Somehow I have caught a cold. It started with a sore throat yesterday and after taking medicine for that it seemed to get better. However, somewhere between taking the medicine and my throat feeling better, I start getting a headache and a cold.
Now that my throat feels basically fine again, I feel like my sinuses are all stuffy. I probably have a fever, as well. :( I'll have to go check on that once the hubby has decided to stop hogging to bathroom. . . he thinks he wants to take a shower or something.
It's not fun. Not fun at all.
I'm hoping that I feel better tomorrow. I start working full time tomorrow!
I'm not particularly excited about spending twice as much time at work, but at least the extra $$ will be nice... right?
I've listed a bunch of dresses and plan on making a bunch of baby booties to list. For some reason baby clothes are really fun to make. They're tiny and super cute! And lots quicker to make than adult stuff. (Depending on what it is.)
Well, I am off to annoy my husband a little before bed.

Dealership Boredom
I'm almost afraid to go in there again...
I got my car last week and every time I've gone into the dealership, I've ended up sitting there for at least 3 hours. What is up with that?
Today it was to get the things fixed that they said they would fix (ie the front left low beam, the 3rd break light and the latch on the hood).
I got there probably around 1:30. I left at almost 5:20. Of course, my phone died and my charger was in the car..and I didn't have a wall charger with me. Just the car charger. I had some yarn with me... in the car. Stupid me thought it wouldn't take more than an hour. Boy, was I wrong!
I watched some Leonard Nimoy/Zachary Quinto associated stuffs. If you haven't seen the commercial and you are even slightly geeky, you absolutely must watch this ad! I laugh every time.
I'm pretty sure the thing that took the longest was the break light. So many people came and went while I sat there dying from boredom. When they finally came to get me they told me that it wasn't just that the bulbs had died. They had to replace the whole light fixture thingy. Being it was a Honda dealership and I got a Chevrolet (used car, baby!) they had to go get the parts. At least the parts were only down the street a little.
This is how I wasted my day. There were things I would have liked to have done. I'm glad it was nothing important. We were going to go on Monday, but hubby's toothache took priority.
He was using oragel and this close to what I'm sure woulda/coulda ended up an overdose on ibuprophen. He has this problem where his body doesn't respond to pain meds, and if it does he has to take a lot or really strong medicine.
When he called them, the soonest they could get him in was 2 weeks from today. However, somebody cancelled so he got in that day! Yay!
When they shot him up so they could give him a root canal they had to give him about 4 shots. The assistant told him that he was eating through the numbing stuff like it was candy. They couldn't finish the procedure because the nerve was "too hot" and got far enough to close him up. They gave him lots of antibiotics and pain meds and scheduled him to come in again in 2 weeks. Hopefully, the infection and stuff will be all healed up by then and they can finish him.
Poor guy. He has problems (like his shoulder is messed up... 4 shoulder surgeries can do that) but pain meds don't do crap for him. He takes them, but it doesn't ease very much --if any-- of the pain. :(
He said that the stuff they gave him this time actually seems to be working! Although, it makes him sleepy and he loses his appetite.
Well, that is my week thus far. How is your's?

Sore Sunday
Yesterday was really fun. Hubby and I spent the weekend with his family. We played paintball (which is fun, but you get sore really quick. I have a lovely bruise on my thigh from one shot.). Then we went to lunch and I got to meet hubby's sibling's grandparents (still his grandparents, i suppose. just not biologically).
We went and walked around the mall and I got a lovely paint-splatter lanyard which I will be putting my work badge on.
I got a pedicure, which was great! I should do it more often...Mmmm.... 0:)
Today, I had a very hard time walking. Thighs are sooo sore! I went and soaked for a bit. It helped a little but doing anything makes my legs die a little more. Funny thing is, it's just my quads. Hamstrings are fine. It's probably because I was squatting behind cover most of the time. Not much stretching of the hammis...
We then ran around with my nieces at the little park at my in-law's apartment complex.
They had fun, but it didn't do much for us older people. I'm not even that old and I have no energy! Gah!
All this soreness just proves that I am horrible and need to exercise more! My arms hurt, but not as much. Probably because I don't need to use them as much.
What fun and exciting things did you do this weekend?
