Morning's Light

new years weekend has been low key – and pretty much sums up all of my December. Caught a cold last weekend and it turned into an awful cough within a few days.  after throwing up every hour all night Wednesday night and at times hardly able to breathe, i dragged myself to work and then to the urgent care clinic to see a doctor.  she diagnosed "bronchitis with a touch of pneumonia" and promptly prescribed a sixty dollar cough syrup.  that's not really in my budget..so she broke down what was in the cough syrup, realized it was essentially vicodin + an antihistimine to help one sleep….so she prescribed a handful of vicodin pills and made me promise I'd use them only with a cheap cough syrup.  am also on antibiotics.  that regimine has me sleeping solidly through the night and feeling much better.    if only the daytime coughing episodes would lessen.  hopefully soon.

today I used the Christmas gift my mom gave me to get my hair done.  "done" – not in a "set in curlers and my hair is done for the week" kind of way (that's what I pictured) but more like got my hair highlighted in the darker blonde sections, lowlighted where the hair is all white in front, and then a third color mixed in where the dark and light sections met.  complicated? yeah.  it is to me too.  my stylist holds the secret to the hair color solution! 

all that sitting in a chair and having two stylists dry and straighten my hair while I read magazines was exhausting. (such a rough life, I know!)  so i went home, napped sitting up (never the most comfortable napping position) and then dashed out to meet a friend who was in town for the day.   

tomorrow's Big Event will be going to church and then hanging out at starbucks with one of the teens from church.   then it'll be home to cozy up to the couch and do some reading and watching of movies.  I rented "21" and "My Life in Ruins". 

are you having a good weekend?
