What is going on?

Illness update!

I feel fine now but I still have this cough and it's not getting better.

But Steve is sick yet again! About 5 weeks ago, he got a really bad cold, the week after that he was feeling better but still had a nagging cough (just like where I am now). I bugged him to go to the doctor because with the cough, his cold had lasted more than 2 weeks and you know Mom's 2 week rule (my cold is about a week and a half so I still have some time). But he didn't go until the 3rd week, when he suddenly started feeling sick again. The doctor said he had a chest infection and prescribed him antibiotics. But he finished the antibiotics a week ago so now it's the 5th week and he still has a little bit of a cough and yesterday, suddenly had a sharp pain in his throat. Since it was a game night, the team doctor was there and told Steve his lymph nodes are swollen and his throat is "red raw" - he instructed to see his GP on monday and get a swab of his throat done so that is the plan.

Hopefully, I don't continue to follow Steve's pattern.

We were supposed to babysit Aoife tonight but I don't think that's going to happen. I feel okay but the last thing I want is to give this horrible cold to little Aoife!

As for the game, we lost horribly but I think I got some good pictures, I haven't gone through them yet.

Still sick!

Well, our water came back on around 4pm Friday but I haven't posted about it because I've been sick all weekend. I'm feeling better than I did on Friday but today, I have no voice. Fun stuff.

The building management say there still needs to be repairs done on the pipes but they did not say they'd be shutting off the water again. I have a sneeky suspicion they will though. After all, the ceiling in our hallway where the elevators are has been leaking water all weekend - that can't be a good sign. There's 4 buckets out there to catch it but it's already ruined the carpet and stained the ceiling so I'm sure that will all have to be replaced once the water is finally fixed. There is a lovely damp smell in the hallway, luckily it hasn't reached inside the apartment. Oh, and did I mention we can't use the trash shoot on our floor for some reason? We have to go up to floor six. What a mess this has all caused.
