Bummer weekend

I hate it when my weekends fizzle.  I don't mind it if a Tuesday or a Thursday bombs, but don't mess with my weekends.

Yesterday was Cars and Coffee, but as I came down with some sort of sinus congestion/snotting/blowing/coughing condition on Friday night (no fever), and since Saturday morning it was 30 degrees with a wind chill of 23, I decided to pass on C&C.  Yet I still had to go to a business meeting.  Something is waaaay wrong with this picture!  



And to rub salt into the wound, on the way to my meeting I could see the Cars and Coffee site from the freeway, and it was packed. 

Then today K and I had planned to go see our newest family member, granddaughter Reese, but with my snotting and sneezing I decided to spare the poor child.  I am getting out long enough to go to the pharmacy for some Flonase, then by Starbucks for a coffee to-go.  Otherwise I'm stuck here today.

One good thing I found today....Teledoc.  It's a feature of our health insurance that allows us to call an 800 number and talk to a doctor, and if the ailment is something minor like mine, they'll call in a Rx without requiring a face-to-face visit.  I like.

I found an English rugby game on TV I'm taping for playback later, and I have a James Bond movie in the wings for later this evening, too.  I guess I'll muddle through.

Hope y'all are having more fun than me today.  ;)

  2. Business meeting? Do I have to remind you YOU ARE RETIRED!

    That "Phone a Doc" sounds like a great idea. I hope some lawyer doesn't ruin it.

    1. SEMI-retired, Joe. I still help out bro some. I do draw a little salary and I still own half the company.

      Yeah, Teledoc works great. This is one of those annoying ailments that I would not have gone to the doctor for...I would have just toughed it out. But with help just a phone call away....

  3. I'm a big believer in Afrin. No prescription necessary and a clogged nose is open up before you have time to set down the bottle. Get well soon.

    Couch and TV time sound like my ideal weekend. Of course, minus the congestion.
