Finally!

FP and I finally both are feeling better. All traces of flu, pneumonia, and salmonella are gone, with a few left over symptoms of my sinus infection. It was pretty nasty here for a while, but our house is totally disinfected, and the laundry is all clean.

Here was the schedule for last week, while we were both so miserable:

1. Wake-up in a sweaty, delusional state. Change sheets on bed because of disgusting feverish sweating all night.
2. Try to eat a few saltines so that taking 20 million pills would not upset stomach too much.
3. Shower to try to clear sinuses. Yeah right.
4. Go back to bed and sleep for 3 to 4 hours.
5. More sweating.
6. Try to eat some more. It really didn't work.
7. Watch some HORRIBLE television. I mean, what the hell? Why is daytime t.v. so bad? Get some movies On Demand. Even though you think you are going to love Brideshead Revisted, it is totally about religion and not the Gatsby-ish movie you thought it would be.
8. try to eat to take more pills.
9. Take a bath to ease aches and try to get ready for bed.
10. Lie on couch and be miserable.
11. Drag self to bed. Repeat sweating.

So, it was an awesome week here, complete also with vomit, which really made things even better. I missed the huge reaccreditation that my school went through, though I did show up on Thursday morning with my 101 fever to teach my lesson for the reaccreditation team. I can't even remember it, but I was told I did a great job, and then my boss sent me home because, as she put it, I was "dead."

But, we are so much better, and I was actually psyched to go back to work today. I missed being in the land of the living! And, this weekend, we are going away to celebrate our two-year anniversary!!!!! I can't even believe it, I really can't. And honestly, being married just gets better everyday for me, so if almost two-years is this wonderful, how great will 52 be? I just hope we don't get the flu at the same time again, because arguing about what to watch when you both have high fevers and can barely even get two words out is NOT FUN.

Hey congrats on two years! Woo-hoo! You can celebrate by not being sick, how exciting. According to this http://www.findgift.com/Anniversary-Table/ You should now take a trip to China.
