Freak Allergic Reaction

So I had to go see the Dr. today. It appears I'm having a weird allergic reaction to this OTC medication I took, which was a generic brand, of course. This was for my infection that I had this week. Well, the Dr. advised me not to use that kind anymore. Oh, I promise, believe you me! I was sort of panicking this a.m. and S refused to inspect me too closely--he's kind of squeamish. Fortunately they were able to give me an appt. at 10:15; unfortunately this particular Dr. of mine is in freakin' Clear Lake, or Webster, same difference. And I got lost trying to make it back to the freeway. Anyway, she gave me a prescrip. and told me to try taking Benadryl, which I did when I got to work. I would rather have not come in today but it's really not that big of a deal, I just hope the Benadryl doesn't make me too sleepy.

I gotta go pick up the baby after work anyway, an over 2 hours round-trip drive. I'm re-thinking going to the Mayor's party tonight, b/c I was soooo cold this a.m. and it's going to be just as cold tonight. I love wearing my big huge furry leopard coat (that people always admire! :-)) but the cold makes me not want to do anything short of hibernating. We might make cookies tonight, or maybe we'll wait until tomorrow night.

Court case note: Still no word from counsel on our hearing date. I'm sure if she got one I would've gotten an email from her, but nothing. This sucks, waiting. I was talking to one of my relatives last night about all this and she responded with a cliche, "Good things come to those who wait." Should that console me, or just make me angrier? In the Amy Tan book, which I will be done with by tonight (it's a fast read) she says to always avoid cliches, both in writing and in life.
