THREE MORE HOURS BUT WHO'S COUNTING---ME!

Turns out I went to the doctor yesterday. The rash got so big I wanted to be sure it wasn't cellulitis. It wasn't but she recommend a steroid treatment because the benadryl was too hard for me to take and could not work very quickly if I took the non sleepy variety. SO...I took the steroid and it is working. The rash is much smaller HOWEVER the side effects are not fun. I woke up at 2:45 ready to go. Wide awake and no where to go! I finally got up at 4 am and left the house at 4:30 am. Since I take a 5:30 bus I was pretty sure I would be the first one on line. NOPE! There were TWO people in front of me. DO they SLEEP there?



Actually we don't really line up. We put some possession of ours, like an umbrella or newspaper, there to hold our place. Then we wait in our car until about 5:25. Some people leave some really interesting items. One guy leaves a block of wood, a woman leaves a rubber toy, some leave their briefcase and others leave water. Quite interesting. What really fascinates me, though, is that the next bus is at 5:40 and people start lining up for that one at 5:15. If there is room on my 5:30 bus I wonder why they just don't take the earlier one. Oh well, I am sure it makes some kind of sense to them. Lots of times my bus is full and some of the people on line have to take the next one. That's why we get there early, so that doesn't happen to us. If I take the later bus it would be real close, my getting to work on time.



Lots to do tonight. I have to pack and remember my air mattress and a very warm sleeping bag since I am going to try and sleep in the art building which has no heat. Then I have to have a cooking lesson from Frank so I know how to warm up the food. And before all this I hope to go to knitting at Panera tonight. Oh yeh - I also have to get over to JoAnne's to buy the wool and crochet needle for the blanket I want Denise to teach me how to knit. So much to do and so little time but since I am so hyper from the steroids I can probably go with little to no sleep tonight!



So back to work so I can take the next two days off guilt free. Not really all that possible for me but I will do my best.
