Coming up for air

Whew, I am coming up for air after being besieged with summer allergies for the past two weeks. I awoke Saturday morning with a bad sore throat that just didn't seem to go away. Since I had court on Monday afternoon, I drug myself into work. I managed to secure a morning appointment with my Doctor who promptly told me - You look awful! Uh, HELLO, Tell me something I didn't already know, please. She then proceeded to tell me that I waited to long to come in for my spring time "snot shot". For those of you that don't live in the south (the allergy capital), that is a steroid shot that "dries everything up". She then proceeded to tell me that I not only had a sinus infection but an ear infection to boot. An ear infection!?!?! I am 53 years old, I'm too old to have my first ear infection!!!! She fixed me up with the "snot shot", antibiotics and a mild painkiller for the aches (bless her) and sent me on my way. I headed on to court where I had to sit through an incredibly long sentencing hearing with a Judge who loves to hear himself talk. Four hours later....I crawled into bed and slept 12 hours straight. What a difference a day makes (isn't that in a song?). Today I am much better, except bending over makes me dizzy! I am sure the dog hair has noting to do with this (grin). Now don't you all want to move to Tennessee......
