Not as subtle as waking up to a cat rubbing his face across mine, or purring in my ear. The noise that woke me up this morning was a result of a nasty storm and crazy drivers. I am unsure what it is about bad weather that makes some people decide to drive over the speed limit and take chances on icy roads, but in front of the house, a pick-up truck sideswiped a logging truck and both vehicles slid off the road into the ditch.

What a mess, and it is doubtful that the passengers in the pickup truck survived very long. The logging truck didn’t have much damage to it, but the driver looked quite shook up.

It has been raining, windy, drizzling and snowing in the last few days. The roads are flooded and icy a bad combination. I have been trying to stay off my foot as much as possible but we have had power outtages, so sleeping is something I have been doing a lot of.

I called the doctor this morning to get an antibiotic to kick this cellulitis. I was told when I explained that I had figured out what was wrong with me (and four doctors had completely mis-diagnosed me- that “you are not capable of self-diagnosing yourself!” Right- and THEY are? Finally after a lot of arguing, I got them to phone in a prescription for me. I started taking it this morning. It’s not as strong as I believe I need, but at least it is something!
