August 16th, 2007 - The effect of sickness
A) About two weeks ago, we were told that to help Jedi’s allergies calm down, we should keep him indoors in the AC. Unfortunately for us, that meant changing things, as we’ve rarely had the AC on! We’ve had it on almost 100% of the time since. I am not looking forward to the next electric bill. :( We’re also tired of it as we really like fresh air and open windows!
B) At the end of last week, Eric and I came down with strep throat (and possibly other bugs as we have had problems other than just a sore throat). Today, I think I can say I’m all better (well, 98% as sometimes my throat is sore, especially at night and I sleep funny). He’s still not feeling well. I found it has been much easier to turn lights on, AC up, TV on, etc., when not feeling well. The effort to live without these things is much more difficult to find when one’s body isn’t up to par. Not to mention things like veggies sitting in the garden waiting to be picked (or in the fridge waiting to be processed).
