...'tis the season

And so it begins. Or has begun. Whatever it is, I'm already sick of it! Being sick that is. My throat started getting a little scratchy Tuesday evening, but I didn't think anything of it. I hate having a sore throat, and last time it happened I spent a fortune at Walmart getting all kinds of medicine just to have it gone by the next day. So when it was still scratchy on Thursday I finally went to the doctor. I usually just go to the clinic in town because it's faster, but considering I was just sick 2 weeks ago I decided to see my G.P. and see what was going on. I was hoping I would be able to get him to refer me to an ENT to see if there was something wrong with my sinuses. No such luck. Dr. Dollar said that I just have severe allergies and it's the season for them. Well, for me, it's ALWAYS the season for them!

After he reassured me that I wasn't contagious as long as I didn't have fever (if I did have fever, it wouldn't be allergies, now would it?) he finally said he'd start me on a daily allergy medicine and slowly work my way up until we found something that helped the symptoms.

I was invited to a Halloween party tonight, but backed out at the last minute. I felt so bad, I was really looking forward to going. I sure hope they had a good time, it sounded like it was going to be a lot of fun. I just knew if I did go and got to feeling bad I wouldn't have a good time and would probably make everyone else around me miserable or annoyed...and we sure don't want that!

I was also supposed to take the Civil Service test this morning, but my alarm clock has a mind of it's own and didn't go off on time. Then again, it could've been my sleepy self turning the snooze on without waking up--I've been known to do that!

So what was supposed to be a fairly busy day turned into a bum day for me. It's probably what I needed though. I finally went out and voted around 5 and ran to Wal Mart for a few groceries. In the produce department they have these individual packages of fruit that are just so handy to grab for snacks! They have apples, grapes, and some with both in a pack. I'm doing Weight Watchers right now, and the grape packs are only 1 point and the apple packs are 0 points. Yay! I've lost 2lbs so far, and have been doing it for 2 weeks. I didn't do that well this past week, but I'm going to start back again Sunday.

I have a test next week on Monday. I also have a few projects coming up that I need to work on...a movie review and 2 book reviews. I just recently bought myself a new book to read, and that was a mistake because I want to read it instead of the books for school!

Mom is in Shreveport tonight and tomorrow. It was a girls' night for them at Superior and they were spending the night and gonna go out on the town. I'm quite interested in hearing about what they get into over there. Kinda scary! It's just me and dad here tonight. We watched a few movies on tv, talked about school/job hunting (ahhh!), and now we're catching up on football scores. It's been a nice, quiet day at home. And I'm going to try to be in bed before midnight.

I need to figure out what I'm wearing to church in the morning...
