Jealous with Kleenex

I have a cold.  You know how they say a cold can last up to ten days?  My colds generally follow that regimen. 

Each days symptoms lessen a little, then take on the new one.

I'm on about day 4.
Day 1 was the scratchy hairy throat.
Day 2 was the sneezing
Day 3 was the watery eyes and plugged up snout.
Day 4 (this is where I'm at...) mostly lost voice, LOTS of nose blowing.

Tomorrow will be the day that my nose runs like a sieve.  Fun times ahead!!!  I finally broke down and asked Robb if we had any meds in the house.  I tend to steer away from certain ones because they make me loopy.  I just took a 12 hour Pseudofed, so here's hoping!!  It's the REAL stuff that you have to sign your life away whenever you want to buy it at a pharmacy...  So it better work and not make me make stupid decisions at work.  Like tell anyone off!

Other than the cold...  We had a couple super powered thunderstorms plow through here Monday and our town and the one right next to us were out of power for an hour or so Tuesday morning.  Not entirely sure why the delay... but YUCK!

I had to move my work to one of the girls laptops that had some charge in it and use my hot spot for the internet.  The battery on the laptop started to die and I was within minutes of taking off out the door to go the NEXT town about 20 minutes away to work in a Panera restaurant, which would hopefully have both electricity AND wifi.

Found out later, they were out too...  But as luck would have it, our house power popped back on and I was able to move my operation back to my desk.  WHEW! 

So today, looks good weather-wise, although a bit chill.  Power and internet are on, so crossing my fingers!

I got paged at 5:58am today.  Two minutes before the alarm would have gone off.  sigh.

The dogs got out and roamed the neighborhood for an hour before I'd realized it.  Meri and I, on separate modes of transportation drove around town looking for them and finally found them a block away from home playing with a neighbor dog.  They broke a gate...  So she and I will hammer some things back together on my break so the dogs will be able to take a lunch potty break.

They're worn out.  
Good!

Too bad I can't take a nap too...
