it's official- i'm sick

mornin peeples , and peeplettes,
hope all's well, and y'alls well where you are...

i did keep my dr. appointment yesterday. i had no choice really. hubby sort of insisted i go, and i will admit , i was a bit concerned that i -- who just about never runs a temp, had been runnin a temp for two days. so, i did go in. i pretty much had all the symptoms that the nyquil commercials ramble off, and a couple more. but no pukin -- or other reversal of other 'things'. :P bleh. you know what i mean. (sorry)
so anyhow. the doc tested me for swine flu. not something they do on everybody -- but due to the immune thing, he did it anyhow (i usually have a woman doc, but she was out for the week-- figures).. so-- thank God, that only took a couple minutes to come back-- NEG :)) -- and then i got a flu shot -- which i never get. but if you recall.. last year i got the flu--- i ended up in addisons crisis-- and had a seizure -- with no explanation. but with a BP of 60 over 40 and dehydration so severe that i couldn't even walk? it's a possibility that was the culprit. so i got stuck and left with rx's and a diagnosis of the wonderful bronchitis. which is something i usually end up having at least once a year -- oddly around this time. if not for the temperature -- i wouldn't have caught it this early -- i'm usually near bedridden before i know i'm sick. so hopefully catching it this early i won't get as sick as i usually do. (knock on wood)

other than that? not much else to report.

both cats are now free to roam, and they love it. they love to sit in the office window, and look out at the world. i spose i will need to get a second litter box until they figure out where to "go" now. i think they may be a little confused for a couple days-- since everything was moved to the master bathroom for the last week or so. ugh. these cats are still gonna kill me. their feet still hurt, so i don't think they'll be attempting to scratch anything yet-- but when they do-- i'll be laughin at em, and posting pix.
i know-- i am mean. but you know i love em. i would have never paid for the surgery if i didn't.

hope you all are healthy and happy in your worlds today

i'll be tryin to make some rounds after i take my child to school-

I'm glad you caught this before it had a chance to get the upper hand with you. Yep....hopefully it will be a mild case since you're getting meds so early. I have to get my flu shot....I keep putting it off. I was going to get it tonight after work but it started to rain and I whimped out and just wanted to come home, get in my jammies and relax. Sigh...I will try and get over there tomorrow, even though I hate going anywhere on Friday cause its so CRAZY out there. LOL, yeah its gonna be funny when the cats go to sharpen claws and find out there's nothing there! Of course....they may already know by now. Its just a 'have to' when you have inside cats..... matter of fact I'm wondering why they don't do it to dogs too...it would keep from having to clip their nails all the time and nails are absolutely no use to a dog...they can't climb trees. Hmmmm...ever seen a declawed dog? Me either. LOL

Hey Soul!

What's going on in Soul Land? Sick huh? Lot's of water and stay in bed. It's the time of the year where flu and rampant. I am trying to fight off one myself with double dose of Vit C eveyday!

If you are bored in bed, come by my site :-)

Have a great weekend no matter what!

I'm sorry that you are sick. That flu is a nasty nasty thing.
Sydney was home yesterday with something. Don't know what it was, but she just felt horrible.
Be sure and take care of yourself!!!

I am happy to hear it isn't the flu, you just don't need that.

Other than being sick, things sound really good for you and that makes me smile.

Hugs good friend.
