After arriving in Phoenix yesterday afternoon we moved into our room at the hotel and then went looking for walmart. I was in desparate need of sinus headache medicine. I have a horrible head cold, congestion and a headache. (I swear some higher being is playing with me trying to see how complicated they can make this house hunting adventure.) I look as if I have the plague. Red watery eyes, red nose, hacking cough and I can’t stop sneezing. We didn’t find walmart but we did run into a shopping center with target, barnes and noble, bed and bath, pets smart, best buy, linens and things and about a dozen other stores. We went shopping for sinus medicine at Target (By the way, the Target pharmacist was really nice and helpful. She jumped out from behind that counter the moment she saw the condition I was in and started pointing out the good drugs)
After purchasing my needed drugs we went to eat dinner at a chineese restaraunt. (I don’t think they appreciated me standing over their buffet. Hey, I tried not to sneeze or cough directly over the food. 🙂 )
After dinner we went looking at houses, really the neighborhoods the houses were in. Scoping out areas of interest.
This morning we are going to go to breakfast and then to the base housing office where we hope to learn about areas we should stay away from when looking for a rental. We will also get a list of houses that are for rent that the base recommends as being reliable and safe. I’m hoping my state of health doesn’t sway someone from renting to us. Would you want the plague to move into your neighborhood? 🙂
Marsha
PS: I need a new nose. The one I have is sore.
Hang in there Marsha, it must be so miserable for you to be *house hunting* when you are so under the weather.
I am just plain *cranky* today- too many days, and long hours covering for a co-workers time off.
So let me get this right.
You’ve got red eyes, probably a puffy face, a red nose and your sniffing all the time in between your watery eyes, you’ve bneen to the chemist, and you’re looking for a house.
So to sum up.
1. You’re looking like a druggy.
2. You brought a heap of drugs.
3. Your now on those drugs.
4. Your approaching Real Estates looking like a druggy (on drugs)
5. and you’re trying to avoid ‘drug areas’ in you house hunting
(whilst on drugs, looking like a druggy!)
All I can say is I hope you start feeling much better soon Marsha.
Get well soon
regards Aaron
