Monday I went to the doctor about my illness. She told me it was a virus and that she would prescribe me an antibiotic but that I should only take it if I felt worse by Wednesday or Thursday, or of I was still sick by Saturday. So we went and filled the prescription and I went back to bed.
The rest of the week I slowly started to feel better, but the cold migrated and started settling in my chest. It was that fun, spasmodic cough that you just can’t stop. Especially when you lay down for bed. So I switched from the NyQuil to the cough suppressant. Tried to relax as much as I could, and started feeling good enough to knit some.
Saturday & Sunday we went to Atlantic City. I know what you are thinking- you’re sick, are you crazy? No, we just had tickets to go see Craig Ferguson do a stand up act at the House of Blues. We stayed at a local hotel (not a casino) and we went with B&M. It was actually a gift that B got M for Christmas, but she had asked us if we wanted to go and so she got us tickets too. The smoke in the casino was tough on my throat and lungs abut even after we left on Sunday I wasn’t sicker, just the same sick as I was on Friday. The concert was hysterical to say the least, but it was tough to not laugh, because every time I laughed, I coughed uncontrollably. Needless to say, both B & M were worried that I didn’t enjoy myself because every time they looked over I wasn’t laughing. But I was, on the inside!! C and I both were loosing at the slots until right at the end. We had all decided to put $20 into a dollar machine and give it 10 pulls and see who makes the most. It was going to be the last machine we would play before going home. Well I did- a $300 pull! How cool was that. It pretty much made us even for the weekend (we typically play pennies and really don’t bet all that much, can you tell? You can’t loose what you don’t play….)
