Feel like crap

I feel terrible. Apparently, the weeds are starting to bloom--not sure which ones, but I know I'm allergic to ragweed--and as a result, I've spent the last three days doing my best to hack up my lungs. I probably need to call to get my prescription for Advair renewed. I don't think I'll be making it to sparring tonight. Tea and cough drops don't help much. I didn't get much done this weekend. Went to the Powderhorn Arts festival Saturday, but didn't do anything Sunday except read. I'm dreading the bike ride in today. I'll probably take the bike on the train today. Breathing hurts. Can't blow work off today; there's a huge filing tomorrow I have to help get ready for today. Urgh.

Unfortunately, I really do have to go in because there is nobody else who can cover what I have to do today. One of my attorneys has to prepare to file a motion for summary judgment in a jurisdiction where I'm the only one who has undergone the training for electronic filing. So I'm stuck with it.

The thing is, I know that this coughing is going to go on for days, if left untreated. It's not like staying home is going to do any good.

I really will call about getting that Advair prescription today. This is just miserable.

Ask your doctor about a "burst" prescription for prednisone. It costs about $6 for a week-2 week supply. It's not anything you want to take regularly, but it works wonders during the high hay fever season.
