I Fart When I'm Happy

Still floating on green waters, I am.  The Z-Pac didn't work and I'm still coughing and gagging.  My primary doctor prescribed Augementin and Advair for a month.  A month!!!  Something about not wanting it to turn into pneumonia, blah, blah, blah.  Also, I went to see my Plastic Surgeon who stuck a cool lighted scope up my nose and pronounced no deviation of septum, your scars aren't that bad, come back when you're wrinkly and jowly.  Really!  That's what he said.  Such a smooth bedside manner;  that's why see him.

And then last week.  What an amazing time I had with my Ho's at the Hood Canal.  I know that the fact that they are the most technologically challenged women I've ever met should drive me crazy, but this actually worked in my favor.  So much in my favor.  First, if they put their phone down, I would secretly take pictures of myself making faces.  Second, I posted things on Facebook with their phones, so that readers would think they are crazy.  My favorite post was, "I fart when I'm happy."  She had no clue, but boy did her friends respond.  I kept sneaking looks at her profile and then the whole gag was discovered when her husband called her from Italy and said, "WTF?  You should watch where you leave your phone."

To my greater amusement, I watched them try to take the post down.

I don't think they've looked at their pictures either. 

Green Waters

We did SE Alaska.  Ketchikan to Juneau which was really modern AK.  It was everything I expected and then some.  Way big and disgusting Disney and Norwegian ships in port, next to our little cruiser servicing 56.

We didn't see any other boats for at least five out of seven days.  The company of salmon, otters, seals, bears, eagles, moose and humpback whales was so worth it.  We counted 21 blow holes spouting at one sitting and that was the highlight.  Whales as sunset and tails flipping everywhere;  a truly amazing sight.  The glacier calving was cool, too, but expected and cold.  I also learned to paddle board and I'd like to do that some more.

I came back with a cold, which I suspect is an ongoing sinus infection.  My nose is constantly stuffed, I'm coughing green (I know, isn't that a lovely thought?) and my face hurts.  Not that my face doesn't always hurt, but it does. 

I believe one of the continuing side effects of Lyrica is memory loss, as evidenced by neglecting to fill the RX prior to leaving.  I thought that I could get by until refill, missing about two doses.  Boy, was that ever stupid.  Freezing burning face is almost as bad as burning pee face, which is code for a bad bladder infection.  Not that I've had those in a long time, knock on woodage, but every woman I know can relate.

So anyway...super happy to have seen wildlife in the wild and enjoyed the company of the Mister, but as usual, way too short.

I shall swallow some Mucinex and hope for the best.
