Well, I am now on an amoxicillin derivative, and guaifenesin (prescription-strength: it's nasty capsule-shaped tablets that I have to push way back in my mouth before swallowing because they taste bad). One of the things I like about my doctor is that he listens to his patients' medication concerns. I once told him that decongestants made me jittery, and instead of saying "Oh, that was just THAT particular brand" or trying to push me to try them again, he gives me an alternate (the guaifenesin is an expectorant, it has pretty low side effects).

I know it's TMI, but I've been blowing my nose since I got up and it seems that the guaifenesin is doing its job. My head and throat are starting to clear.

My doctor did kind of gasp when he looked at my throat. He couldn't believe I was still trying to talk with it as red as it was.

Last night I finished the blueberry waffle socks. These were made of Zitron Cambridge, which I think is a discontinued yarn (I bought mine about a year ago from Elann. It's actually a bit lighter than DK weight - sort of between sport and DK. The socks are a bit tighter than most of the blueberry waffles I've made, but they still fit.

Tonight, as long as I'm feeling up to it, I must clean house. It's gotten really trashed while I was sick. And the floors are all dusty.
