I feel 130% better than yesterday. Woke up this am with barely a cough, the sore throat decreased to a slight nag and no ear ache! No need for antibiotics after all. Life is sweet again.

Or at least, until I started going through the licensing paperwork again so that I can become a RealDoc™. I started working on it back in April, got overwhelmed by the amount of paperwork and let it sit and mold. Oops. Paperwork is still there, and now there’s all the pressure to get it done and get it done now. It’s so confusing, so expensive (I’m out $1000, just looking at the application), and the amount of stuff that I need notarized is crazy. I guess it’s good that I have to go through this, to prevent any Joe Blow from pretending that he’s a physician, but ugh. I have to have it all done by December, and it take “30-60 days for processing” which, I’ve already learned the hard way, is Wisconsin 60 days: 60 days plus 30 days to decide if we need to audit and 10 more days to tell you that we’ve audited and 30 days to audit and another 30 to tell you that we’re done auditing and 3-4 weeks for shipping (stupid Wisconsin Tax Revenue. Still waiting for my tax refund here). So that doesn’t leave me with a lot of time.

Off to the grocery store. I’m finally feeling up to making all of my Indian and Thai food so I need to get the rest of the ingredients. Ta!

Thanks again to all for the good, healthy wishes!
