Finally Friday #5

Finally Friday #5: the $100 dinner, puppy doctoring, hunting down a diagnosis

Mood: resigned

  • We had a lovely dinner earlier this week, our treat, with an old friend who is passing through SF. They are so seldom in CA we were lucky they could fit us in their hectic stay but it was so good to see them all. Unfortunately the only place that could accommodate our party wasn’t particularly reasonably priced. On the other hand, at those prices, service was quite good and the location was perfect for everyone to relax for an hour or so.
  • I didn’t get to fully enjoy the visit because I’m still in thrall to the evil that lurks in my respiratory system. It keeps getting worse and by this point, I’m not entirely sure how I’m still sitting up in defiance of the laws of physics and good sense.
  • My doctors have a plan of diagnosis but so far we’re striking out. There must be an answer to what’s plaguing me, they think they’ll find it, but a somewhat skeptical side of me wonders if it’ll just come up as something else that’s not curable. Because that’s what we were really missing at this party!
  • Poor Seamus is also on the medical merry-go-round. I’m treating a few more problem spots and his vet and I have an agreement about how we’ll take things since his problems are chronic too. We’re calling them allergies for lack of a better diagnosis but in general the poor guy is just made miserable by whatever’s going on with him.
  • I’m awful tired.

:: Has cold & flu season gotten any of you? How are you keeping well? Do you have Memorial Day plans?Ā

  1. Sorry to hear you’re sick! I was sick for two weeks last year around the fourth of July. It sucks, especially when everyone’s out enjoying the summer and having a good time.

    I hope you feel better soon!

  2. I had pneumonia in October and I still get short of breath really easily. In my case, that’s primarily because Baguette has trouble sleeping, which means we all have trouble sleeping. Except the dogs. They’re great at sleeping.

      I get so envious of how easily dogs sleep!

      Are you considered recovered from the pneumonia if you’re still short of breath? Or is it a slow recovery from the lack of good sleep?

    Damn, I wish you could catch a break on your health issues! You have so much to deal with healthwise, I’m really hoping you don’t have another chronic ailment. šŸ™

    I have a FUN weekend planned. It’s Bottlerock, and I have a full weekend pass! And (unlike last year) I don’t have to work and miss more than half of the performances on my wish list!! (Which really bites when the pass costs in the hundreds of dollars.)

  4. Sorry to hear you’ve got another health annoyance!! I sincerely hope it goes away soon. šŸ™
