saifaiThe coughing saga continues...
Couldn't have happened on a better day. Remember that whole thing I had with the allergic reaction to the medication? Right. Well the dilemma continues. My throat continues to bother me. I've had a tickle in the back of my throat. I've had it since the muscle pains finally went away in late December. I've got a persistent cough that just won't quit.
My doctor has no idea what's wrong with me. He was just as dumbfounded at the violent reaction I had to the medication. The continuing effects has him truly baffled. In about a week or two if I'm still not better he's promised to send me off to a specialist to see what they think.
Last night my coughing took an abrupt turn for the worst. The coughing isn't as persistent, but it hurts my throat now (as it didn't before), and I'm starting to lose my voice.
Goggles Ahoy!
I did visit my eye doctor yesterday. Got new glasses. They're the same style as before, the ones with the bottom half of the frame missing. Got a dark red color this time that the assistant lady swears makes my eyes "pop". We shall see. Bonus, my eyes have gotten worse, but they're now the same power. I'm gonna order me just a box of contacts for backup situations in a few weeks. Yay me!

I had one of those internet geek thrill moments. I found a new online store I didn't know existed before. I can now entirely bypass my local church clothing store and order everything I need online. Cheap plus free shipping equals one happy Saifai. Bonus? No need for a temple recommend to prove my membership *scowls at new security restrictions at local store*.
The Weasley twins have nothing on my students...
A couple of my students have taken it upon themselves to make my life hell. The two students in question change from week to week, but the two latest culprits have been regulars on the list of delinquents.
This latest fight is for the record books though. This sort of thing could only happen to me it seems. A student threw a snowball through an open window as be passed them on the road. (which was open BTW as a result of a fight with said students because they'd figured out that open windows that let in cold air make me squeal and hide in my coat like a turtle). Of course, those two brats took it as a sign to they needed to have a snowball fight. Granted, they were miniature snowballs, but still...
The first one to get his retaliated with a belt after he ran out of snow. Keep in mind here that I'm in the seat between these students. Anyway, the one takes his belt off and looks over his shoulder to wait until the driver isn't looking, and then reaches over my head to attempt whipping the other student. I try to take the belt away, and in the mean time the whipping victim goes on a hunt for more snow to throw. The belt finally gets subdued, but now the shoes have come off and are being made into projectiles. I take the shoes away and hide them under my seat. Much begging and pleading later and the shoes are returned, but the hunt for more snow to throw has begun again.
*sigh* They are so on my list. There will be payback. *rubs hands in glee and plots* Nothing too serious I'm afraid. Putting them in pink tutus and making them sing "I'm a little teapot" in the quad is out, I'm afraid. I might be able to get them to sit in the front seat, together, and trade off on bus cleaning duty for a couple days.
