I lied...

Ok, I did it. I went to the doctor on Monday, expecting to hear that I have strep, but I don't. Yay!!! But I do have fluid in every single orifice. Yuck!!! It comes from allergy irritation. My doctor says that we have not been aggressive enough in our allergy treatment so she put me on 2 nasal sprays, Zyrtec, Sudafed (the kind you make meth with) and a NetiPot. That is alot of crap!!! I hate to spray anything up my nose, so you know this was not going to go well.

Well I went to the pharmacy and I was unable to get one of the nasal sprays because my insurance requires prior approval. I was like WHAT!??!?!?! They wont even let me pay the highest copay (50 bucks) to get it. I am not sure what I need to do to get it, but I am pissed. I mean, what if this was a life or death type of situation? I can do without this medicine but not high blood pressure or heart meds. I cannot imagine having to go home to my sick child or loved one and say that the meds that the doctor told us would give you relief are not available to us. What is the reason? Money I guess. I hope that this health care bill can do something about this.

So back to the gross stuff... I did not buy a NetiPot which is a teapot looking thing that you put warm water and salt into and pour water into your nose through the spout. It is supposed to clean out your sinuses, but I haven't seen anything in the two times that I used it. I have however, almost drowned because I wanted to breathe through my nose. And choked because water came through my sinuses into my mouth!!! YUCK and DOUBLE YUCK!!!!

I have started to feel somewhat better, but these meds are going to cost a blooming fortune. I spent $25 for copay, $15 for one nasal spray, $16 for Zyrtec, $5 small Sudafed, $12 for the Netipot and $10 for the antibiotic just in case my sinuses don't dry up (which they haven't) anf Diflucan for the inevitable yeast infection . That comes to a whopping $83. I cannot do this every month. I can't really afford to do this THIS month!!! Times like these I say Jesus take the wheel!!!

No, I don't wanna! You can't make me!

I have been told that I am a stubborn person. Once I get an idea into my head I will not let it go. I only see things my way... yeah, so??!?!?!??! I guess that this post is a perfect illustration of that.

Yesterday was wonderful!!! The sun was shinning brightly, the air was warm and I had my car with sunroof and NO kids!!! I enjoyed myself immensely. I should have known that something would happen... yes, at the end of that glorious afternoon I began to feel a familiar scratchiness in my throat! I just knew that it was just pollen, but when I woke up this morning, I see the white patches in my throat. I am going to make an appointment to see the Dr. tomorrow.

I made it all winter without getting too sick. I only had the one ear infection but no strep. I am praying that this is not strep this time. My Dr. said that the next time I got it that we would seriously have to talk about having my tonsils taken out. NO!!!!! I don't wanna!!

Well, when I go tin there tomorrow she is going to get an earful. I am not gonna get surgery... Uhn Uhn, now way not gonna happen... Then she will say that I need to take my allergy meds EVERY day (which I don't) and use the Netti Pot to clean out my sinuses. I will say ok (I'm lying) and then go get my drugs--amoxicillin and diflucan... for the you know where b/c antibiotics have that effect on me.

But I won't take that allergy mess everyday nor will I put salt water UP MY NOSE!!!! Nope, not gonna happen! (That is my stubbornness!)

Great News!!!

Wow! it has been awhile since I have posted! The month of February was the longest and coldest that I can remember... If it snowed one more time I was going to shoot somebody!!! This is North Carolina doggone it! Now, we have touches of spring... warm weather means pedis, so I am making an appointment to the spa as soon as I can get another free moment...

Now to my news... I bought a car!!! Yay me!!! Finally, i was able to get rid of that thousand year old Saturn... I bought a 2002 black Jetta. Yes, i know that it is not new, but it is new to me. Since the repo of the Altima from the marriage with the devil, I have had jacked up, i mean JACKED up, credit. My ex brother in law, D, hooked me up... He dropped the price $2500 , but with the interest rate, somebody is still getting that money. Oh well, I look at it as a way to rebuild my credit so I can purchase a home. That is my ultimate goal. When I graduate I will be sitting pretty with a $10,000 a year increase in salary and decent credit... Thank you Jesus!!!

I have to give Him the praise because He is the one that made this possible. No, I don't want to make a car payment and yes, I will be stretched, but I won't be sitting on the side of I-40 anymore with my kids...

Back to the car... It is black with beige cloth interior, power windows and locks (thank ya, the Saturn did not have them) and a sunroof. I love it!!! The best part is that even though it is 7 years old, it only had 58,000 miles on it!!!! I will post pics soon. This is the first car that I have purchased by myself. Phillip (the devil) and I bought the Mazda and the Altima together and my parents paid for most of the Saturn.

I am so happy!!! I am thankful for the chance to purchase this car and praying to God that He helps mt to keep it. I guess that I need to look for a summer job... I applied to Harris Teeter for a cashier position. I hope that I get it. It is less than a 1/2 mile from the house. I am also going to apply at my favorite store-- JC Penney. I hope that I get that one and that I don't spend up all of my money there... LOL

Good nite all, I need to get ready for church tomorrow because it will be daylight savings times-- a loss of one hour of sleep, but more daylight for the sunroof!!!!

Also, I am so stoked that I, me, have a follower... I guess that I have to post more often. My life is not that interesting though, but THANKS!!! for wanting to know more about Sassy me!!!

Peace, love and wind blowing through my blowout,
