Still Here

Just a note to say that I am still blogging--I have just had a lot on my plate lately but I promise to take the time and catch everyone up on all the happenings soon. I have a five day weekend coming up, surely I can fit some blogging into one of those days!!!

Tidbits

Friday night, the start of a big weekend here at the Kruse household. I can't give details yet, but when it's all said and done, I'll have a big story to tell!! Let's just say I'm pretty excited and nervous at the same time.

The weather has a definite "fall" feel. Today was filled with misty rain, wind, and cool temperatures. The leaves are starting to turn, hope it's a pretty fall. Weekend forecast is nice but cool!

We didn't get to see the Grandkids last weekend, with Chely in school our weekend visits have been cut down. Although I must admit that I stopped by their house after work last Tuesday and got lots of hugs and kisses. We plan on keeping the little ones while Brad, Chely, and friends visit the corn maze this Saturday night.

I went to Springfield with Debbie (my ex sis-in-law) yesterday, met up with nieces Christie (and daughter Addyson), Carrie, and Holly. Had a great lunch together at Cheddar's and did a little shopping. It was such a fun day, makes me wonder why we don't do it more often.

That's it for now. I'm up and at it early in the morning, I have a load of stuff to get done tomorrow in preparation for Sunday. Boy, I hope I can pull this off!!!

YUCK

Today is day 2 of 4 off and I don't feel very good. About a week to 10 days ago I noticed a little tinge of pain in my ear, and I thought it was a zit forming, so I doctored it will acne med and didn't pay much attention. On Sunday at work I noticed that my entire ear was red and swollen. Finally on Wednesday I got into the doctor and he said for some reason I got an infection in it. Very strange, he really couldn't explain exactly what kind or how I ended up with it. Never had this happen before, but it's caused me terrible headaches and the whole side of my face was slightly swollen by the time I got in to him. I could notice but it wasn't like the elephant man or anything! So I'm on antibiotics 4 times a day for 10 days, which I hate. They make me feel like crap, I hate feeling like I could vomit all the time. And yes, I'm taking them with food, but I still just feel YUCK!!!! Hopefully in a couple more days it will start to go away, my ear feels like it's on fire today and I have to go shopping for groceries. I hate Wal-Mart anyway, so this will be such a treat today!!! Whine over, continue on with life.
