For those of you still playing the home game, I'm still sick. Yep. Going on FIVE weeks now. Yep. *cough*

I saw Dr D on Friday and he had this idea. It was brilliant as far as knocking me on my ass for a few hours and giving me some uninterrupted sleep. They gave me a blast of Demerol. It took approximately 15 minutes to kick in-I know this only because it took five minutes to drive home and another ten while I was on the phone with my employer and then husband to let them know what the plan was. Unfortunately, when I woke up on Saturday, the cough was still with me. Ugh. My instructions were to call Dr D and let him know how I was doing. Well, since it was Saturday, who knows if he ever saw the message. He never called me back. I crashed on the couch and slept until roughly 4:30 when G told me if I wanted to go to his manager's house for a dinner party, I needed to get up. I decided to go which, in hindsight was a smart move. I finally got to put faces with names I hear daily and saw just how many high maintenance women my husband works with every day. Holy crap! Anyway, Sunday brought me sleep and a visit with my mom. Dad's cranky about something stupid so he decides to be anti-social while I'm there. She and I went out and had a good afternoon and I came home in time to watch Carnivale. Just when I thought I could learn to live without HBO, they go and come out with yet another show I will get sucked into until the very end. BTW, TWoP's recaps of the show are fecking hilarious, especially the reference to Time Bandits-omg I about wet myself when I got to that part!

I'm currently waiting on a callback from Dr D's office to find out what he wants me to do-chill this week or come in and see him again. We'll see how long this takes.
