When It Rains... It Really Does Pour...

Wow-- this year has not been so hot so far. Sorry for the quiet page for the past few weeks- I've been in misery health-wise. Dave initially got sick (presumably because whatever was already wrong with his lungs made him more vulnerable) (which for those of you who don't already know- he's got a mass in his lungs that we're still trying to figure out what it is)-- anywho-- so then Owen wound up getting really sick- home 4 days in a row with a fever between 103.5 and 105 + a horrible cough.. it was horrible.. then he started a round of antibiotics and then...predictably... I got sick... but i didn't just simply get sick-- i got REALLY sick-- like pneumonia sick... and it's not responding to antibiotics at all.. I started on amoxicillin first (because well.. with no insurance antibiotics are a little out of my budget so we tried to throw some hope at it lol)... well.. quite frankly-- it did absolutely nothing- and next.. i took z-pack (azithromyicin) which started to make me feel better... but.. ultimately in the last day and a half of my supply my cough started to come back-- and I thought it was ok- but then... today... it came back with a vengeance.. and now.. i can't sleep... which I'm sure is only going to make it worse... so.. i decided to give the codeine script i never filled a try tonight.. and it seems to be helping slightly.. so hopefully i can sleep soon.. but.... man this has been rough-- and obviously all this has not helped in the least with me catching up with my school work-- so... I'm just kind of slipping away.. but.. hopefully all will be well again soon- I'm going back to the doctor (AGAIN) tomorrow after i drag my sorry ass to class in the morning (I hope anyway lol- we'll see if i manage to make... i may well end up completely retaking my classical mythology class.. because I'll be really surprised if i don't fail it (you think I'm kidding-- but seriously I'm doing worse this semester than I've done in my entire life at school- i just pulled a 74% on my physiology exam 3 weeks ago- that's unheard of for me.. i just can't even believe what's happening...) for those of you with religious hearts... pray for me.. i really need it right now... i don't know what happened but the holidays hit, passed, and when i came out on the other side my life was upside down and something just snapped and i can't get things back how they were... something has to give.. right?

The Church Down the Street

Picture soon to come (if I can pull my head out of my ass that is :) ) I keep forgetting to charge my camera- but :) we have something new to laugh at down the street :) our church down the street's message this week: "Getting Naked for Lent" :) just thought i'd share :) and hopefully i'll manage to snag a picture before it's gone :)

--well... quite obviously i didnt manage to snap the shot :/ sorry..but.. I'm going to leave this up because i still think even without the image it's hillarious and hopefully it'll give someone a good laugh :) and when i add some pictures down the road of this church i want it to show up with those :) I swear- I love that church lol- we've considered going just because of their signs before :) but alas.. that would be the wrong reason to go wouldn't it? :) oh well lol :) (what confuses me even more is that I didnt think methodists celebrated lent?? :)--can ANYONE explain that? :) )
