Caroline&#8217;s appetite seems to be pretty much back to normal. She is still sniffing and not quite normal temperature but she is much better than she was even yesterday so the antibiotics seem to be doing their job. I am not coughing as much and the cough is now sounding productive rather than life threatening so I am tentatively thinking that I am getting better too. I do know that for the first time in a while, my brain does not seem locked in a permanent fog.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was kind of quiet which was good. Peter and Ariel went to see a play in the city called &#8220;The Number 14&#8221; by the Axis Theater Company from Canada. They picked this play because Kristian Ayre was in the show and Peter had cast Kristian in &#8220;Space Cases&#8221;. Peter and Ariel had lunch with Kristian and his girlfriend after the show and caught up on lots of news.<\/p>\n<p>Caroline and I settled in and watched &#8220;Nightmare before Christmas&#8221; at Caroline&#8217;s request. We then switch to Gumby cartoon and Caroline took a much needed nap. Peter and I went out to dinner just the two of us to spend a little time together and reconnect considering all the stuff that has been going on in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Today I plan to get some stuff done that has been on hold since I got sick. Then I&#8217;ll sort out what the rest of the month looks like. Wednesday is paper recycling and we have a bit that we need to get ready to recycle.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful that Peter and Ariel went to see Kristian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slowly Caroline and I are returning to the ways of normal people.
