On top of all the weird medical stuff, I have severe allergy problems, a cold, or both. I am going through Kleenex like nobody's business. Today, I needed to return something to Kohl's so that I could have the correct size. Rather than carry a little pack of Kleenex, I carried a whole box of them in my very large bag...yes, I took the large bag specifically for the Kleenex. By the time I left, there was a huge wad of used Kleenex in my bag...as well as a large pile next to the bed from last night and near the couch where I sat most of the day. I keep taking the medicine but am waiting to feel a lot better.
Originally, I had a runny nose. Then, I had all of the sinus and allergy problems. Now, I also have a fever, and I one of my eyes is swelling. Apparently, the eye that is swollen doesn't open all of the way; Andy was very sweet and demonstrated this look for me. It reminded me of Quasimodo in the cartoon/animated version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Unfortunately, we need to go in to Fort Worth tomorrow; there is a long list of stops. I am hoping that I can send him in by himself at half of the places and can make the stops where I have to go in really quick. Yes, I will still have my very large bag to accommodate my box of Kleenex. I think that I am going to switch to my Kleenex that have Vick's and supposedly kill germs.
We had intended to go to a New Year's Eve party that our friends are having, but I don't know that we'll make it there. Today my fever has gotten up to 100 degrees; I'm willing to share my illness with strangers but don't want this to be my gift to our friends!! So, once we aren't quite as busy, my head is not stuffed with cotton, I don't have to sit with two or three layers covering me with a space heater blowing on me, and my eyes don't water every 3 minutes, I'll try to tell you about our holiday fun. We hope that you all have a safe and wonderful New Year's Eve!
