And the fun continues...

I went in to work yesterday not feeling very well. I've been fighting this cold for about 3 weeks now and was feeling better until a couple days ago. I had been working out yesterday morning and felt a little wheezy - not in my lungs but in the upper airway and my throat. I took my inhaler and felt better. But as the night wore on I was having a harder time breathing and every time I laughed I had a barky cough. Plus I had no voice - y'alls dream come true and you weren't here to enjoy it! :)

It got better when I went outside for some fresh, cold air. One of the docs heard me and called respiratory for a neb treatment - apparently I have croup! It's so weird because that's primarily a pediatric illness. Meaning no one over the age of 8 usually gets it! Strange. The PA who's a good friend of mine made some comment about me being the youngest nurse ever, which kept us laughing! But they put me on some drugs and I'm feeling much better now. I guess that's what I get for working in a germy emergency room... And I'm not even a peds nurse anymore! :)

This one's for Em...

So the other day I went to Kid to Kid - a children's consignment shop - for some things for Joshua. The lady at the counter asked me if I wanted to be on the mailing list for coupons and things and I said sure. I packed up my things and went home, where I looked at the receipt.

The address was printed like this: leweesianna cir. I kid you not. And this girl had to have been in her 20's! I'm with ya on this one Em - it was pretty pathetic. Although I did chuckle a little...

It's been bitter cold here - when I got off work on Monday morning my car thermometer said the temp outside was -11. Yuck. Luckily today was much more balmy in the 30's. But I think it's supposed to snow again this weekend. Oh joy. I can't wait to get down to Florida!
