I'm still coughing up a lung, so I've got a 2 p.m. appointment to see the doctor. I hope he'll give me a shot and I'll get better quick!
I'm still trying to get my messy house under control. It seems like it's two steps forward and three steps back. My in-laws are coming to stay with D while Hubby and I go on our trip and I want it clean for them when they come.
I've got a hair appointment on Wednesday to get my hair colored and cut, it's out of control. I know you're not supposed to do that right before something big, so I hope I don't look like a goof for our trip!
I'm looking forward to spending some one on one time with hubby on our little trip but you know what else I'm so excited about? We got a good deal on staying at the Hyatt Regency at the DFW airport the night before we fly out on Saturday. It's called
Sleep-Park-Fly and we can store our car in their garage and take the shuttle to the terminal Saturday morning. Our flight leaves at 8:00 so we'll have to be checking in by 6 a.m. so I'm just looking forward to that little luxury.
Ok, back to laundry and trying to get my house in shape. I'll let you know what the doctor says, hopefully I don't have rockin' pneumonia too!
till later . . .
edited/updated after doctor's appointment: I don't have rockin' pneumonia, it's just a case of bronchitis. I got two prescriptions for some mega horse pill antibiotics and some heavy duty cough/congestion medicine. One of them is making me nauseas but I'll put up with it if it'll kick this thing in the hiney-bo!
Now go drink some liquids and get better. :-)
I have a hair appt today too. I'm looking really mangy.
I had an experience similar to yours with the older gentleman. I was talking to my neighbor on the phone the other day (a little background: he's a very old-school, reactionary Hungarian, who escaped communist Hungary in the 1970s.) When I mentioned that we are adopting from Russia I received the most negative response I have ever heard! He went on and on and on about why would we ever take a chance on adopting a damaged child from Russia when we have two good children already? The drug and alcohol abuse was increasing and the risks of getting a genetically damaged child were so great. Granted, I understand he harbors great resentment toward Russia and communism in general, but he had NOTHING good to say. And granted, he only told me all this because he cares about us, and he's never been known to think about another's feelings before saying what he wants to say. It was disturbing... but at least I understand the context he was coming from. (I have to... otherwise I'd be wigged out.) I hope you've shaken off that old man's response. Some people can be so insensitive.
