Days 13 & 14? Good eats!

Day 13: I had a sore throat most of the day. In the evening a friend of mine and I went to a local restaurant called "The Noodle Bowl" which not only has some damn delicious food, but great service and I at this point consider the owners family. They are very amazing people. So, for the first time in two weeks, I ate pho, with beef flank, and it was so fantastic. I had the happiest grin on my face :3 And I ate ALL of it.

Day 14: I had a job interview this morning at 9am. My husband woke at 5am with chills and a temperature of 99. I decided if the fever went up he wasn't going to work. So 7:15am rolled around, I had him check his temperature again and it had risen to 101. I decided he was going to stay home from work and I demanded it in all seriousness considering he has a bad habit of going to work when he doesn't feel well. He did take me to my interview, which went well, and slept in the car for 20 minutes. When we got home, checked temp again, and it had dropped a little.

On the way home he had thanked me for basically telling him he had no choice in the matter, and I explained that if I had called my friend, John, to take me I'd have also taken the car keys. So in reality, he had only one option anyway and that was to stay home like I said.

While he napped another friend came by to spend some time with me, which was fun! We started watching the travel channel which was going on about hotdogs. The cravings hit! Since neither of us drive and my husband was required by me to sleep and rest, we took an awesome walk to a small grocery store about 12 blocks up. This was the first LONG walk I've had, and it was fantastic. Not to mention my throat was doing pretty great without percocet since 5am. We picked up some sausage dogs, came back home, ate and watched tv while we chit-chatted.

Eventually Greg got up and I have him check his temperature frequently to see where he's at. We're uncertain whether he's having withdrawal from the percocet or what, but if it doesn't clear up by tomorrow he's going to the doctor. I made him rest and drink water all day, so that's probably helped.

At this point I can talk pretty well for a decent period of time with little soreness, but, this evening I am having a constant sore throat which of course is just wearing me out. It's not bad, in fact it's really minor, kind of like having a dull headache.

I couldn't really figure out what to fix for dinner especially after two failed attempts with spaghetti (the goat cheese went bad :C ), the clam chowder wouldn't cool down after even a freakin hour, so I am eating oatmeal.


Basically I'm at the end of my two weeks and doing fantastic.
