Persistent Cough

Once again we enter another week without much excitement. It did snow overnight which is always welcomed by me. And although I usually love to watch the white stuff fall, I didn't really need to be awake to watch it from 1am to somewhere around 4am. Alas, I had another rough night dealing with this little sickness that hit me last week. I was sure we were going to get away with no germies in the house this winter. So close . . . ! I am feeling better since this started last Tuesday, but I have this persistent cough that the doctor told me I can expect to have for another "week or so." Gee, thanks doc. Hopefully that's not the case. Leo will most certainly make me start sleeping in the new "guest suite" upstairs. Or he will have to move his butt up there himself. Either way, I don't think I can take this for another week, let alone another day. My stomach muscles are so sore now and I'm sure even BT is getting tired of the constant disruption and I could have sworn I cracked a rib for a while. The doc assures me though that it's not hurting him and that time will heal all that ales me.

As for Leo he is healthy and the most wonderful partner I could ask for right now. He helped with cleaning this weekend, has done an extra trip or two to the store to get any allowed drugs I can get my hands on, and has been super supportive during my midnight breakdowns. He wears the daddy-to-be hat proudly and he does an excellent job of supporting us and making us comfy and healthy already. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I am so darn lucky!

Tonight we expect cold weather (around 16 degrees!) so the snow should stick around at least another day or so before we rise to 70+ by the weekend. We figure by then my cold will be long gone as well and we can open the windows and doors and welcome the change. (Hint, hint, BT - you hear me? Warm weather this weekend! Wanna come out and play?!)

By the way . . . anyone have a good home remedy for a cough?
