Whew. Finally. Starting to come back out of this sore throat / cough that has been terrible. It's not your average little, ooh my throat is sore type of deal. It's like strep throat sore without it actually being strep throat. It hurt to breathe, talk, sit still, lay down, eat, drink, cough, etc. Now, it only hurts when I talk, cough, eat or drink. That's a definite improvement though! Whatever this was, not only got me down, but my dh is coming down with it and actually agreed to let me have the doctor call in a script for him as well, and I think Emmy had a little touch of it yesterday as well.
I have a script for antibiotics and some cherry flavored Codeine Cough syrup (yay for Walgreens and their awesome pharmacist who suggested that!) and another day off from work. That makes two vacation days and we aren't even two months into the year. Whew. Hopefully, this will be gone by Monday.
It also made me reschedule my winner, winner, chicken dinner winery dinner winner dinner that was supposed to be tomorrow afternoon. I know that William from Fence Stiles had health issues late last year, plus I didn't want to take the chance that I would still be contagious and pass it along to others (sorry to all my co-workers yesterday, lol). We will reschedule it for later.
I made it through seven hours of work yesterday, including a little time to help decorate for our American Heart Association challenge. All of the other groups that participated did a great job with their pods, but I still think that ours stands a pretty good chance of winning. : ).. I did manage to make this yesterday to include in our pod..
Plus, I stopped by WalMart and picked up some healthy snacks. I got apples, fat free popcorn, sugar free jello, granola bars and some sugar free punch packets. We are giving the snacks to the team that had the best QA average, which turned out to be our Custom Home Services (the celebrity / rich / well to do division) and Home Health (the I've fallen and I can't get up) group.
Not sure when we will know which pod won, but, we stand a pretty good chance. : )..
Alrighty. I am going to take a break for a minute and try to get me something to drink.
Later!
Glad you're doing a little better. Sounds like you need to have a restful weekend with the family though.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jill. I do believe that is in the plans. : )..
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you were illen. Seems to be going around everywhere like crazy! I hate strep throat, I hate sore throats PERIOD. Keep recouping and enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie, I am starting to get past it. I'm down to having a deep cough, my sore throat has finally all but disappeared. : ).. However, dh has also come down with it, so hopefully once he gets done with his prescriptions (same as mine) we will both be finished with it! Hope you have a great weekend as well!
