For the first time in 2 weeks...

For the first time in 2 weeks, I feel like I might be improving. This morning was rough because I woke up super congested and gross, but as my expectorant and decongestant kicked in, I was able to breathe better and rest more.

In the afternoon, I was able to do a small amount of housework. It's the first time I've been productive in ages.

I'm hoping with everything I have that I continue to get better. Maybe the antibiotic is helping.

Saw the doctor today, which was great because I woke up feeling worse.

Now I am waiting for my prescription to be filled.

I bet this cat would love for me to be still and go to sleep.

Me, too, buddy. I'm trying. 😂

We got health insurance.

We got health insurance. The $750 premium that I saw was the most it could be. Due to my employment status, we got a plan for $10 and some change.

I love living in a state where things like this are available. Great timing, too. My ear hurts down to my teeth. ☹️

I'd been feeling pretty much better...

I'd been feeling pretty much better from our cold or sinus crud or whatever we've got. But I woke up today with ear pain and my hearing in one ear jankey. I might have blown my nose too hard last night.

I think I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. I've had enough.

I used to get colds and sinus infections all the time as a kid. I used to go to school and even work feeling like this. And I recovered! But 2 weeks of self-care and I still haven't kicked this.

That's crazy.

Chewy sent us this painting of Ash. What a pleasant surprise! It looks hand-painted and is very well-done. And accurate! The attention to detail is 🤌🏻. 

Ash is a love-nibbler. I think she approves. 😊❤️

Bear's been playing with his floaty ball. It's a little big for his mouth, but he can pick it up. The struggle at the end sent me. 😂
