Good morning. Just took the last dose of the two antibiotics I've been on. YAY!!!!! Maybe now my gut can calm down a bit. The phone started ringing at 7:30 this morning with recorded messages to get to the polls or vote on certain issues (5 calls in the past hour and 15 minutes). So I decided to get up, showered and dressed.

It's a better day. I can tell already. The morning routine and breakfast and I'm not so wiped out that I have to go back to bed. Dave is coming home from a breakfast meeting around an hour from now and we will go and vote. Will take the wheelchair in case the lines are long and I need to rest but will hope not to need it.

Blessings to all of you on your day and I promise to take it easy and try not to slip backwards.

OH! Another milestone! I actually can wear a bra today with the shingles having cleared! Feel almost human again.
