No heat, sickness and snow!

Well last Wednesday I got home from work (my first day back) and my heater didn't work. I was without heat until Friday night, when the A/C DOC finally was able to fix it - the ignitor had gone bad. So Friday night I enjoyed heat again. Saturday morning I woke up sick. I stayed home all day and did nothing but sleep, watch some corny movie on TV, and work for 4 hours. I missed a Christmas party that night :( Sunday I woke up sick and went to Urgent Care. I was given a prescription for sudafed and robitussin - I didn't think it was going to help. And it didn't. I missed church and a leadership dinner :( I went in to work on Monday, and got worse. I missed Orchestra :( It snowed Monday night - but it didn't stick. Tuesday I worked from home and went back to Urgent care, and got on an antibiotic for the painful deep couch and congestion in my throat. I missed Small Group :( Wednesday I worked from home in the morning and then went in to work because Wednesday was our deadline for all the end of the year stuff - it was a very hectic and stressful week - and the WORST work week of the year for me to be sick. I missed a rehearsal :( Thursday I went in to work again, but I shouldn't have - I was home by 3pm. It snowed 3-4 includes overnight and my front year was completely COVERED in snow! Friday I stayed home and worked (thank goodness I can work from home!) and the Doctor called and since I wasn't getting much better, put me on a different and stronger antibiotic. I shoveled my driveway so I could go get my prescription (I probably shouldn't have). Today I am beginning to feel better. I had rehearsal in Maryland (doesn't that sound crazy? - but it's so close, really - about 20 minutes) for a piece I'm playing tomorrow morning at a church that the conductor of the Orchestra I joined also conducts at. I love the piece - it's titled "Gloria", by John Rudder. I'm playing tympani. There are two services - and I have to be there at 8am so I better get to bed - yikes!!!
