Turning Around the Struggle Bus

by Megan on February 9, 2012

For the past few weeks, I have been walking around in a pretty foul mood.  Along with my bum ankle, I came down with a nasty cough last week and was just generally not loving life.

On Monday, after a particularly challenging night spent coughing up a storm, I decided to pay a visit to the doctor.

The doctor diagnosed me with bronchitis and sent me home with a prescription for high powered cough syrup.

She should have just told me that this stuff was liquid gold. After one night of taking this stuff my cough was gone and I was primed for a good night’s sleep.  It is amazing how much better a solid 9 hours of uninterrupted shut eye will make you feel (especially after spending most of the previous weekend not sleeping at all).

My ankle is still not really any better.  I thought that things were moving along – but, after a trip to the gym last night, it swollen again and generally hurts.  On the upside, I have been able to get out and walk Gracie this week.  Getting some fresh air and a little exercise (albeit it not very strenuous) has done wonders for my mood.

But mostly, I am still totally amped up about this:

The Duke/UNC game last night was one for the ages.  When Austin River’s shot went in to win the game, I was so full of adrenaline that I could have done cartwheels across my house, bad ankle and all.

And that, my friends, is why I love college basketball.  Go Duke!

I notice our cough syrup bottles look exactly the same!

Nice! I hope that it had the same magic healing powers for you as it did for me.
