Chuck's a Little lonesome....

I talked to Chuck quite a bit over the last couple of days....he had to sit in TN for a couple of days, waiting for times for drop-offs, and then went to Alabama ....still in AL, today. He has to be at his destination early I thought he said. Then, it's off to Texas....not very long trips. That's okay, as long as he stays busy and away from the bad weather! Now that the bad weather has started up here that's my big worry. He was complaining in Tennessee that he had to turn the air conditioning on because it was 80 degrees and humid...the day after it snowed, here. Well, as long as he stays in that region the only thing he'll have to worry about is tornadoes and maybe tropical storms if he gets close to the borders. We don't want to think about that. The layovers got so long he started calling everyone who might be home just to waste the time.....we have unlimited minutes on our phone, so don't worry about taking up his time...he needs to know he still belongs to this family! He ended up talking to my dad for 45 minutes...he was the only one home!!

I finally went to the Dr. today, Chuck said he was sick of worrying about my health while he was gone....turns out I have the flu! (what a shock) Sam and I both got prescriptions for Tamiflu, however, the dr. said we could fill it, or not, it's a virus, even if it is H1N1. She said they only send them in to the CDC if there are other risks involved. So, type A influenza covers H1N1, too. I didn't really think we had it, anyway. We've been self-medicating this crud for a couple of weeks, already. Sam's had a high temp, though....but he's really good at drinking water - that's the main concern. Anyway, so, honey, we'll be fine. Just lots of fluids, lots of sleep (right) and no outside socializing for a week ....that'll be really tough (since I NEVER leave the house). Anyway, I'm going to rock the baby to sleep...he's very needy right now....stay safe out there - they salted the bridge and intersections in Sauk Rapids, tonight (that shocked me) it was 26 degrees...you better enjoy your 70 and sunny, baby!! :) Love you & Miss you!!
