Still sick

Yesterday I went to the doctor and got a throat swab taken. After the lab tests, it came back negative for Strep, so, it’s a virus. yay. While the fever seems to have gone, my throat still hurts like hell, and the congestion can gotten worse. So, I’ve stayed home yesterday and today. Not sure about tomorrow yet.

Can’t really discuss anything that Apple has told me recently. Only that progress has been made, good or bad.

I haven’t done a whole lot the last few days other than sleep. Ah well…

Sick

So, my event filled Memorial Day weekend was truncated by a fever and sore throat yesterday, and now just a sore throat today. This has probably been coming on for a week or so since I’ve been having pretty bad congestion on my Eustachian tubes have been clogged.

The only things we did get done were to clean the garage (much needed, and it’s SOO much better now), to get the bed out of the office, and to run the soaker hose around the blueberries. The sawdust seems to do an amazing job at keeping the soil moist. Even after a week of no rain, and fairly warm days, sticking a finger down into the sawdust reveals moisture about 2 inches down. We figure running the soaker hose for 30 minutes once or twice a week should be plenty for the blue’s.

If my throat doesn’t get better tomorrow, I’m going to hit the doctors office. I have chores piling up (mowing the yard, for example). That, and having a sore throat is about the most uncomfortable symptom I can think of, since it’s nagging.

You might notice the “reviews” page that has shown up. I’m hoping to do some short, one off reviews on various items. We’ll see how that goes… look for the first one in a week or two.

Well, take care.
