Good Medicine

Thank you so much for calling this evening. I really appreciate the update on Dad's health. It sounds like you are working with some very good doctors, and I sure want to hear how Friday's appointment goes. I've put it on my calendar, and you will be in my thoughts and prayers for a good doctor and accurate information.

Mark and Julia both had aches, sniffles, sore throat, etc. last week. I was nice about it, but felt smug, as usual, because I was feeling just fine. Thanks for the good genes, Mom! Then today after work, I noticed that my throat was starting to hurt. A lot. Rats.

Mark had to run another errand, so I went over to Freddies and stocked up on my favorite remedies. Zinc lozenges for sore throat, echinacea tablets (boost the immune system) to take twice a day, and Theraflu sinus and cold medicine.

And the most important medicine--a bag of Hershey's Nuggets. Hahaha! Remember how we used to stop for "medicine" on the way home from school, stopping at the little store in Avila?

I've "dosed" myself, and I'm heading off to bed early tonight. I had planned to grade papers, but they can wait another day.

Have fun at the "meeting" on Wednesday!
