This week hasn't been the greatest. As I said in my post last wednesday, it felt like I had the flu coming on, sore throat, headaches, body aches, fever chills, coughing & congestion. I felt a lot worse than I had before, plus I noticed I had like 4 or 5 knots, swollen lymph glands under my left arm. They were really starting to hurt, & I'd never had that before so I started searching online for possible reasons for it. With the symptoms I had, I found that it could have been mono, which I've never had before. I'd also been sooooo sooooo tired, sleeping a lot.
Saturday, I went to the doc. She tested me for mono, and it was negative. She said I did have some kind of infection since my lymph glands were swollen. So, she prescribed some strong cough medicine & antibiotics. I'm starting to feel a little bit better, but I ran out of the cough medicine so getting to sleep & waking up are both horrible since I'm coughing my head off. I did get some nyquil thanks to a friend, so it's helping some. I got some cough drops, too. I've been eating multi-vitamins & vitamin C drops like candy, too. It just seems like it's taking forever to get over the hump & start feeling better. I hardly feel like doing anything, but since I've been hibernating/staying out of the cold I had to do something. So, I gave the doggies a bath a couple of days ago & the guinea pig a bath today. Here are some pix I took after Calypso's bath...Murphy was a bit jealous, but they are learning to coexist.
Little Rudy is pretty laid back and pretty unaffected when Calypso is in close proximity.
I guess that's about it for now. Life's been pretty boring around here lately. Oh, I did cut, bleach, & color my hair, which was long overdue, but since I feel like crap there will be no pix until I feel/look better & not so ill. So, I'll be going to my bed now to get in the horizontal position.
Tah-tah!

Calypso looks so cute and silky.
I know delusional about sums it up lol.
But yeah short answer is doing ok. Had a couple of bad and emotional days and then a friend reaches out, like now, or someone sends me a message or i see a quote that just makes me think at some point, in some way, this will all work out for the best.
damn karma.
