A Random Friday

[nekosensei]

My doctor called this afternoon to tell me what the results of my blood test were. She heard my voice...well...more like lack thereof, and pretty much said, "that's it...you're getting an antibiotic." I guess it makes sense. I started coming down with it on Sunday night and it's still not gone yet. I've also had practically no voice for three days now. I think she was kind of leery about prescribing antibiotics in the first place because Warfarin and some antibiotics don't go well together.

Later, I went to pick up a repair kit for the water faucet outside. It took them several weeks to order the part from some factory on the east coast. They called me up yesterday to let me know it was in. I told him my name and it didn't register with the guy who was behind the desk. Finally, the guy who talked to me on the phone yesterday came out and said, "Hey...that's the lady who was losing her voice. Yeah...I have your part." So...that's how I got the repair kit that I needed.

The pipe company I went to was in a very Mexican neighborhood that was lined with a bunch of taquería restaurants. Everybody in the pipe place seemed to be eating food from the same restaurant so I asked where they got it from. The food looked good, and I figured that I could have a late lunch there (I hadn't eaten yet anyway). I swear...the past few months I've had a lot of cravings for Mexican food. It turns out the restaurant they pointed me to specialized in barbecued food. I ordered Huarache since I'd never heard of it before. I figured it was regional dish. And yes, looking at google, I see that it is a dish from Mexico City. I failed to communicate to the lady taking my order that I didn't want lettuce on it, but she probably didn't understand me. Oh well. It's no big deal. My INR was a bit on the high side anyway so it won't kill me. Also, the barbecued chicken they put on it was delicious. Okay...I can go back there again.

I opted not to go to Random Movie Night or out to dinner with doomsey's family because talking is very uncomfortable and I need to rest my voice so it comes back and I don't screw it up more (I kind of need it back by next week). I wouldn't be able to socialize very much anyway. For one, doomsey's family is loud and I don't have a snowball's chance in hell of shouting over them to get a word in edgewise. It does seem to be getting better this evening...probably because I had most of the day to shut the hell up. I'm hoping that it will be much better by tomorrow.

After doomsey came home, we took my ibook over to the Apple Store because the fan broke, causing it to overheat. They're going to have to replace the part. (I hope I get it back soon!) Then, we went to CVS to pick up my antibiotics only to find out that my doctor hadn't faxed it in. I think she's been distracted lately ever since her husband had his accident. Since it was after hours, we ended up having to page her. doomsey's family didn't think it would be a problem because it was something she wanted me to have sooner rather than later. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to pick it up until Monday.

So...yeah...that's what's been up with me.

Aha! For once, it's a good thing to be told

Yep. Today, I'm wishing my husband would stop talking at to me because it's still a bit uncomfortable to talk. At least I can be heard and understood now. :)
