What a looong week

Turns out I was borderline walking pneumonia. Went to the Doctors Monday. The nice Doctor had me breath deep several times which sent me into a 10 minute couching jag in which I actually peed my pants a little. He gave me some uber antibiotics and extra strong cough medicine. I'm feeling better but, here's a tip:
Do turn on the light when taking cough medicine at 3:00 AM. Do measure each dosage and follow the directions. I do not recommend taking several swigs off the bottle in a half sleep state. You run the risk of overdosing and drinking half the bottle then have to drive to work stoned out of your mind in the morning, like I did Thursday.
Last night was the first night I slept straight through the night in a week.

Son worked his first week in co-op. Co-op is when the technical high school students actually work on the weeks they would have their shop. So far so good. He likes the job (it's a major construction company with over 140 pieces of equipment). He's making $10 an hour and will get a load of on-the-job training with the potential of going full-time when he graduates. If he can keep his mouth shut and attitude in check - he'll be fine.

In the spirit of 'A Christmas Story' I give you Charlie. Only, instead of 'You'll shoot your eye out kid', the catch phrase should be 'You'll lose a finger kid'.

Flu

I've got it.

Woke up 3AM last Thursday coughing with every bone in my body screaming in agony.
I was home from work Thursday & Friday. The fever finally broke sometime Friday morning. The aches in my joints finally went away but the cough has been brutal.
Got a Dr's appointment at 3:15 today, just to make sure it isn't bronchitis or pneumonia. It sucks cause I wake up coughing every couple hours. I need some cough medicine with a narcotic to knock me out.

To top off that - my PC at home won't boot up, I get nuthin. A command prompt that I cannot enter to.
I brought it in to work today for our IT guy to take a peek at. The warranty expired last week.....of course it did.

I'd just better not lose all my edited pictures on the hard drive. I bought an external hard drive for back up a couple weeks ago, I just hadn't backed anything up yet.

At least I don't have the pukey poo-poo bug my son had 2 weeks ago. That's me, looking on the bright side...I'm a glass half full kinda gal.

Someone had the best of intentions when they created this....or did they?

The video below is amazing. "It was Disability Awareness day and the folks at Fenway did a lot of great things for kids with challenges..here is one who sang and when he got nervous the Fenway Faithful helped him out" Can you feel the love?

Wacky Weather

I worked from home Monday due to the snowstorm. We ended up with about 8 inches, not as bad as they predicted (shocker). Son loved having no school and making a couple bucks snow blowing driveways. They're predicting another couple inches Thursday night.

Last week we had green grass and 60 degrees.

New England, gotta love it.

What I did while drinking coffee this morning

I posted this site not too long ago but it's worth another mention if you haven't been there yet.
Stunning photography. I'd visit Wyoming just to rub his belly!

You also have to check out Vespa Vagabond.
Same author different story.
How many of you would take a cross country trip on a Vespa?
A very ballsy petite blond did.

Can you believe that there are only days/hours until Lost finally comes back! It seems like it's been forever.

And for some cavity inducing sweetness check out this baby Polar bear.

I finally dumped dial up at home and have gone broadband! It's very exciting and soooo fast. I was fed up with dial up - couldn't stand being online at home anymore because it was so frustrating. Right now I kinda feel like that first little crab in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I'm all Weeee! Weeeee! Weeeee! and jumping for joy. The first bill will be like Prostetnic's door opening up and landing on my head! Actually, I got the phone/internet deal through Comcast. Which works out that I'll end up saving money.

Thank God it's Friday. It's cold and rainy and miserable. I want to be like Eva, home doing this.
