DairyKing's Journal, 21 January 2015

Good Afternoon, FS Warriors! Where does the time go? I had no idea that it had been more than two weeks since I had been on here. I knew it was a while, but geez! Guess I haven't been much of a buddy. Ever since the grandkids came over at Christmas, I have been down with this bug. I think I was over one, and got another - back to back. Now everything is loose, but it just keeps on coming. I hate coughing up stuff and this is even grossing me out, but it's clear anyway. I've been on antibiotics for a week but they haven't done anything. I left a message with the nurse today to see if there is something else I can do without going back in there. There is more crap in the doctor's waiting room than there is in my house. I am back to work, and I'm not feeling sick; just not real motivated. I ended up retracting my offer on the one van after I read all the problems that model was prone to, and ended up buying a really nice van a year newer, that DW loves, and save a couple grand on what the insurance company paid for our old one. So, if anything does go wrong with it, we will still be ahead. Got a 90 day warranty on it, but nothing will go wrong until 91 days. Haha; isn't that the way it works?
Haven't lost any weight, and haven't gained any since last weigh in, but maybe I'll show a loss Friday, who knows. Right now, I just want to get over this crud and get on with exercising.
Been playing my guitar a lot; seems to be the only thing that motivates me lately. I only missed leading worship one Sunday. If I have a coughing spell while singing and playing, I just step away from the mic, and let the others carry on, and hope they just sing louder. :) It seems the only time I get a tickle in my throat is when I'm leading worship. I guess because I'm stretching the vocals a bit. Oh well, I'm not trying to impress anyone; just enjoying the worship same as everyone else.
I got one of those double sandwich makers for Christmas. You know the ones, you can make sausage egg and cheese McMuffins with them. Haha; just what I needed. I love the thing! I have made them with bacon, sausage, and Canadian bacon. Not what you want to hear? Believe me, it will take a lot to lose weight with that in the house. But usually, I only make them on a Saturday morning, and I usually skip lunch, so maybe it won't be so bad.
DW is still pretty well bed-ridden, though she has been getting up the last couple days and making supper. She even went with DD to the big city 45 minutes away when DD had to pick up her drinks to prepare for her colonoscopy. They ended up eating at Olive Garden and going to a few shops, so I am pretty sure she isn't dying, which is a good thing. I think she's playing the pitiful card when anyone calls, so I'm just letting her enjoy her convalescence. She seems to do fine when she's up, but prefers to lay on the bed crocheting me my redskins scarf. Haha! Gotta luv it!
Well, anyway, I know it's been a long time, but I don't want to overwhelm you guys with a bunch of rhetoric, so I'll try to check in more often. Toodles!

Hope you get well real soon, and back on track and yes the Doctors waiting room is the worst place to be when you are sick...

As always, enjoyed hearing from you. Sorry to hear about DW's misadventure with the van. Hope she continues her mending.

Glad you are back! I sooo hate the doctor's office and everything that goes with it. :) I do know some people who go for every ache and pain it seems. Sounds like both you and DW are doing okay, though not 100% ... yet. You will get there. Your new sandwich machine sounds like a toy for you at this point. Enjoy!!
