stomach troubles (as there will be much food and beverage) if there probably won't be a significant improvement. Nolan is being DD so we can all have a great time! Well, I'm gonna think on this is little more and then I gotta make a decision...but I'm leaning on waiting to take the Z til tomorrow night. I think I'll take some NyQuil and go to bed early...that will probably help a lot! Hmmmm....decisions, decisions....
