Hullo all! Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. Ours was kind of different, but pretty good nonetheless. We ran out of propane on Christmas Eve when I was baking cookies, so Mom ended up cooking our entire Christmas dinner in the
microwave. Tasted pretty good, lol. I seem to have caught some kind of nasty virus though, my little bit of a cold turned into a full-blown, double ear infection. Not sick in over a year, and I have to get that on the longest weekend of 2009!
Saturday night, I just couldn't sleep at ALL and ended up having Mom take me to the Emergency Room, I felt like my ears would explode and I could hardly hear. Thankfully it's not too busy at the insane, pre-dawn time of the night, and I was in and out in about two hours, which really isn't bad at all. There were a few other people there, mostly kids, and everyone of them was coughing and complaining of ear pain, it was insane. The doctor said she doesn't normally do it, but she gave me a huge shot of antibiotics in the hip. I also got a prescription for Azithromycin and bought some Mucinex. Oh, and I'm also still taking Tylenol, so it's like I'm swallowing a drug store on a daily basis, lol. While I'm hardly what I'd call normal again, I do feel lots better now, especially compared to Saturday night; I felt like I'd been hit by a semi. And the doggies are too adorable. I sat down in the recliner with some blankets when I got home, and they couldn't wait to pile onto my lap and snuggle; I think they can tell when we're not feeling well. Annie even followed me to bed.
Anywho, yeah. It was a slim budget kind of holiday, but I <3 my presents. I came away with -
From Charles - Interview With A Vampire, Ice Age 3, and The Phantom of the Opera, yay!
From the parents, Star Trek (2009) and two very nice button down shirts. Mom is getting me some pants to go with them as soon as I'm feeling better and can try them on. We were gonna hit the day-after sales Saturday, but as I was feeling like poop and she had a headache, we stayed home.
Dad and Charles managed to start the Mustang on Saturday, Charles was very happy, lol.
Well, that's it for now. We have a freeze warning tonight, so I might bring Strider inside to sleep in my room. I've done it a few times recently, and he's very good! Last time he even slept through the night.
