Four out of five of us have been infected with the nasty bug that has been going around. Our little snot monster shared with with AJ and I after wiping his faucet of a nose and all the coughing in our faces he did. It hit me pretty hard this weekend and I tried so hard to do clinicals. My instructor took one look at me and tried to start convincing me I should go home. I was determined to pull through. It was after I couldn't even talk to patients without me nose running or coughing that I decided it was time to go home. Luckily I got right into prompt care and got an antibiotic. I have taken three doses, and feel a ton better. The darn cough lingers and I literally coughed until I threw up last night. However it made me feel wonderful and I slept all night. I decided that I was not well enough to go again today. I just can't risk infecting my cancer patients. So, I took advantages of my spurts of energy.. did some laundry... made a great dinner... and watched my hubby sleep while I chased G. Hmm... How does that happen? To his defense he is working tonight and is coming down with it as well. I have a big test next week in my social work research class... and I keep dragging my feet to open the book. (Hence why I am writing in my blog right now). I started the semester so upset with myself. I received the lowest grade a B- ( I know.) on a paper last week. I thought for sure it was a great paper. But, was quickly disappointed to find out that she wanted more elaboration. I then was pleasantly surprised by an A paper received in another class. I keep reminding myself.. new teachers... new classes. I just have to get a feel for what the professors want.
AJ and I were able to grab a quick date night this past week thanks to the USO. They gave away Jersey Boy tickets. It was so nice to just pay for parking and our drinks (note to self: vodka does not kill this nasty bug.)

Best wishes for a speedy recovery! We had that nasty cough too. It hung around for a couple weeks. Thankfully we are all on the mend now. Your chicken noodle looks delicious and i am sure it will cure you all in no time ;) I know balancing everything is probably taking a toll but hang in there. It's onlly temporary (been there done that)!
