2-5-1

We won our kickball game last night !! The team we were playing is ranked number two in the division. They were REALLY mad they lost to the team that cares more about whether or not they spill their beer running to first base than if we win. Heh.

We played really well. I'm so proud of us. Let's hope we can keep the streak alive! Tie one week.. win the next !!

The crud

I've been sick.. and feeling very non-bloggy. I had to take off work Thursday and Friday because the pollen allergy snot-monster caught up to me. I had so much drainage it all went into my chest and I spiked a fever. Lovely.

So, now it's been about two weeks since this whole allergy fest started... and I'm so over it. Sick of coughing every 2.3 seconds. Sick of breathing out of only one nostril at a time. Sick of only being able to wear my contacts a handful of hours a day. Sick of telling my patients "it's just my allergies.. I'm fine, really". And REALLY sick of not being able to sleep. The only reason I got sleep last night is I finally got fed up and took a "slightly more than recommended" dose of Benadryl to make me sleepy. My goal was to fall asleep so fast I wouldn't realize I couldn't breathe.

G was SO SWEET this weekend. He bought me tea and made it for me. He got groceries and cooked dinner Friday and Saturday night. He knew I liked mac and cheese when sick, so he made that Friday night. He made tacos Saturday night after I dragged myself to work feeling like ass and still saw 15 patients. He walked the dog every time he needed to go out. So great. Much love for the man this weekend.

The kickball team tied last week. YAY A TIE !! We didn't LOSE !! YAAAY! Hopefully I'll feel well enough to play tomorrow. Hopefully they can make me the catcher again. It's not to strenuous and I can actually get people out at home, because I don't duck when the ball comes near me. (heh)

OH !! And two of my classmates decided to go to AOA in Boston with me. I'm SO EXCITED !! Red Sox here we come !

I think I'm going to turn in now. (early even) Night kids!

Sorry

Sorry things have been so spotty... I've been so busy with work I haven't really had time to post.

Thursday night was the hash, this time in South Tampa. So, since it was conveniently close to home I went out for the run. It was SO HUMID !! I did get to meet some new people to the group, two from Peru and one girl who I met at Red Dress. We all ended up at MacDintons after the run for the toast to Christine (the girl who past away in my previous post). It was great to see so many people there for her.

Friday and Saturday was work work work. But, I did have G home at night to watch movies with. For the record: you can skip "man of the year" with Robin Williams. Horrible movie.

Sunday was my only day off this week. Yes, folks, I'm working six days this week. My ever so exciting Sunday was spent cleaning the house and running errands. I did manage to get out to buy new sheets and comforter for the guest bedroom. I also managed to get G to re-caulk our bathroom tub so we can use our shower again. I know I know.. my life is SO horribly exciting.

As a break from errands I went to the charity fun raiser at MacDintons Sunday. They opened the bar from 5-7 to match donations to help pay Christine's funeral expenses. Her family was there with her dog. They were also raffling off some prizes. I bought $5 worth of raffle tickets. Get this: I won BOTH prizes!! The prize I kept are two tickets to this weekends food and wine festival at Tropicana Field. 400 wines, 40 restaurants and lots of free goodness. Retail value: $150 The other prize was to some Rum Festival in two weeks. I passed on that one (do to work) and had them auction it off to the highest bidder to make more money for Christine's family.
