Wow, it’s been a week and a half since I last posted anything. That’s a long time in Blog World.
The reason is that I’ve been sick. I started feeling bad last Tuesday, and on Wednesday I had what was clearly a sinus infection, complete with monstrous headache. Naturally, I went to work.
In the afternoon, I went to see my doctor, who said that, yes, I had a sinus infection, and did my right ear hurt? Because I also had an outer ear infection. So I walked away with prescriptions for an antibiotic and eardrops, and a sample of a nasal spray that kind of scares me–and requires pre-qualification for a lowered co-pay.
Thursday I stayed home sick. I watched Thor. It was disappointing because it wasn’t even remotely better than I expected it to be. Also, it failed to explain much about Loki’s mindset in The Avengers, which was the whole reason I watched it. (Seriously, what is his deal? He clearly has power, but he gives up really easily a lot of the time. Is he just lazy? And what on earth happened to the quality of Kenneth Branagh’s directing? Because he started with the ability to do this.)
Friday I went to work, and then at 11:30 I went home.
Saturday, Baguette didn’t nap. On Sunday, she did, but then she played with the iPad too late in the evening (it turns out) and was up chattering and singing until after midnight. (Our recent adventures with the iPad are worth their own post.)
Monday I went back to work and also got my doctor to call in a new prescription for antibiotics, because the first one wasn’t working that well. Certainly not as well as it should have been five days in. And by the end of the day my voice was so raspy, I wasn’t sure if I’d have one at all in the morning.
But I did, mostly, and I can tell that the new antibiotic is slowly, slowly working better. Although I noticed a difference yesterday and today it seems to have plateaued, so I don’t know. It definitely isn’t fast enough.
And all of this is why I haven’t been blogging. But I want to, so hopefully next time I’ll have something more interesting to say.
Feel better! And…I know I”m a half-assed blogger, but I’ve gone a couple MONTHS without a post. No need to explain yourself, in my opinion!
I’m not in love with this post, but I do like the paragraph about Thor. I need to live-blog more movies that aren’t new. Thor would work for that.
I used to go to work every time I was ill, these days I am such a sickness wimp, one feeling of flu/cold I stay in bed all day. (I guess it’s a good thing I currently study full time and don’t work). I hope you feel better soon, we were also knocked down by three separate illnesses in our house last week. Was a fun time :/

There are a host of reasons why I went to work at all. Some of them were good reasons.
‘Tis the season – you’re about the third person I’ve heard/read tell of early summer sickness. I’m hatching my annual end of school year cold/upper respiratory/sinus nonsense myself. Blah. Feel better! 🙂
Thanks. It’s been over a week now, and this is still dragging on. I hope it’s done soon!
We’ve had one cold after another here. It seems wrong to be so sick in June… I hope you feel better soon!
Doesn’t it? Even with June gloom, it’s just not the weather for a cold.
