Ok, so I went to the doctor yesterday and found out that though I don't have an "upper respiratory infection" per say, I have severe chest and sinus congestion which has in turn given me a secondary infection in my trachea. I wondered "Just how does one get an infection in their TRACHEA?!?!" (WARNING: THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION IS NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH!) My Doctor said that because of my violent coughing and all the mucus from the chest and sinus congestion that the mucus got into the irritated areas in my trachea caused by the coughing and created little pockets which got infected. Yeah, YUCK! Gross! So I'm on antibiotics for the next 10 days. The doctor said that I wouldn't start feeling better until Sunday. So that's another weekend gone. Now, here's the interesting thing. I'm highly alergic to any hydrocodone, which means I can't take codeine or vicodin so the prescription cough suppresants are out of the question. He said that even though I'm on antibiotics that I should go ahead and "self medicate" with my favorite alcoholic beverage before I go to bed. I didn't bother to tell him that I have a freakishly high tolerance for alcohol so I wouldn't be doing that. So by Sunday I should start feeling better. I really hope to start feeling better before then b/c today at work just wore me out. I was there for 10 hours today...all of them working, no lunch, b/c we were so stinking busy. By the time I dragged myself out of there I could barely walk to my car. The doctor advised me to stay home today but I couldn't let Rebecca be there with 37 regular employees, 20 out of town visiting workers with the the president of our division coming in to town tomorrow and finalizing the upstairs expansion not to mention that she's the executive assistant. Yeah, needless to say I couldn't let her do all of that by herself so I convinced the doctor to reluctantly give me clearance to go back today - relatively against his wishes. Rebecca actually called me yesterday to ask if I was going to be there today and then told me I sounded awful. Gee, thanks, I already knew that. Tomorrow back to the grind for another full day. I'm wishing I had taken the doctor's advice to stay home one more day. LOL!
Ok, so I'm putting up another set of church signs. And seriously, person who disparages the signs by saying drivel like Do you think putting a witty phrase on a sign does anyone any good...does this encourage us to live our lives differently...or do they just make Christian laught and turn non-believers away from experiencing authentic relationships and truth from people? you know who you are...does it really matter in the scope of things? You don't like them, don't read them. Others enjoy them as I do. They are wise, catchy little sayings that anyone who cared to could take to heart and learn from them. It's not a topic for discussion b/c this is my blog and I will continue to post them b/c I enjoy them and I like the sayings. If you think they're lame like you stated previously, you don't have to come back and keep reading them, but if you do read them, I don't want to hear anything from you how you don't like them b/c it was your choice to read them in the first place. SIGH.

Those are great Church signs.
A friend of mine has a saying on her emails, and I love it.
My worst day with God is better than my best day without Him.
I read it every time I get an email from her, and love it more and more each time.
Excellent church signs, Nic!
"I have a freakishly high tolerance for alcohol."
I think I love you!
you in an earlier post in this one. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings, but honestly...I just wanted to make a statement about how I think church signs are not effective in parting wisdom.
You may disagree and I am fine with that. Just so you know, I posted this exchange of ours on my own blog (strangeculture.blogspot.com).
I hope that it is alright with you.

Thanks
So what, RC's not allowed to comment? You've got comments open, so you should take the negative along with the positive comments. And it's not like RC was being especially harsh.
That's how blogs work. You give your opinion, and the rest of the world can share their opinion in your comments.
