Cate's Diary

Thanks, M2M. I'm glad I went to the doctor too as I swear I am starting to improve already. I had a high temp again last night & woke up drenched again, drank a 700 ml bottle of water, went straight back to sleep & woke with a slightly clearer head. It's an improvement. It's chilly again today & G just re-lit the fire. 4 weeks from now we are well & truly winging our way to Greece. I want to feel 100%.
 
Such good news that you are starting to get better!! I agree with LaMa - so happy the medicine is kicking in and helping!!!

I hope your son takes the accident as a wake up call, and so glad he and the other driver are ok. That's pretty amazing and wonderful!!

Indeed. This exact medicine has cured many of my chest infections. I'm very grateful.

Thanks, Marsia. Today I started to actually look forward to our holiday. I felt my brain was functioning again. The fever has obviously been affecting me badly. I actually did some stuff today :)
Our GS got his drivers licence!!! Yay!!!
 
Nice you have your brain back - so good to be able to think optimistically again and to be on the mend!! You are going to have an amazing vacation - hope you have many hours of happy anticipation. :)

Glad your GS got his license. I bet he'll have a great time with all that new freedom, plus you won't have to drive him to work. I loved when I first got my car and drove around Boston getting constantly lost, but so happy and free!
 
Congratulations on the license! That´s going to be a load off both your minds. Also: glad you´re feeling better, of course :)
 
Thanks, Marsia. My brain is coming back slowly, but it sure does feel good to start feeling more optimistic. I don't feel ready for our trip, but usually, I overthink everything, take duplicates, overpack (not really- usually about 15kg) & just pack, repack etc, Maybe this time I won't.
I hope A is more sensible than a lot of his friends. Their FB posts are encouraging him to race. I'm sure he's got more brains than that.
Thanks, LaMa. It does ease the load for us. The driving in to pick him up from work was only going to get harder in Winter. He may join the Air Force as he's been talking about doing that for a long time. It wouldn't hurt him to get away & expand his horizons. He's a lovely boy & I wouldn't like to see him get stuck in a small town rut.
G & I aren't up to much but we are going to take him down another load of wood this morning. We won't be cutting any, just getting it from our wood piles.
 
Yes, it could have :blush5:
The absolute inactivity of the last 2 weeks we have both found so incredibly frustrating. I think we both feel like we'll go crazy if we don't get well soon.
We also went for a 45 minute walk around the block. I know!
I never said I was smart :)
Edit: Just had a shower & washed my hair & feel the best I have all day.

It's wonderful you are both feeling stir crazy enough to get out on walks and wood gathering expeditions. Just remember that if you overdo it when you are first feeling better you may relapse a little. I agree with LaMa - you guys together egg each other on and forget to take it easy!!
 
Been back to the doc & had vaccines for holiday. Got some Eoros, had flu shots, getting ears syringed next week. Getting organised.
I am so going to take it easy until we go away. I promise I'll be careful, Marsia & LaMa xo
 
Today I actually started to anticipate our holiday. I must be starting to get better. We had the kids overnight last night & all day today. Last night was a struggle as E, once again, reeked of perfume.
We took them to the beach today & had a delightful day. It was a really lovely day. I loved seeing the kids being kids!
 
Yay for getting better, boo for perfume. Stick E in the shower next time!!! That crap isn't good for him, either!
 
Thanks, Marsia & LaMa.
I am really getting better each day now & am feeling much more positive again.
Our GD, E got another long talk from her nan about perfume & what it does to me. She would have gone off and had a shower when she got here when I reacted to her perfume but it was on her clothes & she didn't have any clean ones until her father brought them. I had a good talk to her yesterday again about it. They are meant to be here for the day next Friday & then again 2 weeks later. I can't afford another reaction. I'll maybe tell D I can't have them at the end of the month as I don't want to risk it.
They really did have such a good time yesterday, climbing rocks & exploring rock pools. We all did. G & I really could move down there. We're considering it.
Today we are going to tackle a little housecleaning. It has been neglected lately. I have been sick for 11 days.
