Friday - And I'm Sick and Tired

"I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired." ~~Fannie Lou Hamer

Sometimes don't you just wish you weren't sick?  I mean I am around sick people for twelve hours at a time two-three days a week.  I hardly ever get sick.  But when I do...man.

I have been feeling really bad the past week and a half.  Have been having terrible migraines.  I had one so bad last night at work I was shaking and thought I was going to throw up and have to go home.  I just sucked it up though, stuck it out, and made it through.
 
I have been telling David I thought I had a sinus infection and he said it's stress.  I said give me some antibiotics because the pain and pressure is behind my eyes, my forehead, and my nose.  He said it's stress, but here is some Zithromax.  Don't take them unless you are still feeling bad tomorrow.  Well hell's bells I thought I wasn't going to make it to today.  I came home and took those suckers first thing this morning and would you believe it I am already starting to feel better?  The headache is still there, but it is getting a little better.  I mean I haven't been sleeping hardly at all the past 10 days, and I haven't slept at all since I got off work this morning, but at least I can wear my glasses without feeling like they are killing my nose.  Jeez, I just know you wanted to hear about all my problems, huh?
 

Looky at what I just captured off my back porch:
The date on my camera is wrong.  I just took that about 6:00pm.

Hey...did any of you stay up or get up to see the Lunar Eclipse the other night.  I did (not that I've been sleeping much, ha ha)!  Boy it was amazing.  I've never seen anything like it, ever!  I could see the whole thing.  I tried to capture a few pictures with my poor camera, but I mainly got red blurs and bright blobs.
 
The little red dots are what I could capture of the red moon during the full eclipse (again the date is wrong, it was 8/28after 3:00am):
 
 
This is when the eclipse of just about over and you can see the Earth's shadow on the edge of the moon.
 
 
 
And this is what Nasa posted:
Ummmm, like no fair, they had a better camera!
 
Okay, so I'm in a little bit better mood now.  And just maybe I'lldo more than one entry in two weeks!  But before I pop off, let me leave you with the "Quote of the Day" provided to me by my fav Uncle Fred:
 
"Speaking at a forum organized by Lance Armstrong on cancer research, Hillary Clinton told Chris Matthews if she is elected president, she will declare war on cancer, and then she will support the war on cancer for two years, and then she will be against it for a year, and then she will back out of it all together" -- Jay Leno, host of NBC's "Tonight Show."
 
On that note, I'll say "Goodnight Gracie" and hope you have all been well... Largest Database of Images For Comments And Profiles at FreeCommentTags.com

Yay! It WILL be better, I'm sure.

Being sick sucks, I know, I don't get sick that much anymore but when I do dear lord it's awful.

And I didn't get to see the eclipse, it was cloudy here.

BEAUTIFUL rainbow btw.

I loved the quote of the day...I l giggled at that one. Lol!
Im sorry you have had it so rough with your sinuses.  How you can still go to work feeling like that I do not know.  You deserve a medal!
I guess the new hospital is a bit scary, especially as the staff left en bloc like that.
It would have been so much easier and safer to stay with the familiar. W all like our security blanket of 'the known'.   Still...the ball is rolling now and I look forward to reading how you are getting on.

By the way...you rant when you want to when you are not feeling well....its your journal and your friends will always be here to listen.

Bye!
