Day 3 of February

My gosh is it still Februrary? I just re-read my last blog and I don't remember writing any of it. I do remember there was a pity party - but the memory stops there. The Goody Bags were pretty pathetic De, so just as well you didn't make it.
It is now monday morning, and the last 3, or 4 or maybe it's 5 - days have been a nightmare and a refresher course. I believe the pity party was on Friday afternoon - well to continue on, the BBQ got made, but I was in no condition to attend any festivities - so Bill and Patrick went on to dinner. I slept most of the time. The real action didn't start until 3:00ish in the morning - I woke up (from sleeping in Ashley's bed) with such horrible chills that I could barely walk up the stairs - I climbed into the shower and stood under the steamy hot water until the tank was empty. My teeth and legs were still chattering and clanking (in that order). So I climbed into my bed and Bill (bless his heart) covered me; dried my hair; held my hand, etc - til I fell asleep. I woke up two different times and had to change my pj's because they were soaked in sweat. Needles to say I couldn't go on like this. So saturday morning, I quickly ran into the clinic; and the dr confirmed I likely had a bladder infection-onset of kidney infection. Got the antibiotics filled and headed home. Now somewhere through out this ordeal, I believe I've gotten a touch of the awful flu bug going around. And it gets better..............or worse, depending on how well one's sense of humor is working. It has been such a long time since I've had a "bad" sickness, i forgot how my depression tends to "rear it's ugly head" at these times. So just when I think I am on the mend, I feel like I have all the symptoms again - or do I - or is it in my head - or am i still sick or, or, or or,.................... I've come to a couple of conclusions - I am not a good sick person; and if I don't catch/or nip it in the bud; that damn depression comes out of the closet and messes up a good illness!!!
K enough my sickness(es) Of wait, that's pretty much all that happened. I am taking today off again from work; so I gave Patrick the car - needless to say I was a little nervous considering the amount of snow that fell last night. But he did call when he got to school. Now to convince myself I can get a couple of things done (or not)
Hopefuly by the next time I blog, I'll have my old self back!
