Zapped!

I've been zapped--zapped by a "Z-pack" antibiotic that the doctor gave me yesterday. Yes, it's true--I had to go back to the doctor again. My sinuses were totally stopped up, and all of the goop associated with my condition started turning a strange shade of yellow. So it was back to the doctor (the nurses now know me by name), and he gave me a very fast-acting, potent, three-day antibiotic. Supposedly it will absorb itself into my internal tissues and remain there for 14 days. Sounds great, but there is a problem: side effects. The Z-pack has made me feel nasty. Last night it felt like there was a basketball in my stomach, and then I got really nauseous and thought I was going to have to spend the night in the bathroom. (I know that the cause of this sickness is the Z-pack and not separation anxiety because my separation anxiety has abated significantly over the last couple of days, and it says on the Z-pack: "May cause stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, and internal discomfort.") So anyway, I need to get feeling better soon since the wedding is in 16 days!

Today Mom and I had a fun time going over to the Hobble Creek Barn boutique in Mapleton. That is one of our favorite fall activities, and they had a lot of cute things there. I love fall! It is beautiful outside with the leaves on the mountains changing colors.

Oooh, yucky. Not a good thing. I will pray for you to be all better soon! I can't believe your wedding is coming up so quickly--how WONDERFUL!!! I can't wait. Oh, and by the way, I keep forgetting to call your mom to RSVP, so can this count? Nick and I are there for the day :)

I'm so glad you wrote about the Hobble Creek Barn boutique. I got a great watch there a couple of years ago, so I thought I'd stop by again this year to see what they had.

Love you Tiff! and get better soon.
