And So It Goes

[la_samtyr]

Today started with a whimper. When I woke up, I discovered that I couldn't log on. The whole system was down 'indefinitely.' So I went in to Hastings early and stopped for gas.

At Russ's (a local supermarket and deli) I had breakfast, then did a very small load of wash at the laundromat. From there I went to the Y so I could put my swimsuit in my locker. I also discovered that Saturday will be a swim meet @ the Y, which is good to know because oh wow, the traffic jams when there is a swim meet! Yikes!

It was just after noon by then, so I drove over to my dr. office and checked in early. My appointment was @ 1:45pm but I don't mind waiting since I always have a book with me. (Also, it is much too easy to get caught up with 'retail therapy' *coughs daintily*.) I got lucky and saw him early (before 1pm) and he decided to do a flu test just to be safe -- which came back NEGATIVE! I DO NOT HAVE THE FLU! I just have my usual weird cold & cough that sounds like... well, it sounds *nasty* (as if I am about to cough up a lung) and can freak people out really fast. He gave me an Rx for super-heavy duty cough syrup plus an antibiotic and sent me on my way.

I went to the pharmacy, picked up my scrips (aka Rx's) and settled the bill (all paid through next year, yay!) and decided to come home since I felt tired.

As soon as I got home I let my little dog out again, fed the cats again and then went down to get the mail and pick up my new dog license. Since Naz is a neutered male, the fee was a whole $2.00! XD

I came home, discovered the internet was on! ::happy dance:: so I logged in, ate a snack so I could take my antibiotic and began checking my mail.

And that has basically been my day. I still have posts to respond to etc. but I will do it. Just maybe not today.

Niters all.

It's amazing how an invention that wasn't around for most of my youth has taken over my life. When the net is down it's time for a major melt-down. Glad it was up again when you got home.

The worst part is when something you need is in an email, and you can't access the email. *sigh* As much as I love the 'net, I do miss the old ways quite a bit.

I do hope you the meds work and you are feeling better soon.

As for the internet connection being down - it's horrible, isn't it? You feel as if the world has disappeared. Amazing that we lived without it until the 1990s and didn't even realise what we were missing :)

Thank you. The meds seem to have kicked in, so I should be getting over this soon.

The worst part about being offline is when things you need to get are *online* -- where you can't get them. :/ As much as I appreciate the 'net, I do miss a lot of old school things.

It's so nice when things just fall into place like that.

It really is! :)

You had a busy day - I am glad you got something for your cough. Good that it isn't flu as well :)

I have to get really 'tough' cough syrup because the OTC (over the counter) brands often do not work as well.

I'm very lucky that it isn't flu. Just a bad cold is enough of a nuisance.

Wow! Such a productive day! :) Good job! :)

*hugs you* Hope your cough is better!
