Ugg.

Michael brought back some bug with him from the states. Itchy throat, runny nose. He was sick Wednesday and Thursday and seems to be completely better today. Yesterday at about 4 I swallowed and it hurt and I thought, oh no, not me too. As much as I tried to convince myself I wasn't sick my body had a different idea and as the day moved on, I felt worse. I crashed early last night. My body feels fine, it's just my throat is killing me and I have a bit of a stuffy nose! Drinking OJ this morning felt like I was swallowing nails. At least I am not achy or feverish. It's quite rare that Michael and I are both sick with completely different tings. Hopefully he will not catch this and I won't also catch whatever he had. I will say one of the only really bad things about living abroad is being sick. That is because we can't get the same kinds of medicines here and when we can, we just aren't familiar with them. We stocked up on things like Thera Flu, Clariton, Nitequil, Vicks, etc. but there is always something we could use and don't have. A bottle of chloraseptic would have been nice to be able to run out and get, but we just can't. We generally don't get sick that often. The first time we lived here though we both got what I think was the flu twice along with several other little colds here and there. This time, Michael has already been sick twice and this is my first. I think it has something to do with being exposed to a bunch of "Euro-germs" that are bodies aren't immune to yet.

Keep your fingers crossed for us that we are back to 100% by Monday when Mary and Jason get here!!! That's only a few days away and we are SOOOO excited to have our first visitors.
