Blogging from bed

First of all... thanks to everyone who has wished me better health.  This illness is a doozey.  I had the sore throat since Friday and it didn't really hit me hard until Sunday.  So I rested and after work on Monday I called the doctor.  I NEVER call the doctor and even when I told my wife I already set up an appointment her response was "Wow, you must feel awful."  I did.  I think the 4.5 hours of the morning show really ripped apart my throat.  Sorry if you find the throat picture a little gross, but you know how much I love taking pictures...haha.  I have a sinus infection along with swollen glands in front of my throat so it really was putting a squeeze on my throat from both sides.  I have been on antibiotics for the last two days now and also some nasal spray.  I have been resting up with plenty of movies and TV shows, but I am getting antsy and want to get back to the swing of things.  I thought I was recovering well yesterday, but I woke up today and my head felt like it was stuck in a vice and pounding like crazy...not to mention my throat, but at least it wasn't as sore as before.   I am hoping I kick it today.  Lots more sleeping, hot tea, and spending time with Buckeye.  I can't tell if he is glad to have me around or would rather be left alone to rule the house alone.

It seems like every time I get sick I always think about how I didn't take advantage of my good health.  I am very lucky and have no big illnesses that affects me day to day.  When I get sick I always think...Man, what I wouldn't give to feel 100% right now.  I guess I should count my blessings.

I did take a peak at the forecast models and this weekend is still looking HOT.  The next few days we will be dry and climbing through the 80's and maybe an isolated shower or storm Friday.  Then we really heat up with highs near 90 for the weekend and temperatures look to stay warm.  Right now it doesn't look like we will be able to string three 90's together, but who knows... it wouldn't take much to get our first official heatwave.  Uggghhh... I hope that isn't a sign of what is to come this summer.  Back to resting....just couldn't keep myself from an update.  Hopefully tomorrow it will be from the weather center at it's normal time.  Have a good one!

Best,
