My first blog......scary!
I am currently praying my tonsils will reduce to normal size! It just figures that 4 days before my "move" to Australia I realize my tonsils are starting to close my throat (see picture). I have had tonsil problems in the past and usually the doctor gives me an antibiotic and they shrink down eventually. So I went to the Doc, they take some blood, give me a cortizone shot, yada yada. The next day they call to inform me that I have MONO. Come along...I cannot have mono at a time like this. When my life is about to start. When I am about to travel 22+ hours to a new country. However, I am not really tired, I do not think I have full on mono. But now that I have "mono" I have used it as an excuse to sleep in and take naps, etc. But truly nothing out of the ordinary, I am doing just fine getting through the day. So I think to myself, I can do mono for a bit in Australia...but these tonsils have got to go down. The doc gives me the usual antibiotics, yet these tonsils are not shrinking very fast. Now that I am on a time crunch, this tonsil situation needs taken care of asap. I cannot go to Australia and a few days later realize I can barely breathe/swallow/talk and need a tonsillectomy!
Oh did I mention, the airports are canceling flights left and right as this is the snowiest time since the 1800's. I have never seen so much snow. Brett hasn't gone to school the whole week. I bet his XBOX is about to blow up. Anyways,
This brings me back to the phrase "everything happens for a reason". I am just going to have to go with the flow. Maybe my departure date will have to be pushed back, either due to my tonsils, or the ridiculous weather. This damn global warming...I blame it all on Al Gore. But i'll get to Australia, maybe on the 15th as planned, or maybe a little later. Either way, I cannot wait!
