Azithromycin as Spirit Animal

I broke down yesterday and called my Doctor for a prescription of Antibiotics.

My four month long cough was just not going away. I was dreading calling the Doctors office because I really just don't want them to find anything else wrong with me... (I know it's crazy thinking)...

Last night I started on a course of Azithromycin and I am already getting a productive cough! I have never been so excited about something like this. It just sucks to not feel quite right.. this is just the tip of the iceberg... Cough going away, boobs getting re-imaged, shrink appointment, and running up stairs. I've also determined that I'm going to cut back on my caffeine consumption. I think it's been upsetting my tummy a bit too much. I know it will be hard, but I'm going to try it and see if it helps.

Another thing I've been doing is making some drawings... just little ones.. but it's making me feel better.

This is one that I did for an online art thing called Telephone. It is a translation of another persons work of art. I'm not usually confident in my abilities but I'm going to put it out there anyway. In the past I've often used the act of drawing little circles to calm myself down when I'm stressed out. I don't know why I didn't think about doing it sooner.

I'm satisfied with how it turned out... I am going to keep making them and see where it goes.

Last night I finished the Gifts of Imperfection by Brene' Brown. In it she talks about the Guideposts that wholehearted people practice. One of them is cultivating creativity... I had forgotten about the affect that creating things has on me. I feel all warm and fuzzy. Feeling warm and fuzzy is good.

I'm thinking I will be alright. I knew that I would be, but lately I'm actually almost convinced of the fact.

yay.
