WHO is this??

So, this week things have been a little weird. Things are happening, and it scares me a little, but in a good way..let me explain.

I have had a cold, or horrible allergies, or whatever for a few weeks now.. the inside of my nose is so swollen, that I was actually begging the doctor I worked with the other day to inject my turbinates (the little bony dealies in the back part of the nose that help to warm and humidify the air we breathe in... and also are the bane of my existance becasue mine are SO SWOLLEN!!!!) with steroid in order to reduce the freakin' swelling!!  Instead, I'm on prednisone, and Allegra D and Zyrtec. And, I'm feeling better.

"Damn you, puffy turbinates!!"

BUT, as a side effect to the Allegra D and the prednisone, I am WIRED!!!! I am wide-eyed and bushy tailed at 5 AM, ready to get moving and get things done. I'm not complaining, mind you, I'm just not used to that. I am a lazy starter by nature. But for the last few days, I am up, showered, coffee made, dressed and out the door to work nearly 45 minutes early! I think it's freaking my co-workers out too.

Also, I got paid this week... and I have a bit of a history with spending money right after the check hits the bank, and then remembering that I have bills too pay AFTER I spend too much money and have to freak out trying to pay a little here and a little there to keep the lights and the water on. This week, I got paid, and I paid my bills, and although I don't have much money to work with for the next two weeks, my bills are paid, and I really kind of feel good about it. Totally not like me...

"Here, take all my money.."

So, WHO is this? Who is taking over my body? She seems to be much more on the ball that the old me. Maybe I can hang on to it, keep up the flow, so to speak... as one of my favorite bloggers, Hyperbole and a Half, would say, "PAY ALL THE THINGS" and keep getting to work on time. Who knows? A girl can dream...
