It's alive! It's alive!

Last week, in reference to Cold FX, I commented " I think if I'm not feeling better by -say, Monday, I'll give the stuff a thumbs down." Well, it's Wednesday, and I'm feeling a bit brighter - but I don't think I'll pay $15 for a course of Cold FX again.

On the other hand, maybe I have the galloping desert plague or something, and I can't blame Cold FX for not curing that. I had a doctor's appointment this morning, during which I nearly choked to death. My doctor looked horrified, went off to get me an inhaled steroid, and then said "You haven't been in the desert, have you?" Well, as a matter of fact... "When you've been in the desert, we always have to worry about weird stuff."

So off I went for blood work and chest x-rays, and next week I'll go to the ophthalmologist to determine why I'm seeing double from time to time. So maybe I caught weird stuff when I was in the desert. Maybe I can get a referral to Dr. House.

But in fact, I think I've got a horrid cold and my eyes are going screwy, and I suspect I'll live.

Meanwhile, life in the Land of Blog has been going on, as life does. Before I came into my own blog, I glanced down my bloglist and checked to make sure that Angie wasn't really pregnant with twins - ah, yes, it is the first of April - and now I'm going to see about catching up on a week's worth of blogs.
