100th Post!!!

I'm still sick. Not quite as wretched as before, but still pretty bad. I have asthma so I have to be careful about things like the flu turning into pneumonia. Since my inhaler was getting low and my asthma getting worse I figured I better go to the clinic and get checked out. Hahaha.....I'm so dumb. I should have gone to the ER after hours like I was originally planning on doing...it would have saved me the hassle. The good news it I don't have pneumonia, the bad new is I had to spend almost 6 hours at the clinic to find this out. If I had gone to the ER early this morning I could have been seen and gotten my inhaler in probably less than 2 hours. I felt like Typhoid Mary sitting in the waiting room infecting the whole Northwest Arctic with my disease. The place was plum full of elders and babies, just the sort of folks you don't want marinating in my Flu germs.

Anyway...as I signed into blogger I saw that this was to be my 100th post. Wow. Whoever would have thought that I would stick to blogging that long. So, in honor of my 100th post I have decided to do the 100 Things About Me thingie.
