Still sick with yellow ick.
So I'm home today and have a doctors appointment at 10:30. I guess my generic zythromax didn't work (I did take all 6 pills) on this bug.

My husband's DVD drive died. I guess he copied too many DVD's. Another project for me to fix around the house.

By the way, anyone who hasn't tried Blockbusters mail DVD rental should. They've been amazingly fast with our requests - both in sending them out and marking them returned. My husband isn't requesting the hot new releases however, he's been requesting every live concert DVD he can find (we still have 200+ in our queue). This is in sharp contrast to Netflix which started throtleling withing the first few weeks and we had to wait even on the same type of not quite as popular material.

We have someone working with our group from another company. He looks like Danny Patridge (red hair, freckles) but has a southern accent. He seems to be a nice laid back guy - but the accent is cute! (I don't work with him directly).

I always enjoy dropping Alan at daycare. His classmates are always happy to see him (they say hello). They even say hello to me on the mornings I drop stuff off (because Alan is going to the public school program and comes later). It makes me feel good about my choice in daycare.

I saw a sign on the public school's sign board. Apparently the school budget passed. I didn't vote for it (or against it) - with 3 unopposed schoolboard candidates I saw no reason to vote. So I guess the PR push with literature and an open house worked. It feels weird now that our town taxes do go toward something we care about - so many years of not caring. School stuff like elections and PTA makes me miss my mom who was so active in that stuff when I was growing up. Maybe she was overinvolved as a bored SAHM, but somehow I feel better about than if she was uninvolved. I think the only really thing she directly influenced was getting my homeroom changed in high school so I'd have a different guidance counselor. I wish she were around these days so I discuss things with her as a parent to a parent. I suspect in the next few years I'll get involved in the PTA etc. I can't imagine not, actually.

According to the Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America, which estimates that 50 million Americans are impacted by allergies, the top 10 worst cities to be in right now, in terms of airborne allergens, are:

  • Hartford, Conn.
  • Greenville, S.C.
  • Boston
  • Detroit
  • Orlando, Fla.
  • Knoxville, Tenn.
  • Omaha, Neb.
  • Sacramento, Calif.
  • Washington, D.C.
  • Baltimore

I don't see NJ here, but as we are between Hartford and Baltimore, I suspect we are included!

I'm back after filling lots of prescriptions at Target. Which of course led to shopping - got me some shirts and a pair of pants to try, some dollar spot dinosaur stuff for Alan, a cute t-shirt promoting the Pixar "Cars" movie for Alan, and a cherry/olive pitter. (I think given the love of cherries and olives by other family members, it was a wise purchase for 1.00)

(I'm not so sick that I won't browse Target bargains, but wouldn't have made it at work - we just have a paid-day-off pool, I don't need a sick note.)

Took 6(!) pills, feel a litter better. (Prescriptions for prednisone, levoxyquin, generic flonase, allegra-d and anti-yeast cream). Bought myself Taco Bell for lunch (not the healthiest, but I don't eat it much - I'm the only one at home who eats any mexican)

Hope to make my condo meeting tonight and back to work tommorrow.
