Been Away From Here
I hadn’t realized how much time had passed since I did my last entry. Besides being busy with other things, I’ve been having a bout of bronchitis that I still haven’t shaken off yet. If you’ve read some of my previous entries you’ll know that I’m not a big fan of the medical profession, but the one thing I will accept as far as meds, will be antibiotics…or at least the penicillin type. My experiences with the non-penicillin type hasn’t been too stellar. I remember one time many years ago, my doctor prescribed Zithromax, and it was a one a day type antibiotic and about 400 mgs. but must have been a potent dose, since about 20-minutes after taking it, I really regretted it. Needless to say, I asked my doctor to switch the medication.
Well, it’s October…can you believe it? Where o where has this year gone to anyway? And as usual, at this time of the year when there’s a real chill in the air, my landlord hasn’t provided heat yet and it’s darn cold in my apartment. It doesn’t do any good to complain to him. Technically speaking by law, here in the NYC area if the temperature falls below a certain point heat is supposed to be provided by October 1st, but it seems our landlord for the building has his own agenda and never provides it until after October 15th. And yes, we complain each and every year at this time when it’s cold and we need heat but still he never provides heat. So this chill in the apartment doesn’t help with my getting over my bronchitis.
