News from the sick ward

So remember how I mentioned that Jess caught some sort of bug over the weekend? Well guess who has it now, yes, that's right. Me. Both of us, technically, which is rough, because we'll be feeling better or worse as the day goes on and it's hard to tell which one of us needs to be taking care of the other. Neither of us has eaten much. I haven't eaten anything more substantial than toast in the past day and a half. Jess thought she might be able to make it into work today, but she woke up feeling crummy, so no dice.

The contractors are here, though, which I guess is both a good and a bad thing. We gave a house key to the 'main guy' who was supposed to be working on our house, but so far it's been a bunch of different people showing up, and so we're at home to let them in. It's just that we don't want to wake up at 8:00 AM when they show up, and they tend to be a little noisy while they work. Not too bad, though.

Anyway, the work is going well. I'll post some progressive images of all the different stages when the whole thing wraps up, but it's given me a pretty good look at what is going on behind my walls and under my floors. The shower pan isn't going to show up until Friday, unfortunately, so that means there will be a bit of a delay in everything getting done, but at least there is progress being made.

So back to being sick: we've sequestered ourselves in the guest bedroom while work is being done, and we have both the cats in here with us. I can tell I'm getting better already because I was hitting the Tylenol pretty hard yesterday and haven't even bothered to take any today, yet. Jess is still in a pretty bad way: she's been coughing a lot and said she felt dizzy this morning. She's asleep now, and all cuddled up with the kitties, but I may take her in to see a doctor if she doesn't get better soon.

Cheers,
