This month has been an ordeal of topsy-turvy ups and downs, not just because we've got kids now but also because I've been going through a slew of medical tests. In a routine follow up with my doctor last month, it was determined that I needed to see a few specialists for some pain that I'd been having in my lower right abdomen. ( To read more click here. )

It appears like I am struck with the beginnings of the Death Plague again, and right before a big trip for me - again.

I'm slightly feverish, but not overly. More a low grade fever. Got that scratchy thing at the back of my throat again which is likely just post nasal drip.

Do not want to be sick. Am going to NYC this weekend.

Meh.

It is over. I am through with you. You need to see this and understand this. I want nothing more to do with you. It is /over/. Please, get that through your miniscule mind, and dislodge yourself from my person. You are unwelcome. GO AWAY. Three weeks of this nonsense is enough. I really do not want to be engaged for another three.

Sincerely,

Me.

The mysterious issue that I had back in February/March, that caused my body all sorts of havoc in the aftermath, is back ( Read more... )

... is making its way around work. Last week, one person was out for most of the week with 2 others leaving early because of illness on Friday. One of them has still yet to return. Another went home early yesterday, and has not come back. Another went home today. Nasty stomach virus.

Here's to crossing my fingers that I do not get it.

Course, it's only kinda snowing. It's a hesitant snow. But, it is snow. After waiting all winter for a 2nd snow after our first. I don't expect it to last, but it's better happening at night, when it will last throughout, than during the day when it'll just melt away ( Read more... )

Last night I had a small outbreak of hives, though it appears Claritin helped to clear that up straight away. Have to figure out what is causing this. Meh. But, I did enjoy the two weeks off that I had, and last night was not so bad that it was detrimental to my sleep pattern -- since I had gone to bed at an ungodly 9:45, which is not usual for me ( Read more... )

So, I went to my father’s house this weekend for Christimas. I swear he is worse than I am about cleaning, and the dust in the house is…. phenomenal. He cleans around the Holidays and lets things pile up until then. What this means, for me, is that I got sick. I was fine the first two days in the house, and then the last two days I came down with a ( Read more... )

Last night was the first night in a week and a half that I was able to get a full night’s sleep. Heaven. Relief. I can only hope that this continues and keeps up. However, I practically had to freeze myself to accomplish this. I had to prop my window open, and turn my ceiling fan on full force. The result? Restful sleep, and no indication of hives ( Read more... )

Apparently the beasties that are hives never actually fully went away. I had thought that they had. I had hoped. But they have not. Approximately 2 hours after I fall asleep, since about Friday, I’ve been waking up pretty itchy. The last two nights, parts of me have had hives resurface. This is not a happy making thing right before the cruise ( Read more... )
