A household of....sick...

We've all been to the doctors, and we're all on antibiotics. Fun. I have a cough (mostly cured now thanks to the meds) that won't let up. Mom has bronchitis, and the kids both have ear infections.
Needless to say, there's been lots of temper tantrums in our house...and not just by the kids. The kids are both starting to feel better; fortunately they like their meds and so we don't have to fight to get them to take it. They've had more energy in the last couple days, and have been happier and less prone to random fit throwing. They should be ready to return to daycare on Monday.
As for me, I'm feeling much better. I'm still coughing, but not nearly as much. I missed a couple days of work, which concerns me. Ultimately, I'm glad I did though. Not sure I'd be feeling better if I hadn't. I have a doctors note to cover it, so I think I should be good. Its nice not having to mute a customer every sentence so I can have a coughing fit. Its also nice not to be up until 2 am hacking up a lung. I'm sure Pookah appreciates the sleep too.
Now, I must clean the house on my days off. Its suffered due to a lack of any real desire to attempt to keep up with it. I also have to catch up on my writing. Fuzzy head feeling because of illness isn't exactly condusive to writing.
I've been slack in updating because work's been on the busy side. By the time it dies down in the afternoon, I'm just tired and too fuzzy headed to try. When I get home, I have other things on my mind and end up forgetting to do it.
I still owe a post about interesting developments, and I'll get to that. Again, its hard to compose that kind of post when your phone doesn't stop ringing.
