They’ve got Elijah on antibiotics and a cough syrup. Me, I’m on antibiotics, some Mucinex stuff, a nasal spray (but I’m bad and haven’t been doing that one), and something new called Xyzal. That one is a daily thing that I guess I’m getting a prescription for (he gave me samples). He says it’s stronger than stuff like Claritan and what not (it had better be considering that you need a prescription and the price of this stuff). He gave me a discount card for it and I called and my insurance does cover most of it so I should end up (if all goes well) close to getting it for free half the time, spending $15-20 a month the other half. Provided it works, that is. We’ll see.

We’re both doing better though. Of course, Elijah never really acted sick other than taking a nap the other day. My voice is still crud, and I’m coughing a lot more now, though. But there’s no pressure in my head anymore and I don’t feel like puking all the time. The two of us actually got out today to take some pictures and what not. Mostly we drove around, but we got some sun, too.

The new dehumidifier is working out great and maybe that’s helping, too. In just short of 24 hours, I already had to empty it. I don’t think its tank is any smaller than the old one, it’s just gotten pretty damp down there in between normal stuff and all the rain we’ve been getting. This evening Steve said it was almost full again, so I’ll have to check on it when I do some laundry here in a sec.

Anyway, more to come later.

I know, it’s crazy to be excited about things like that, hmm? We’ve had the same dehumidifier since we got married and even then, we bought it at a yard sale for $10. The lady said it was broke and Steve figured he could fix it. Even funnier was that he didn’t have to fix anything, it worked fine for us for 8 years. Early last week, we heard strange noises that I thought was rain outside. Nope, it was the dehumidifier. Steve unplugged it and we’ve been without since. I am thinking that between that, all the rain we’ve been getting, and other things, is how me and Elijah got sick this week. So on his way home yesterday, Steve bought a new one. I just took it downstairs all by myself and got it running and, boy, is it quiet compared to the old one! So, yeah, w00t. This is almost as exciting as when we got a deep freezer a year and a half ago, ha.

But with that said, I forgot what else I had to say.
