I am on so many pills right now it is crazy! No wonder I am not feeling great. I have taken, already today (lunchtime) 7 pills along with some syrup! Amazing. But my ears finally popped a little bit today. It actually is not great because I can’t blow my nose as hard as I had been because it is KILLING my ear. Still just one ear is clearing though. I think I am going to be good enough to go out of town tomorrow. I am not driving except to meet them and then I can just nap in the car because there will be 3 of us. Now that means I have to have clothes to wear
I did play a little bit of tennis with the puppies and now it is raining pretty hard. We are supposed to get the worst of it this evening – hopefully all cleared by the time I need to leave.
Alright, I threw in the towel and am not going tomorrow. I am getting really dizzy the more I am standing up and walking around and stuff.
I didn’t get a picture today because I was basically laying in bed most of the time. Oh goodness I haven’t been this sick in a while, I am so glad though I have not got a stomach virus. Thank goodness!!!
No, not a Doctor Who reference, but LOVE him I went to the doctor today and got 3 count them 3 prescriptions. I went to pick them up and she only gave me two so that made me have to stay dressed and go back out for it. I did however also get a light bulb for my fan, which has been out for about 3 months I can’t really reach it with the new bed so it seems a little less important, but now that I have it back – LET THERE BE LIGHT
I am not able to play with the puppies today, I am just too warn out. I also let my coworker know that I may not be making this next trip. We are driving so that is better, but if we were flying it would be a for sure NO. I will have to let her know tomorrow how I feel.
Mom made soup and grilled cheese for her and I for dinner. It was good. I can’t taste anything right now, so it is just food. No need to eat my good icecream if I can’t taste it…
Alright, sorry for being short again, but I need to get to sleep.
Nickel helping make the bed.Yep, big help :)Sleeping Penny – she was wagging her tailDime with her ball…
So this morning my mom and I were going to the doctor to see about getting me some medicine so I actually got up and got dressed. We went, but the wait was long so we made an appointment for tomorrow. Then we went to WalMart for some stuff – ice cream and came home.
Paul and Carlos are out, they did a bunch of stuff already. We had pizza for lunch and then I went back to sleep. I think I am coughing a little less, but that really takes the energy out of you.
Carlos brought some stuff over for me to copy which is nice. I haven’t really been messing with the server lately, but I need to get some content back
I ordered a hotspot from T-Mobile that is $10.00 a month with unlimited data. I hope that it works well, I will try it and see. Won’t take long to figure it out
Well, I am going to cut this blog short too because I am so very tired and hot so I guess I am gonna take my temp too and see if I have a fever now
Better stuff tomorrow I hope
Dime in the corner, after she just tore Nickel up.
I am so happy that I drove home last night because today I am in bad shape. I am so sick. My mom had a nurse come over to help her and apparently she was like get her to a doctor today. Well, I don’t feel like getting up yet so I am not going today. I think I will go tomorrow.
No, not a trailer like a trailer park the cutin trailer. Today was nothing but paperwork and Chimichangas – and Reeses mini cups ha ha ha ha
We worked so hard yesterday and today getting these locations ready to be put into service on Monday, it makes me very happy. I think it will go so smooth
I was out like a light yesterday, read I think a page of the book. I woke up in a panic at midnight though thinking it was morning 😉 Guess you know it was good sleep. I am very snotty today and am very happy I am not flying home. That would be miserable, but I am not certain a 5 hour drive will be much better.
I think we are going to wrap up here pretty soon and then I am going to crash again and see if I can feel a bit better for tomorrow.
Oh my goodness today was a long day working on the railroad. We were supposed to spend a day in the cutover trailer doing paperwork and ended up needing to visit 6 locations to gather information before we could do the paperwork. Now we are sitting in the trailer and we just finished building that!!!!!!
I am pooped – it is hot outside, I got rained on, and walking on the ballast (the rocks) is HARD with little feet!!
I am back at the hotel now. I went and got some food, nothing special, but more importantly I went to CVS and got some cough medicine. I am about to clean up and take lots of drugs that will make me sleepy (I hope).
Got a couple good pics today so here they are and have a great night!!
Train :)The inside of a relay.New and old signals.
Today I have 2 meetings, one at 08:00 and the other at 14:00 and then I leave to drive to Fairburn, Georgia – basically Atlanta. I am not really looking forward to it…
The first meeting went well and now I need to pack and put the rest of my laundry away. I think that Nickel knows I am going somewhere because my suitcase is out. He is hanging a little close by this morning
Alright, second meeting also went well, thought no one was going to join for a little bit but then like 40 people joined so that is good turnout. I am about to walk out the door, gotta say goodbye to the folks and the puppies
And 5 hours later I am in the hotel. Goodness!! Ran into just a little bit of rain but no real traffic so really it was smooth sailing, driving rather The lady gave me a room like with no other room around, which turns out to be pretty good because I am coughing like crazy. I hope I am not getting what mom had, but this stinks. I ate lunch really late on the drive so I am just gonna take these meds and get to bed!
I did not take a single picture today – what a bummer
I never remember this much clarification needed around Memorial Day, Veteran’s Day, and Armed Forces Day. I was talking with my dad about it and it is interesting how times change where in WWII it seemed like men could not wait to join up for the service, so many lied about their ages to get in and get over to the fighting before it was over. Then we have other wars where soldiers were not warmly welcomed home and treated very poorly. Now we seem to be back on the side of supporting troops and being a fairly proud military country (maybe). I live in a military town so my view is probably most definitely skewed. Anyway, not to be too political or whatever, but I do appreciate what people have done for this country and continue to do. I have been reading a lot about war and it is hard no matter how you look at it. It isn’t good, that’s a no brainer.
Just got back not that long ago from the store. Mom went with me, the first time she has really been out in a week. She did pretty good, but I think she got tuckered out. I got a couple pounds of shrimp and peeled them. Not sure how much is left, they were very good I ruined it by eating a piece of chocolate
I also got a couple backs of beer brats so that is what we are going to eat when Paul and Carlos get here. I am going to take a break from this now though so I can get the house swept and hopefully mopped. All swept and now waiting for the mop, but the boys just got here so maybe Carlos will mop
I am supposed to head out tomorrow afternoon for my next trip. It is about 5 hours away and I am not supposed to leave until after 15:00. I am sure that everything will be fine, just long – but it was such short notice I didn’t want to pay a huge price for a ticket.
I just got done with dinner, it turned out really great. Beer Bratwurst with onions, mac and cheese, and baked beans Yummy!!!
I am gonna go ahead and wrap it up. Gotta play with those puppies and do some work stuff.
This is what work looks like :)Carlos and Dime – so sweet!Carlos and Dime – give me a break :)
It’s not exactly the unexpected working day, but more work than expected I am trying to get my dad’s laundry done, mine done, a meal plan for this week, and a plan for people coming to check on the folks. Luckily I am not packing until Tuesday since I am leaving that night to go to Fairburn, Georgia.
Yesterday my bother and dad got the exit opener installed for our gate at the house. We have a sliding gate and it has been such a pain since we put it in. Not all of it is the opener’s fault. It sat for a long time before we installed it and then it got struck by lightning. I know – HUGE LIFE PROBLEMS ha ha ha.
I still have a couple small, maybe not small – minor, changes to be made to my room / bathroom before I am done. I want to tighten my pictures that are hanging over my bed, less space on the vertical lines. Then I got, what I think will work, as a towel holder. Would like to put that up today, I don’t see why I wouldn’t be able to so I will add a pic.
The dogs were let in this morning wet and full of sand so my bed is just FULL of sand. I have slept in it twice and will have to deal with that today too. Oh yeah, that’s another thing on the list, sweep the house and mop the common area.
The movie theatre by the house has opened and Carlos was planning on coming out tomorrow and maybe going out there. I am not sure what we are having for food, something on the grill probably – shrimp and hot dogs – ha ha ha, what a combo.
We are gonna have beanie weenies for dinner so now I have to go to the grocery store to get them. I hope they aren’t sold out for the holiday – that’s not possible, right?! I have seen where they were out of buns, but not hot dogs I will keep everyone posted on the developments of this very important story! Oh man, I just realized baked beans are big cookoout items too – OH NO!
Important Update: We decided to have sandwiches instead of beanie weenies. That is all.
I just got done with all of my dad’s laundry and now I am working on mine. I also just played with the puppies – they were exhausted because it is so hot outside. Goodness, they wouldn’t stop if I didn’t make them.
I think I am getting a little bit sick. I feel like my throat is going to be very sore tomorrow. I hope it goes quickly. I woke up last night about 3am and had to take some Aleve I had such a bad headache. I think it was from having a stuffed up nose and also coughing a little bit. In fact I just took some as a preemptive strike
By the way, basically finished the puzzle today – I need two words that I just cannot figure out. Have to ask dad for help tomorrow. He gave me some hints, but I did pretty good
Alright, I am going to clean the body, finish up my clothes, and go to bed – I don’t feel great Oh well!
