Bring the drugs Forrest

Yay I have a stroppy cockle infection or something that sounds like that, but I don't care.
I actually punched the air when the doctor called to tell me that I needed antibiotics on top of Colomycin that I always take. Why am I so pleased, because it means that I look and feel crap for a reason!!
Ok I'm still over weight, but at least I know why I'm bloated, so frigging tired, dark ringed and puffy eyed... Oh yes baby bring on the drugs.
I celebrated this by cracking open one of my emergency stash of chocolate liqueurs as I doubt that I shouldn't be drinking on top of two lots of antibiotics, but really wanted to drink to the fact that I had a reason for looking like some one's old maiden aunt.
Whether in five days time, when I'm laying in my bed unable to sleep at 4am, because I'm wired up thanks to the Tetracycline tablets, I might reconsider this jubilant celebration and break into my chocolate liqueur stash yet again to drink and knock myself out... who knows... how does the saying go... Life is a box of chocolates and I'm eating most of them!

No sign of the hedgehog today, so I'm hoping it's sleeping blissfully with a full belly under a hedge somewhere and will wake up some time in March when it's warmer and not paws up, because by jingo it's freezing out there today. Still no real snow here yet apart from a half hearted flurry apart lunch time, but I think that could change by morning as the frost on the cars outside my window has got to be an inch thick!
Even rehab today was a 'lets get it over and go home' and there was no telling us off when we rebelled on the 'sit to stand' exercise. I was quite ready to bluff it through to young Rachel and tell her that Ruth had said we could miss that one while Ruth was with a patient, but the oldies panicked and said we better do it... chickens!
I even dragged out my patchwork quilt to put on the bottom of my bed tonight, as my feet were freezing last night. The top half of me is always toasty even with no heating on in the bedroom and my window open, but if me feet are cold, I can not sleep.
So a hot bath tonight and a warm bed here I come.

Lots of love Debbie x
