True Romance

I received some upsetting news the other day involving a divorce.

So that night as a I lay in bed, Mr. M and I had this conversation:

Me: blowing nose "I know you already promised me when we got married, but promise me again that you will never leave me" Blow nose again.

Mr. M: Putting arms around me : "Don't worry, you would have to scrape me off, kind of like mold on bread"

Me: "Really? That really does make me feel better, even if I throw away moldy bread and I don't scrape anything off it."

The funny thing is, it really did make me feel better.

Sick, sick

You know it is bad when you are the admitting nurse for a patient and you are secretly thinking that you are WAY sicker then the patient.

After 2 and a half weeks, I broke down and went to the doctor, and I am now the proud owner of an advair (think steroid inhaler, to the tune of $141) and an albuterol inhaler. I have to rinse my mouth out after I use the advair so it won't rot my teeth out. I also have fun narcotic cough syrup that makes me loopy and not fit to drive, so I can only take that at night before I go to bed.

Turns out that I have a reactive airway disease. I have suspected this for some time, I just never found a doctor that believed me.

I don't really know why I am posting this except that I don't have anything else going on. Just trying to stay on top of all my medications. Oh yes, and after watching the first 2 seasons of "Lost," we are now obsessed with "Firefly." I need to get out more, except every time the cold air hits my lungs, I go into a coughing spasm.

What happened in February

Not much. Sorry for the lack of posts, but when every single day is dark, cloudy, gray and cold, there just isn't a lot to write about. Two things worth mentioning.

1) We went to Ohio for a weekend for a surprise party for Mr. M's brother. He has been working at a church for 20 years, so they threw him a surprise party and flew us out there.

2) I came down with a case of the shingles. Shingles is usually something old people get, but no, I had to get it too. It is actually chicken pox that goes and lives in your nerves afterwards. All of you have it in your nerves, but mine decided to venture forth. At first I thought that I had been bit by something, then the pain spread and I woke up several times at night thinking I was being stabbed. Don't worry, I got over it.

At the moment I am sicker then a dog with a nasty cough and I won't tell you what my GI system is up to.

Oh yeah, and Mr. M and myself are totally obsessed with the series "Lost". Someone lent us the first 2 seasons and we watch it whenever we can. We just finished the second season last night. I think Michael is a total jerk!!!!!!
