Is it Monday already????

This past weekend was a very busy one -- the busiest I've been since surgery. Saturday morning we headed out early to do errands, then Ed went off to help out a friend and I went for a cut and color. Then it was off to get gas and stop at a store to pick up a few things. I followed that with a visit to Lydia G's, where we had dinner. We left the house at 9:30 in the morning, and except for 45 minutes at home for lunch, I didn't return until 7:30 -- at which time I went directly to bed! Sunday involved chores, like ironing, and getting things ready for this morning.

When that alarm went off at 4:02, I thought I was dreaming. Nope, it was back to work day. The bus ride in was more difficult than I anticipated. My incision is very tender at the moment, and I'm contemplating taking a few ibuprofen to ease the discomfort. And, despite having shorter coughing fits at home since I started with Symbicort, I coughed on and off all the way in on the bus. I'm sure my fellow passengers were simply thrilled to have me back.

I've been busy this morning going through all the accumulated mail, e-mails, filing and bill paying that needs to be done, and I'm already pooped. I can't imagine how I'll feel at quitting time. I hope I can make it through dinner without falling asleep!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend. I'll be back soon with news about the clinical trial.
