Now I remember why I don't like going to the doctor...it costs too freaking much! Yes, I have a sinus infection and so my doctor gave me a sample of Accuhist, along with a prescription of Avelox. The Avelox cost $40 for a 10-day prescription! I was thinking it would be a generic thing and I'd get out of there for $5, or at the very most our non-generic price which is $15, I think. Apparently, it's not on the preferred prescription list. But what could I do? I can't not take it, after the way I felt yesterday. This better be some good stuff.

I'm going to the doctor today. I don't know what I've got, but yesterday I couldnt' get it to respond to any medicine. I'm thinking it is a sinus infection, but I have a dumb feeling I'm going to get to the doctor and he's going to laugh and tell me it is just a cold! I actually don't feel too bad this morning. The congestion is better and only one eye is watering. I know once I get into that dry air at work though, it will go into overdrive! I hate going to the doctor and I hate being sick. If I didn't have a program this morning, I would stay home and sleep until my appointment. But I don't think I'm particularly contaigous. I'll see what Karen says this morning. She may just send me home anyhow.

It really just hit me hard this morning that Carmen has actually left. We had a dinner on Sunday and that was hard, but when I was washing my face this morning and I saw my Clinique 7-day Scrub, I all of a sudden realized that no one would go to Clinique Bonus Time with me anymore. I know we will talk. We have all kinds of plans to do a joint blog and to start knitting and everything, but it's not the same as actually having her here. Being able to go to lunch or the mall at a moments notice. And who's going to counsel me in my relationship woes. No one understands as well as she does. My best friend is gone and I don't know what to do.
