Antibiotics

Have you ever noticed how many types of Antibiotics there are? There are red ones, and yellow ones, and yellow and red ones, and liquids, there are some you take three times a day, some four and, some two, and don't ever take those once a day beggars they are evil and will ruin your teeth. There are some you take with food, some you take before food and some you never take with food. Well my lovely antibiotics are white and no instruction was given apart from twice a day, this said I knew they were gonna be strong, so half an hour after the first tablet the nausea started, I may have been suffering food poisoning, which really is unfair, My Beloved shared the same meal and he is fit and dandy, anyway I had no nausea that is until I started the tablets to make me better, this lead me to believe these tablets need to be fed when you take them, now thats not easy when you can not eat because you have spasms and the lurgy. So the only thing I can do is wait until the lurgy subsides and I fed the antibiotics what they need when I need to take them.

It took an age to get myself showered and dressed who would have thought a little bug could be so demanding of your energy levels, an hour later I was almost presentable, only almost. I managed to potter around the house and tidy a few things into cupboards, we have now been in the apartment since Saturday and I have spent most of that time in my bed, not a great start.

The Sofa and chairs arrived yesterday and I have them arranged until the other furniture arrives and I can really play house again. The Doctor advised plain soup or tatties, so I baked a tattie in my new oven, have you ever used and brand new oven, ewwww it stinks, which is not good when you already feel squiffy,

My Beloved's garlic sauce he had with his pizza last night got binned, every time I opened the fridge the smell hit my nose and the nausea started, so oot it went, the fridge was one thing, but the bedroom through the night from My Beloved's garlic overload was killing me, I lost count of the amount of times I poked him in the ribs and told him to roll over, euk. I had to fumigate the whole apartment this morning, due mainly to garlic, and I love the garlic, just not when I'm sick.

My table, coffee table, and TV unit arrived, two lovely, very efficient and thankfully English speaking gentlemen worked double quick to build them then show me how the extending table works, and then hang the TV unit on the wall, eeee it's lush, I was advised no sitting on the TV unit, doh...... so when they left I tidied the dust from the drilling into the walls and the sawdust that came off the table as it was turned over, they manoeuvred my lovely furniture into place, the place is certainly coming together nicely, tomorrow the garden furniture arrives, and after the heat of today I cant wait.

Dina called and asked how I was feeling, I left messages for Amy as I haven't been able to see her, and then a managed a quick catch up with Natalie. My Beloved is in Herzliya today, all day meetings with the big wigs, and the Big Chief is over from Cyprus so that will be another bottle of whisky for our collection.

I thought I did quite well to display them in my lush favourite jug

Yesterday I had two neighbours at my door, first was Ruthie and she bought be a beautiful bunch on flowers for a welcoming gift, and was very distressed when she realised she had taken me from my bed, next was Ury and his we dog Pluto, Ury is a pharmacist and offered help in the medication line, he said he would return with something and he did, but the Doctor said I needed antibiotics as the Food Poisoning was quite severe, so Ury's help was much appreciated as was the Lovely plant he had bought for us, again a welcoming gift from himself and Mrs Ury.

My Beloved arrived and having spent the previous 30 mins with nausea, I decided to change company, nausea needing booting out for food, so we took ourselves up the road for some lovely soup from Giraffe, it was the only place I could think of that would give me the kind of soup I needed, broth - not the Scottish kind, the other type that has floating bits and lots of juice that I could sip on. Oh it was lush, and it was just what the doctor ordered.

We popped around to the Crowne Plaza to see Natalie, and deliver a few gifts to the different departments as a thank you for looking after us, when we walked back up the road to the apartment, I said 'this is so slow' My Beloved replied 'this is a romantic walk' my reply was 'this is torture.
