Weekend alone

I was suppose to have this great weekend by myself to do what I wanted, when I wanted. Since the girls had been sick, R decided that I could just take to puppies to the valley to sell and go play with my sister for the weekend. I drove down on Thursday evening and I kept waking up all night wondering if it was morning or not. Anyways when I finally did wake up (at 10 am...I never sleep past 8) I just laid there. I was so achy and felt crappy. I was at Robert's sister's house, so I took a hot bath to see if that would make me feel better...nope. So for my great weekend alone, of course not. I drove home Friday morning, stopping two times on the way home to take a little nap. I could either fall asleep driving or sleep and get beheaded on the side of the road...pick your poison. I decided to sleep. I called our doc before leaving the valley and said I'm in the valley and I think I have strep, but I'm coming home right now. He called in a prescription for me to get when I got into town. I went straight to bed for two days. Then I got what I call a compassion ear infection. Holy cow...I think they are worse than any sickness. Put your hand on your ear, hurts...put your head on the pillow, hurts. The pain just doesn't go away. I had some numbing ear stuff in the cupboard that works great. It feels better, although now I also have compassion for deaf people. I cannot hear out of my right ear and it's pretty annoying. My girls get ear infections all the time...now I will have way more compassion for them and make sure I always use the numbing stuff. I finally feel better and have some energy today. Hopefully I will have more exciting things to write about than she's sick, I'm sick...pity me! Mame...someday I will come and play for real...no excuses!
