It is blowy outside and not raining for this current minute. I spotted purple grape hyacinths in the grass yesterday. I hear peeper birds through the window. Hubby is gathering crud for the recycler toter. I've been a good little patient. I have downed two antibiotic pills so far- two to go before bed. And know what? I want to go outside for even a minute. My ears are ringing- telling me to shut up and go take a nap. I called the clinic that I go to yesterday. They can't see me until early May! The hospital doc wants me checked in a week. Another danged blood draw. Guess I will call the clinic that I used to go to and see what they have to say..... Meantime Rufus barks at the Amazon truck, the birds chirp and the grass grows longer with each rain downpour.

I hope that you do get outside and enjoy a breath of fresh air, it might be just what the doctor ordered. And I hope that you are drinking your fluids, on Thursday I managed one and a half pitchers of water, and started to feel better on the following day. Thanks for the encouragement.

@Juliaacv Thanks back to you. That is a lot of water going down. I am doing well when I drink 3 glasses of anything a day. The antibiotics are giving me a dry mouth so I am doing better on drinking.

@sallypup When you look at the clock at anything :25, which is what it is now, you think of me and please get yourself a glass of water. See if that will help you, I want to hear that you are improving.

@Juliaacv Thanks. I've drunk 3 glasses of water today so far and that is a record so I think its your fault. I didn't know that antibiotics could cause deep sleep. My nap felt good.

Sounds like the spring is waking up around you, even if the weather can't make up its mind You're doing well staying on top of the antibiotics I get the feeling you’re itching to break out of "patient mode" and get outside

I would take a peep outside anyway! Even if to just breathe in some fresh air! I hope you can get rechecked at the clinic you went to. It's better than waiting so long for your doctor!! Take care!

Now, make sure you do what they say. Because I don’t trust myself to drive all the way up there, and I’m too scared to hitchhike.

@sallypup I actually meant the birds and squirrels on your property but if you like to drive your neighbor crazy, then more power to you.
