Sick again

Okay, I'm not sick exactly, but I've been fighting with a sore throat and stuffy nose since Friday night. I took my last two Sudafed on Saturday morning and was dopey the whole day. Really, I felt all high and stuff. To add to all this fun, Daughter now has a drippin' nose and cough. She can't go in and get this ear surgery with a cold, I guess, so I'm going to call the ENT doc today and see when in the next month or so he can do this procedure. Really, I'm just disgusted with that doctor. He was too brisk, brusque, rushing around, and "This is the first available day." Well, fuck you, maybe it isn't good for me, asshole.

I'm beginning to loathe the medical profession as much as the legal profession. Both are full of self-serving BASTARDS.

"But," you say,"we thought Daughter was on antibiotics!" Ah yes, clever one, she was, but that makes no difference with a virus. So, I'm back to lots of fluids, PediaCare and Motrin. I got some Baby Vicks (formulated for babies, but it still reeks) and slicked her chest with that and I think it helped a little. She took a really long nap, which either meant she's feeling the full brunt of this thing, or the Vicks allowed her to breathe and relax enough to sleep. She woke up at 3:00 this morning crying, but it seemed more like she'd had a nightmare. If it had been her ear she wouldn't have just fallen back asleep with me rubbing her back. Keep an eye on that one.

Husband went back to work today, after having the last four days off. He was starting to drive me a bit crazy, I'll just say that.

We had a 'coon in the garage Saturday. Damn thing pissed all over the place. Somehow it must have gotten out when Husband went up to get a box trap. I said "Trap it and shoot it! I want to watch!" He said "Why shoot it? Just let the thing go." Well, on Sunday morning the trap was empty, so I didn't get to see anything. Oh yeah, I would have shot that damn thing myself.

You do know I was talking about a RACCOON, right?

I missed a car show yesterday. Dammit dammit sonofabitch. I love car shows!

Yesterday afternoon I was able to watch a movie in its entirety. Well, as entire as a movie put on TV can be. Husband and I watched "Rising Sun," primarily because it was the only interesting looking thing on, and I like Sean Connery. Despite Son falling asleep on me, it was nice to just veg out for a while.

I hear Daughter. She's awake and sounds like she's in a pretty good mood.

I really hate to postpone this ear thing; I finally got my mind around this whole thing and was ready to just get it over with. Now, who knows how long we'll have to wait. Dammit dammit sonofabitch!
