Chronic Sinusitis

I had great intentions of getting through more Alaska photos last night, but was hit with some serious sickness instead.   It seems for the last month every Thursday I’ve become so congested and have a runny nose at the same time.   Last night was definitely the worst of it, and it forced me to find a doctor today and go in for a visit.   Fortunately I found a nice little office within walking distance of home, and they were able to get me in today.

A nurse performed all the standard tests, which I seem pretty much normal on everything, and then the doctor came in for a quick look.   She noticed some swelling in my throat and obviously some bad sinus issues.   I got my prescription for a Z-Pak and was on my way.   Now if only Walgreen’s would cooperate and give me the drugs.   I dropped off the note and was told it was a 45 minute wait.   Can’t they just grab it off the shelf and give it to me?   Anyway, I have to go back there after work to pick up my prescription and hopefully some relief will be on the way soon.

When All Else Fails, Fantasy Football

I really wanted to have another set of Alaska pictures ready for today, but I haven’t had the time to get completely through them.   I’m starting with over 400 pictures from Day 5 and currently have it down to 250.   I still have lots of cleaning up to do, but hopefully tomorrow (or Monday) I’ll have them ready.

With that said, here’s a quick update on my fantasy football leagues.   I won my game in one money league and lost in the other.   That makes my record 2-1 in the first and 0-3 in the second.   I’m really getting beat up in my father-in-law’s office pool.   I lost in my other regular fantasy league on Monday night.   I was winning at the end of Sunday, so that always hurts.   My record is 1-2 in that league.   I remain tied for second place in college pick’em.   I’m also tied for 7th in a pro pick’em and winning another that only has a few people in it.   I’m still alive in the survivor game, with my pick of Baltimore over Cleveland last weekend.   And I am still really clueless in the salary cap game.
