So... I went up to Madison to get this weird pimple gone wild on my cheek looked at. Long story short, it's an infected pimple, so he drained it and prescribed generic antibiotics. I'm pretty sure he said for 5 days. I drive back to AH, pick up my prescription and it is full (to the brim) of pills; way more than I think I need. However, the pills are pretty large (my mom started turning green when she saw them), and both the prescription on the bottle and online said 10 days. So maybe I heard wrong or he misspoke...etc. So I've been on the pills for a couple days and they aren't dissapearing as fast as I'd expect, so I count them and I had pills for 15 days! I've heard pharmacies shorting pills, but I don't know of any that give you 50% more than you need. So I'm not taking those extra ones, but it's still really strange.

In unrelated news, due to the HBO series coming soon, I read A Game of Thrones. It was decent, but the death at the end made it a downer, and I can see the plot getting way too complicated before long. Maybe I'll try again after Martin finishes the series--or I'll just watch on TV.

Hoping for news next week. Unlikely, however.

Has been barely above freezing for the past couple days and will continue for a few more before we get back to normal temps. (I'm not asking for 60s, at this point, I'll take upper 40s.)
