Medicine Mix Up

Finally able to post, it has been in the read only mode for a few days for repairs.  I have been bothered by a sore throat since Monday.  Last week on Tuesday I got a z-pack for strep and was feeling good.  I was guessing at first my throat was hurting because we turned the air on upstairs, but when I went yesterday and got my throat swabbed again (just to be safe) it turned up strep again.  They were suppose to call in meds to Walmart, but they called it in to another pharmacy that doesn't take our new insurance.  Ken found that out today, but the medicine was going to cost 200 dollars there, so he was able to get it called into Walmart where we still paid 50.  My illnesses are really adding up!  I am really tired of being ill as well as the cost of being ill.  Ken sure takes it in stride.  I am so glad the Lord brought us together!  The Lord is great and knows his stuff!
I hated to be gone from school today, but I am so exhausted.  I am sure my neighbors are glad I am home for the day.  I will feel so much better on Monday when we get to see the new baby at the zoo.  We are on the countdown and it feels like there is so much to do.  I have a bit of a handle on the screening but there are other things I don't seem to have under control yet, but I know from past experiences that I will.  This too shall pass, in time!
Lately when I come home and take off my hat I notice that my hair hurts.  Sounds weird, but it does.  I am of the opinion that it is growing pains.  My hair is growing and it seems to be a bit on the curlier side than the straight side that I am use to.  I have no idea how or what to manage hair that isn't straight.  But that is okay, I do have some hair!  Most of it is gray, well it is if you don't count the really dark strip down the top of my head that seems to be dark like my sister, Mom, and Dad's hair.  They all had dark brown to black hair and I had mousy brown color.  So this is different.  Kind of like a reverse skunk!
Ken got my medicine problems taken care of and brought it home for me to take and I know I am going to start feeling better daily.  I have not exercised for the last 2 days and I am afraid I will loose the momentum I have had going.  I think I will forgive myself for not going and plan to go on Tuesday.  Monday at the zoo I think I will get my walking in.  Maybe I will try to get there to walk or ride this weekend if I feel like it.
