Good afternoon everyone.
I too am in shock that it is October already. Jeanette, I hope you have a blast at your progressive dinner.
Karen, glad you had fun in Fresno. When you mentioned drinking whole raw milk, I assumed it was unpasteurized (I could be wrong) and all I could think about is all the bacteria that cause disease (yes, this next block exam covers all pathogenic bacteria, in addition to path, pharm, etc)
Rhea, by any chance are you taking lisinopril? It is a blood pressure medication that can sometimes give people the feeling that they need to clear their throats or cough. If not, hope you figure it out!
Yesterday DH and I did ME together. He did as much of the ab work as he could but about midway through it, he was saying explitives at Cathe and began to laugh hysterically.
Today I was freaking out about all the drugs I have to know for this block exam on Friday and went up to the elliptical machines and spent about 1.5 hours on it while I read over my pharm. Crazy I know...but I feel better now...I worked out all that tension.
Oh, we had to stop the maid service. They let my pets out and almost lost them! Even had to go up to the apartment office and get help finding them. They are totally inside pets but will get curious if a door is left open. I can't have that! When we move to Pensacola we'll get another housekeeper that won't endanger my "children".
Tonight we are celebrating a friend's birthday and we're going to an indian restaurant. Not a huge fan of indian food, except the naan bread. So yummy. Anyway, back to studying. I have a feeling my posts will be short this week (except maybe Friday when the test is over). Hope everyone had a great weekend!
