For the first time in weeks I actually slept through the night and woke up to an alarm. Amazing. Of course now I feel rushed which I haven't felt in a while. I still have 2 hours and 20 minutes until the start of class but for whatever reason I feel like there's not enough time.

Went to the doctor yesterday. Kind of pissed off about it and really don't like insurance. I would say I don't like doctor's but there's nothing the doctor can do about the prices because of insurance companies. I woke up yesterday with massive pain in both ears sweating like crazy. I went online and made an appointment at the same place B has been going. I managed to get a 4pm appointment which is crazy to me. Same day appointments at a doctor is just weird. But I wasn't going to complain.

I managed to teach all day even though a couple of times I had to just stop talking because I felt like I was going to pass out. I got through class and we finished around 2. After class we went to Target before hand because B needed some stuff for her trip and to kill time before my appointment. Got into the doctor's at 3:30 and sat until 3:50. Not a bad wait and technically they saw me early.

Bottom line according to the doctor is I have a cold coming on and instead of waiting to the last minute like I usually do, I was catching it early. Hopefully by doing so I will reduce the symptoms and healing time. Unfortunately since it's just a damn cold (aka virus vs bacterial) there wasn't much they could do for me. That part sucked. They did give me some numbing drops for my ears which helped, but I am still sweating and still having pain. I am also at the point where my left ear is about to close up on me. I hate this part.

We watched some TV, played some video games, and I went to bed around 10:15. Today I have a two day class starting with 5 people. I should have a couple of packages coming today too. Some memory for my media server is the big one. I realized the stupid thing only has 2gb of memory in it the other day when I was playing around with Plex. I couldn't figure out why it was taking so long to do some things. For $40 I was able to pick up two memory chips to at least take it to 4gb. Unfortunately due to the age of that machine, that's the max I can put in it. But even that will help. I remember when 2gb was a lot of memory. Now I can barely function on it. My laptop has 16gb and some days that even pisses me off.

Time to shower and get ready for class. Two more days of teaching, packing, then off to three crazy weeks on the road.
