O hai thar, levaquin!
So, sinus infection, not bronchitis. Still feeling like crap, though. Work tomorrow, come hives or high snowfall. I'm still not sure what to do about Christmas dinner. I'm hoping I'll feel well enough to go grocery shopping this afternoon. Damn it! I hate to 'dumb down' Christmas dinner! SH offered to have #2Son grill something. SRSLY?? You want to cook out? In Ohio?? For Christmas??? Is it too much to ask that someone go pick up a Honeybaked ham?? "You have to order those in advance and stand in line and..." WTF ever, dude. I'll deal somehow.
I did manage to guilt #3Son and his friend into helping decorate the big tree last night. SH decided to decorate the tree in the dining room by himself. "What are you putting on it?" asks I. "The box of ornaments for that tree." "Well, no, you're not because I just saw that box in the basement." "I'm putting these on." "Those are not all there are." As he made no move to bring up the others, I did it myself and then got punished with the guilts when he glared at me at bedtime and informed me that he was really sore and had done too much. (Hernia surgery a week ago.) Dude, I never asked you to deck the halls. I asked the boys. I just insisted that, if you were going to do it, you do it correctly with, you know, actual glass balls and such and not just the garlands. *eyeroll*
Newsflash: apparently a common side effect of levaquin is insomnia. Are you fucking kidding me?? SONOFABITCH! I tossed and turned all. night. long. I'm hoping that changing my dosing schedule and taking it this morning along with copious amounts of benadryl and my iPhone sleep app tonight will put an end to that crap. At least it's broad-spectrum enough that if I am also working on bronchitis it will knock it out, along with every other potential bacterial pathogen in a five mile radius. I'm bound to start feeling better soon. I hope. Please, God? Or Yahweh? Or Santa? Anybody?
