Actually, I have been sick this past week. And no, not with Malaria - with the flu. It's weird. I never got a sore throat or anything. I just felt really achy and my head hurt horribly. And my temp shot up to 101.5(Fahrenheit).....which I really don't recommend. It's really not much fun. So after 2 days of suffering on Sunday and Monday, I headed to the doctor on Tuesday at a nearby clinic. It was just down the road. In less than 10 minutes in the clinic I gave them my name, was seen, had meds, paid, and was on my way. Wow, do I wish we had such speedy service in the states when it came to doctor's appointments.
It is now Friday and I've been on the antibiotics and fever reducers for 4 days now. I feel SO much better, but if I forget to wake up in the middle of the night and take my fever reducer, I still wake up with a fever. Hmmmm......interesting......anywho, I'll finish my meds then worry if they're still not working.
So most of this week was spent being lazy and laying in bed. I feel as though nothing important has been accomplished. Blah....blah....I feel so unproductive. Being here is hard for me. I am usually out on some farm doing some form of manual labor. Whether it be carrying hay bales or buckets of water, I'm just used to doing SOMETHING, ANYTHING. My nails are getting so long here...and they're not breaking off. This is weird. I miss my ponies. I miss riding. I miss having Mysti run up to the fence when she heard my car pull up in the drive. I miss breathing in fresh air.....ok, well farm air(which some would consider 'fresh' with the manure smell). Frankly, I'm just missing a couple things, and I thought I'd share that tidbit of information.
Other than missing a few things, I'm doing dandy here. Hope you're doing dandy too. Go pick out a pumpkin and carve it for me. It's almost that season for my pumpkin cheesecake, isn't it?
