Back

Yep, that's about all I can say about that.  While we were in the land of nothing, I ran out of antihistamines.  We went into bigger town on Wednesday for groceries, and I forgot about those little life savers.  I spend a couple of days thinking I would go into tiny town to get some.  I just didn't want to do all that driving - so I figured I would just stretch the remaining pills out.  They were the 4-6 hour kind to begin with.

G had taken ill with a "cold" last week before we left.  I am wondering if it were really a cold, but I digress.  I began taking two of my little antihistamines twice a day then and felt great.  I kept cutting the number down.  First it was one twice a day, then it was one a day.  Finally it was none a day.

On Sunday my throat was raw - again.  Like it was before I started on the antis.  I was out of luck.  By the time we left on Tuesday, I was sneezing my head off, nose running like a faucet, and eyes were so watery I couldn't see.  I felt horrible.  Won't use any analogies here!

During the time away, it became evident that Simone was having urinary problems.  Before I thought she was just a slobbery Boxer.  Nope - she was leaking urine to make a long story short.  We made an appointment for her at 5:30 on Tuesday to be sure there was no infection.  Nope - just old female dog.  So she is on meds for the remainder of her life, but that's ok.  Much better than dog urine - on everything.

I am back on the antis.  Not the good kind - the 24 hour ones. They don't work well.  My wonderful nasal spray has expired - like in 2005.  I hope it doesn't kill me.  It gets me through the night.

I am sure this post makes very little sense.  I feel terrible.  I still have a runny nose (when it is not completely stopped up) and watery eyes.  This is not a pretty picture around here.  My nose is lighting the way in the dark.

Missed you guys.  Read your posts - just didn't comment.  I have spent about 8 hours total trying to get caught up with computer stuff.  That surely means too much time on the computer when I am home.  All that time, and I still deleted over 200 emails from  yahoo.  This is really a sad situation.

I will try to be back and better tomorrow.  I have sewing club in the AM, and G goes to play 42 in the PM. That means I will have some unbroken time then.  If the brain is functioning better!!

Peace.
