Reasons to Be Happy and Just Keep Going

[bluestocking79]

Because seriously? I need the reminder right now. I am not nearly in as dire straits as so many dear flisters right now, but it has still been a tough, tough two weeks, and I am kind of feeling like I've been put through a meat grinder. The reasons why are complicated and include, but are not at all limited to, the following: 1) allergies going

Gads! Can we all get together and buy a cheap villa in Turkish Malta and run away for everandever?

Open invitation.

Windows are open, sun is shining.

Sorry life has been so crappy for you recently...but I'm jealous...a week of allergies and icky breathing? That's all? I'm on week 6. AND thinking I'll be doing ANOTHER dr visit in the next week..*sigh*

~accepts gratefully and sympathizes~

Oh, it's been a lot more than a week. It's just been a little over a week since it got bad enough for me to have to sleep sitting up. I finally had to drag myself to the doctor today, because the sharp drop in temperature over the weekend had me gasping for breath. I have a stronger inhaler and a medrol pack, so we'll see how it goes. I'm already feeling some improvement; sometimes there's nothing more effective than steroids.

Since August 31, I've had a Medrol dose-pak and a Prednisone taper. Don't know what he'll try next. *sigh* Am tired of the coughing though. :(

*tight hugs* It sounds like life has been operating at a frenetic pace that hasn't let up... be sure to take care of yourself. It sounds like Mun & Mr. Mun coming to town will be a blessed chance to relax and kick back. :-) It's good to hear that there are good things happening even in the midst of the crazy... *more hugs*

~hugs~ That's it, in a nutshell. There's been no time for... much of anything, really. Certainly not anything that I enjoy! But Friday was a wonderful, wonderful exception, because I got to spend it with Mundungus and Mr. 42 and the 42 family, and they are all wonderful people. I really enjoyed the opportunity to enjoy a night out with friends and not fret that I should be doing something else more constructive. (I seriously need to kick this guilt habit.)

I heard you took your subject test, and I think you have the precisely the right attitude. ~big hugs~ I will have my fingers crossed for the best outcome for you, whatever that may be.

That sucks!
But: Wow on the weight loss, that's great. And M and Mr. M coming to town, you'll have so much fun!

[bluestocking79]

Re: my lungs, I think the real problem is that they don't suck enough. ;-)

Thank you, though! I'm happy about the weight loss, but I was even happier to be able to see Mun and Mr. 42 and the 42 family. It was a fabulous time, and my only complaint is that no time would have been long enough!

[dickgloucester]

All good things!

Do give Mundungus a hug from me.

[bluestocking79]

They are, and today has been even better.

I will pass along your hug! Would you also like me to remind her that she is yours? *g*
