44 days and going strong

i still have the sore throat, but at least i now know i am not crazy. i went to the ear nose and throat doctor today. he was the same one that took the fish bone out when i was 8 week pregnant with sirus. since i had a history with him i ficured it might be nice to go see him since the normal doctor i had already seen twice suggested i go see a specialist. well, the ear nose throat doctor seemed bored with my case, but he gave me nasal spray, said it looked like some chronic tonsilitus and if its not better in 10 days give him a call back. he did though say the glands are still enlarged, there is still residue in my throat and i am having some ustacian malfunction or something of that sort. i went on to tell him about my right ear hearing issue and he suggested i go to a hearing doctor, cuz ya know, sometimes apparently when you lose hearing in one ear and not the other it can be caused by a tumor in there, but really its not big deal and i should only go if it really bothers me. what is that?? yeah, and if i have to go back in 10 days he'll talk to me about taking out the tonsils. sweet. not sure how i feel about all of this. lets hope it goes away after i squirt steriods up my scnoz for 10 days.
i didn't get into the sf women's marathon that allows men to enter and race. that bums me out a little, but yeah, since everyone else was doing the1/2 anyway, i guess it might be for the best. maybe i will do the ghetto version and run the 13.1 on that day at home and still get my tiffany's necklace mailed to me.
i entered seamus in her first triathlon. its may 31 after my 2nd triathlon of the season. yikes! i asked sirus if he would like to do a triathlon to which he replied "nnnnope" but then i asked him if he would like to come watch he said "yyyyyup".
i had every intention of riding my bike home from work yesterday. so much so that i got onto the bike and 2 miles into the ride when i got hit by a total hail storm. so i turned around, packed it up and drove home. i felt a little wimpy. so today i ran on the treadmill for 7 miles. there has been weird drama in the gym at work, and my 7 miles was more of me being stubborn then actually wanting to run for an hour looking at the parking lot. the best part of it though was when the construction guys came driving by in their truck, slowed way down and all turned and watched as they drove past. the guy in the back seat was even craning his neck backwards after they had passed. did they not realize that i could see them? eric says they don't care. but i was wearing my new short shorts which i am thinking i like. they felt like they had become possibly obscene duringt he jaunt but in fact they did not and they were in perfect place, so i was pretty happy about that.
work is exhausting and it won't likely get better until september.
but i get to go to berkely next week for LUNA chix so that is exciting. and then on the 15th something exciting might happen! stay tuned for an update!
