Went Home Early

May 15th, 2015 at 04:23 am

I ended up going home early from work today. I just was not feeling well at all. When I told my boss, she told me that she wasn't surprised because one of the other ladies in the office had told her it sounded like I was getting sick again.

I decided to go to the doctor because some of what was being coughed up was colored ... She listened to my lungs and said they were clear - so just really bad allergies. I told her I'd been taking Allegra D for three weeks or so with little effect which was weird for me since it used to be really effective.

She asked me if I'd tried Flonase - I told her I had one time before but it gave me nosebleeds. She told me it was all in how you sprayed it ... So I agreed to try a nasal spray. (Which I found out tonight is $60!!! after insurance. It better me a miracle worker spray!)

I haven't gotten the prescriptions yet because by the time they were ready I just didn't feel like going back out again. (I called three times from 2 to 5, and they weren't ready til 6!)

I listed a bunch of things on the FB group yesterday, and had three items get picked up quickly .. supposedly. One person backed out of the purchase today completely, and another gave some excuse as to why they couldn't come today, but scheduled a time for tomorrow. ugh I could have taken a nice nap if I hadn't had to worry about being awake to hear their knock!

I was sitting and reading when I heard a strange gurgling sound. After checking around in the bathroom and kitchen, I noticed some very smelly water in the bottom of my garbage disposal. So I turned on the water and started the disposal thinking it was clogged up. To my dismay and disgust, brownish very stinky water started to come up on BOTH sides of my sink (divided sink) - roughly an inch of this nasty stuff on each side.

I called my landlord, and when he got back to me he told me he'd have someone come over tomorrow afternoon. He said it was probably the dishwasher drain plugged up, and not to use my dishwasher or kitchen sink.

I'm just glad it isn't sewer water or something like that which was my first thought - there were some horror stories in the paper last week after the flooding of problems with sewage flooding basement apartments in some areas of the city (of course I don't have a basement apartment ...)

I almost forgot! One of the email replies to my last blog was very weird. When I looked at it on my phone there was no written content, but some object that I was supposed to touch/click to download. I didn't click on it of course! I checked my blog for that person's response, and there was a normal looking comment from that person - no smiley's or anything that looked like it could cause a download thing. Kind of worrisome ... anyone else get anything like that?

    Hope you're feeling better. FWIW...I ask prospective buyers [who say they're coming to see an item listed for sale], to phone when 'on their way/arrival imminent' as I may be on the patio and not hear the doorbell. Eliminates concern that you might not hear the doorbell. It also gives you the opportunity to have a neighbour come over for security.

    Hope you're better now.

    I really dislike no shows or those that back out. That's where sometimes is just isn't worth the hassle. I hope they do get sold though.

    Flonase worked well for our daughter in the past. Can you get the generic version by prescription? Flonase is now over the counter too, so it doesn't seem right to be charged $60...after insurance. I would talk to the pharmacist. I hope you feel better soon.

    I haven't had any comments like you have indicated. I don't check my comments on a phone though.

    FrugalTexan I once worked in a really old building and 5 mins before we closed one of the upstairs toilet pipes started leaking down the staircase!!! Trust me on this one- you'll know if you have a sewage leak! You can't miss it.
    Not. A. Good. Experience.

    DD also gets generic flonase--which sometimes helps a little bit, especially with cat allergies for her. I agree with CCF, the no-shows on FB are annoying, partly because I hear the cha-ching of my mental cash register the moment they supposedly commit.

    I'm on Claritin D and Nasonex spray for allergy relief.

    Snafu - that's a good idea

    Thanks SG - stayed home today - miserable night coughing

    CCF - I'm not sure its the nasal spray that's $60 - I'm heading over to pick the stuff up soon (waiting for rain/hail to stop ... )

    I hadn't had any messages similar to it before, which is why it struck me as really weird.

    VS - Ick!

    MEC - The doctor said something about steroid nasal spray - not sure if it is similar to Flonase, but she'd asked me if I'd used it before

    The no shows and the uncommits are uber annoying!

    NJDebbie - Years ago I tried Claratin D and found it didn't work for me. I'm glad it works for you though!

    I agree Flonase should be well under $20 dollars. Check over the counter price, too. Good luck!
