This has not been a fun week. Monday was insane at work, per usual, but I didn’t actually feel sick at all. That changed Tuesday, when I started coughing so bad and my voice was so hoarse that I left work early and went straight to the doctor’s, who gave me prescriptions and a note to be home until Thursday. Work on Thursday was insane, largely due to people calling out sick so we were short-handed. I had another doctor’s appointment that afternoon (to discuss migraine meds) and I got even more nifty prescriptions. Today was actually pretty mellow, despite being short-handed again.

The only thing that has saved my ass since Tuesday is Theraflu® Nighttime Severe Cold & Cough Caplets. They are better than NyQuil LiquiCaps, probably because Theraflu has way better drugs (NyQuil changed their formula, and it is lame). The antihistamine in the Theraflu is the only reason I can breathe.

Lyse and I have a new plan for our future farm/ranch: mini-critters! I wouldn’t mind having a miniature horse or two, and Lyse is wild for mini-moos. (This doesn’t mean we’re scrapping the other plans, for alpacas, goats, chickens, bees, a greenhouse, and probably a dog or two…I prefer the cutest puppies ever that grow into well-behaved working dogs, Australian shepherds. It will be soooo fun!)
