odds & ends

so, the other night we were coming home from seeing cory's family. we had just gotten off the interstate and were coming up on a stoplight. it turned yellow as we approached, so we slowed down & stopped as it turned red. immediately it turned green again, allowed us to go under, and just as quickly turned red again. it was kind of a bizarre incident, but it was one of those time where i wondered if we were being protected from something. i think we might all be amazed to realize how often we are watched over. there are times when i feel like i "get it", but i wonder how many times i don't....

i think i've posted in recent weeks about my ongoing battle with a uti. i finally was referred to a urologist and began a new round of antibiotics this past friday. thursday night i hadn't gotten much sleep...ditto, friday night. so when i woke up saturday morning with swollen eyelids, i just figured too little sleep had done me in. sometime saturday....maybe that night?....i noticed a rash on the insides of my elbows. again, i wrote this off as just "one of those things". by sunday night, the rash had spread to my stomach & back. it's a little hard to see, but it feels like goosebumps all over my body. and it itches--not too badly, but it does itch. and my eyelids are more swollen than every and they really itch a lot and burn, too. so now i think i may be having an allergic reaction to penicillin. hopefully i will hear back from the doctor shortly.

i also have a list of 101 things i need to get done, but don't know how or when i will be able to. some days are just like that!
