Now it's strep

November 2nd, 2009 at 05:16 am

DS's doctor called this morning. They gave him a quick strep test in the office on Friday and it came back negative. She called today to say the "real strep test" (when they send it out to the lab) came back positive, and she called in an antibiotic (only $5). The good news is that he has none of the typical symptoms of strep (no fever, sore throat). The bad news is that DD had a cough all day today, and has already had strep 3 times this year. She doesn't have a fever or anything yet, and I'm praying that it's just a sore throat and will pass. I'm just happy that it's not the flu (yet).

Hubby was very supportive of my book selling today. He saved a few boxes from the recycle bin that he thought would be perfect for boxing up the books. I told him my "frugal friends" would be proud. Then he asked me how much I made doing this. I told him that the library sale last week will net me $38 and he rolled his eyes. Hubby, frugal friends will NOT be proud of you scoffing at $38!

HUGE list of errands tomorrow. I'm going to do my best:
1) Go to Post Office
2) Go to Fed Ex office
3) Go to Bank to deposit check
4) Drop off gift cards
5) Go to library to pick up the rest of the books to sell
6) Balance checkbook
7) Pay pool closing bill
8) Pay Heating/AC company bill
9) Call Verizon Wireless - I dropped a service last month and it's still showing up on my bill
10) Send in a rebate
11) Go grocery shopping

Phew, I'm tired already!

    He'll get it - later!

    Have you ever tried Sambucol? It's available at health food stores (or it's equivalent) - about 15 a bottle. It's basically elderberry juice. Good to keep those beginnings of sore throats from becoming the raging throat from hell! Twice now this year I've had the throat tickles that normally would turn to full blown infections, but have caught them all just in the nick of time and staved them off by taking an ounce of Sambu a couple of times a day till it's tamed back into submission.

    Hey, we're proud of your $38!

    Perhaps it would help your hubby if it was equated to something he likes - like, for mine, $38 equals 2 bags of birdseed plus a suet package. (Don't know if that's for real price-wise, Mr H just likes to feed the birds!)

    Yipee for $38! We all know that those small amounts add up over time. Just keep track and in a few months, show him the total again!

    Great job!

    Makes me thankful my hubby gets excited if he finds a dime.
