We're not having a wonderful day...

We're not having a wonderful day like I thought we might considering I was up early despite still being sick.

This antibiotic has my stomach AND intestines messed up. I ate when I took it this morning, but it and my breakfast came up. I just took Imodium to hopefully settle my butt.

Shaun says our savings are looking rough and I still haven't gotten any job replies. Also, Bear jumped up and busted Shaun's lip with his teeth this morning. Booger was just excited and caught Shaun off guard. Plus, poor Shaun is dealing with my sick ass.

Harley is over here trying his best to love us up and make things better. He's rubbing and purring like it'll fix everything. It's a little annoying, but I appreciate his efforts. I was trying to redo my gel because it's lifting and Harley is knocking shit all over the place. Thankfully, he's settled a bit.

These sweet babies may not actually make everything better all the time, but ya gotta love them anyway.

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...

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...

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. 😊❤️
