My new hero--ANTIBIOTICS!

So Simon and I went to the doctor yesterday, and almost upon first glance at Simon the doctor proclaimed that Simon has a textbook case of strep.  His symptoms, the way his throat looked, and even the smell of his breath are all classic strep.  I'm glad that I made myself an appointment while I was at it because we both have it.  We both started a Z-Pak last night, both fell asleep early and both slept in this morning.  I think Simon actually slept for something like 15 hours last night.  He was a new man when he woke up this morning!   He's been working on schoolwork all day in an effort toward being caught up when he finally goes back to school tomorrow.

I, on the other hand, seem to be somewhat scattered today.  I'm stressed out because my housework has gotten behind while I've been so sick and busy, and they gas company is coming *sometime* between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm tomorrow to give us a new gas meter.  They'll have to turn off the gas, and if they find anything wrong with any of our appliances they won't turn them back on until we get a plumber out to fix whatever problem they might find.  I know that logically everything will probably be fine, but I'm still trying to catch up on all of my dishes and laundry today just in case we don't have use of our water heater or gas dryer after tomorrow.

I've been planning to make all kinds of food for the past several days, and haven't made any of it yet.  I'm going to have to do it tomorrow or my food is going to go bad before I can cook it.  Today I'm planning to oven dry my tomatoes, but tomorrow I have to make my pie, stew and rolls that I've been planning for so long.  At least my dishes are finally almost caught up.  I still have a few large things to handwash, and I need to empty the drainboard and dishwasher, but I'm really close! 

I just need to try to unwind.  It seems like "stressed out" is my default condition lately, and I forget how to be anything else.  I can't find my favorite yoga tape.  Maybe I should try doing another one.  (Except that idea stresses me out.) I'm a hopeless case!
