First thing on Thursday morning when I got to work I had a meeting to attend. I had taken some cough pills and was doing okay. Halfway through the meeting I could tell that I was going to break out into a coughing fit, so I quietly excused myself and left the room. I was gone for at least 15 minutes in the restroom until my "fit" subsided. By that time I scarcely had any eye makeup left on and had a headache.

I had had it! I've put up with this for nearly a week and enough is enough. I left work early and headed straight to the doctor's office, where I was given a chest x-ray to be sure it wasn't pneumonia. Thankfully it wasn't, but it is a bad case of bronchitis. I was then given a breathing treatment where the nurse added some medicine to a little machine and I inhaled the mist for about 10 minutes. That helped a lot. The doctor then gave me two prescriptions, one for an antibiotic and the other for an inhaler.

I am finally on the mend!

Now about yesterday's entry regarding the spring "to do" list. After looking over my list I probably should have named it "My wish List", because I doubt I am going to get to everything. Either time or money is going to run out. The biggie that I forgot to add to that list is the new heat pump with central air conditioning that I want to install this spring too! Guess because it's been so cold I forgot that it was supposed to be at the top of the list per the pact I made last August during that long heat spell of 90-100 degree days.

I am going to add to my list though. Barb mentioned in her comments that one of the things she had on her "to do" list was to sit down and write each of her kids and family members a "I love you just because" letter. I think that is marvelous! What a simple and loving thing to do that doesn't cost anything at all except a bit of time, but will mean so much. Thanks Barb for that wonderful idea!

Okay, it's after 2am and my latest coughing attack is over. Time to get back in bed!

Have a good day everyone!
