I feel icky

I stayed home from church today with this sore throat thing. I'm drinking hot tea, gargling with salt water, eating cough drops like candy and taking ibuprofin. I'll have some chicken soup soon. My throat feels sooo swollen and irritated; I can't believe I don't have strep. I hope this thing passes soon because it's really slowing me down.

On a happy note, here's my pic for 4/365. Todd makes a yummy breakfast atleast once every weekend. Today it was french toast and bacon. I am so blessed to have him in my life. I need to remember that more often. :) Love you, honey!


Since Todd is gone with the kids at church, I'm home alone for a few hours. Not doing much but wasting time on the computer and watching the Illini game. It's halftime and we are up by one. Go Illini! Kick Michigan's butt!
I am so excited because I just figured out that I can take the memory card from my camera and slip it into my printer to transfer pics to the desktop. I've been hooking up cables and turning my camera on and off every time I want to transfer for years. Duh, all I had to do was use the little card. haha Add to the fact that the sound of the camera going on and off scares the crud out of our poor little dog, and sends her running to hide every single time. But no more!
Our dog has glaucoma and on Christmas Eve night something in her eye ruptured or burst and it started bleeding. The bleeding finally stopped and the vet has given us antibiotic eye drops to help her but it looks awful. Her eyes have been "buggy" for more than a year now so we are used to her eyes looking strange. But now her left eyeball is dark red (from being filled with blood) and kind of "shrunken" now. She looks so bad. :( But since we've started the drops it doesn't seem to be causing her any pain, except for when I wipe any excess goo, which I have to do 2 or 3 times a day. She is her normal self and wants to snuggle and be with us all the time, so we're just going to let it go for now. I know the time is coming that things will get worse and she will probably have a lot of pain. I just don't want to think about that decision yet so I'm not even going to go there.
Half time's almost over so I've got to get back to my game. If someone out there is reading this, enjoy the rest of your weekend! :)
