From Achoo! to Cough, Cough!

I had to stay home sick today. I made it through Monday at work -- just barely. I started running fever late in the afternoon. The nurse practitioner I saw thought it probably started with allergies and turned into secondary infections. After 24 hours of antibiotics, I'm feeling MUCH better. I still have a nasty cough, but my nose has cleared up quite a bit.

A volunteer at the school graciously filled in for me today. They really need to hire her -- she's terrific! And I found out she lives in my neighborhood. She even offered to take my son to and from school, but I made big brother do the carting!

I've started communication with the company for which I subcontract to do medical transcription. Tomorrow I should hear back from them to have a discussion about whether they want me to continue working part-time. I've felt like that's been in limbo since I started the new job. It will be nice to have some closure, one way or the other.

I also made an appointment for my younger son to get the dental work done he needs. I haven't told him yet as I didn't want a distraction during his homework time. He still hasn't finished it as of 8:15 p.m. I reminded him of the consequences. I'm just not up to being homework Gestapo tonight. ;-)

Hubby goes in for his colonoscopy in the morning. He's been on a liquid diet today. I'm going to take off in the morning to go with him and then head back to work at midday.

It's nice to get a few loose ends tied up. And it was nice to have some down time today. I did a lot of napping, probably thanks in part to the hydrocodone in the cough syrup! I actually did miss seeing the students and teachers, though. I think it's wonderful how God continues to bless us with new brothers and sisters in Christ and new friends to share Him with!
