Still recovering from weekend illness. Saturday's sore throat and cough was largely gone by Sunday morning only to be replaced by a fever, lethargy, nausea and sore joints. Just slept much of the day. Felt quite a bit better this morning, but generally weak as I haven't been able to eat much of anything since Saturday. Saw the doctor this morning for a general checkup. My pulse was way up (67), but my blood pressure looked good (102/70). Did blood work and will decide where to go from there. I should be back to running tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about the illness. Hope you get feeling better quickly!

I know it sounds like a greeting card, but I've never wished it more sincerely, "Get well soon!"

Thanks, guys! Still not up to running yet, but holding out hope for tomorrow.

How are you doing? I haven't seen any blog entries for a few days. Are you still planning on Spectrum next week? How's that bathroom coming along?

From Kerry on Thu, Mar 06, 2008 at 13:09:37

Yes, I'm definitely planning on Spectrum next week even though I haven't been able to run this week. Most of the time I feel pretty good, but even mild exertion brings on a coughing fit. There isn't so much fluid in my lungs today, so I'm hoping to start back tomorrow. It's been a bit frustrating. The bathroom is about half way done, but I should have enough time Friday evening and Saturday morning to finish (except for some of the trim). It doesn't look like I can take the 14th off :(

I'm glad you're still planning on Spectrum. It will be fun.

Don't worry about not getting the 14th off. We'll just leave as soon as we can after work. Besides, my daughter is in a ballroom dance competition at BYU on Friday and Saturday (repeating performances I've already seen). We don't know times yet, but if her Friday performance is early enough I may be able to catch it before we head south.

Good luck with the bathroom work. (That could sound a little funny if taken out of context.) :)
