well I am heading into week #4 of feeling sick......but I am a lot better than I was....

I just cannot get rid of this cough completely and talk about sore throat! It even makes my ears hurt..so I probably need to go back and get MORE antibiotics....something. I know this is probably all happening now from sinus drainage....as I apparently still have some yucky crap way up high that tends to apparently stay on the back of my throat like glue......(I KNOW it is even gross to me).

Anyway...that can cause your throat to feel sore and make you want to hack your head off.

I now forgo the teaspoons when taking cough syrup and just take swigs straight from the bottle sometimes having to restrain myself from chugging it...I also suck on these wonderful throat lozenges/cough drops which do soothe my throat...and I am constantly sucking down hot liquids as they feel better than anything. Now my throat is also itchy....

Besides that though....my flowerbeds are overgrown with weeds and that is one job I have NEVER liked to do outside. I LOVE to mow and trim.....do NOT like to weed. SO at this point I have let them go....and I am seriously thinking about spraying them with some sort of natural weed killer and then just turning everything over and dumping some new fresh mulch all over the place (if I can still find some around for free!) My hometown used to give away mulch for free if you came and loaded it up yourself. I used to take big 50 gallon drums and trash cans to fill up and bring back home to dump in my gardens. Hopefully I can do something similar for my small flowerbed areas. The landlord will not come and weed as he knows I basically do all that sort of thing myself around here anyway. I will also need to trim the bushes again soon.

Anyway....I have some work to do and other things around here to get to so I am off here for now!
