Three short notes?

I'm about to go to bed, but I will post once more today with one I was working on for a while today. It was fun.

Couple of goings-on...

1. Boots are on the Ground... The Jolly Green Giant's flight made it to Boston from Rome, albeit 4 hours late. Hey, it's Alitalia, so as far as I'm concerned, they were just on Italian time. He was supposed to fly to Washington DC first, giving him a night in his own bed before going to my house, but a four-hour delay meant he had to stay in Boston overnight tonight and then fly out tomorrow morning. Luckily, however, he will actually get here ahead of schedule, they booked him direct to Charlotte. Yay, SkyTeam. Carrie, Judd can't swing an upgrade, can he? Eh, I thought so. It was worth a shot.

2. The Sinus Saga that will NEVER END. I went to the doctor today and got three - count them THREE - prescriptions to knock this stupid sinus pain out. I still haven't gotten any congestion, just a toothache that spread to the entire left side of my head and face. Doc said it sounded like classic sinusitis, but that he wanted to see me back in two weeks "because if it isn't any better, we need to get a CAT scan, that could be something much worse." Way to set me at ease, Doc. I got Levaquin (which could probably kill every bacteria within five miles), a steroid (for inflammation that's just insanely out of control) and some lovely Vicodin for the pain. I didn't think it was in need of something like that...until last night, when I was crying like a three-year-old because it hurt so bad. As for the CAT scan, I had one last year, and someone reassured me that any tumor would have probably shown up on there last year, so I can stop thinking stuff like that. I'm just NOT looking forward to having to go back to the Ear Nose Throat specialist again if that's what I have to do. I have spent so much of my life sick with this stuff that I was SO ready for it to all be cleared up after the surgery I went through last year. Now it feels like I'm just getting a new problem where I cut one down before.

3. Going to...FLORIDA for Thanksgiving! Y'all have no idea how happy I am about this.

OH I thought I had posted on that already. I found out that when it was rejected at CVS, they had actually been trying the wrong one, from my job from 3 years ago. When I called them they said I was still covered and that I have until February or so now.

I was wondering the same thing and meant to ask....well, get you all your stuff in quick I guess :-)
