Lost: One Immune System

Being sick is never any fun. I had to leave work early on Friday and go to urgent care. 

 I felt so horrible and everytime I coughed it felt like my lungs were on fire. 

Apparently, I have a sinus infection and they also checked for the flu.

 The amazing doctor gave me three prescriptions and I've been taking them as often as I'm allowed.

So, I have been bed ridden since Friday and I stilll don't feel in tip top shape.

Keep your fingers crossed I only get better and can make it through the week.

And if you see my immune system walking around, please tell her to come home!

I'm Afraid of my Mailbox

Seriously.
I'm pretty sure I'm not going to go near it anymore.
Why, you ask?

It gives me the biggest (and quite strong) shock everytime I touch the key to the lock!

At first it was just a tiny spark with a little "oh, that shocked me" kind of feeling.

But today...I get out of my car, I walk up the box and I wasn't even thinking about the shocks.
It could have been like an old western movie where the mailbox was at one end of the dirt street and I was at the other and I was saying things like "Alright, box. It's just you and me" with squinted eyes and a scowl on my face...

But it wasn't.

I was just going about my business and BAM.  The spark was a tiny line of electricity and my arm got a nice little tingle.

So...I'm officially afraid of my mailbox.  Lame, I know.  But no one likes to get shocked.

Ouch!

While we were in NY it was brutal trying to not get eaten alive by mosquitos.  I hate bug bites!

(Yes, I know no one actually likes them)

We were there for about a day when Josh got a bug bite on his leg (or so we thought...)

It got bigger...and bigger...and all of a sudden his shin was swollen and red to the size of a softball!

So after him getting way more attention then he ever wants, I talked him into letting me take him to the doctor.

I worry about him!

So we went to one of those CVS clinics.

Just what everyone wants on their vacation...

A Tetnus Shot!

(During which I had to stand in the corner and face the wall. Yes, I'm very mature.)

He was very manly and fine about the whole thing but since I was upset for him he pretended to be sad so I could take a picture.

He's so sweet.  And completely adorable.

One delightful shot later and antibiotics 4 times a day for 10 days and he's all better!

And we spent the rest of the time using lots of bug spray!

What's Pink, Purple and Blue All Over?

A great question...

What is pink, purple and blue all over?

Simple answer.

My toe.

Yesterday morning I got to work like usual

(except that I was there early which is not usual but totally cool!)

I went to put my lunch in my fridge and had to move some stuff around to make it fit and there was a can of this fruit punch stuff a student had given me.

I go to take it out and BAM!...falls out of my hand and directly onto my toe. Right on the nail. (Which was painted so cute btw.)

So I went the entire day just bearing through the pain and even had to fill out an accident report form with the school nurse. Do you know how lame it is to have to fill out the question "Part of body injured" with the answer "toe." Lame.

Anyway, by the time I was ready to leave work my toe hurt so bad then I cried the entire second half of the way home.

(Don't forget that I live at least a good 40 mins from work.)

Sad.

I do not think I have a low threshold for pain. This really just hurt that bad. Again, lame.

Today it still hurts, it is still blue and swollen and I get to strut around with an awesome limp. Shweeet.

Good times, good times.

Germs have gotten the best of me.

They snuck into my body and started decorating. I hope they leave soon. My head hurts, i'm stuffy and runny and my throat is sore. So much for a 3 day weekend. I'm drinking tons of water which is kind of bothering me because then I have to pee every ten minutes and my body hurts everytime I get up. Oh well. Maybe I will wake up tomorrow morning and feel all better! Yeah. We'll see...
