This week's update

Well, I just finished reading Beth and Tony's latest blog posts about their flu illnesses this week. Adriana has been sick this week with strep throat and perhaps a cold or flu bug, I'm not sure which. She woke up Tuesday morning with a sore throat but otherwise okay it seemed. Tuesday night she complained alot about her throat and also ran a fever. She and I spent all day Wednesday cuddling in her bed and watching the full first season of The Waltons. I have season 1 and 2 on DVD. I would give her medicine every 4-6 hours or so as the fever would come back. She just wanted to cuddle and drink water all day and night. On Thursday I called the doctor about the pimple she has had on her cheek for almost three months now. She saw the doctor twice 3 weeks ago and was on antibiotics. The pimple had gotten better but still wasn't gone, so the doctor wanted to see us that day. We went in and they checked her cheek and also did a throat culture because of her sore throat. Came back positive for Strep. Now she is on another antibiotic for her strep and also her cheek. She spent all day yesterday on the couch watching season 2 of The Waltons. Today she woke up feeling better (no sore throat) but she still has the cough and drippy nose. But she felt good enough to go over to Grammy and Grampa's for the day and night. She and Grammy have plans for dying Easter eggs and making Easter crafts. She's going to spend the night and David and I will be heading over there tomorrow morning after I get my cafe baking done.

I stopped at the pharmacy earlier and picked up a bottle of Nyquil and Dayquil. I've got a funny feeling in my throat, an achy feeling throughout my body, and I've been sneezing all day. I'm hoping I can zap it with nonstop Dayquil and Nyquil intervels. David and the girls were sick with a flu/bad cold in February and also in January. I was fortunate both times not to get it, even though every one of our employees had been sick with it both times.

POSITIVE THINKING....I WILL NOT GET SICK...I WILL NOT GET SICK!!!

HAPPY EASTER!!!
LOVE TO YOU ALL!!!

Attack of the Blog Pirate!

I don't even know what that means.

Just got done reading Tony's new blog, so not to be outdone, I've decided to hijack Christina's blog just to say hello and give a bit of an update on the new cafe location!

First, this interesting little furball to the right is the latest addition to our little family - her name is Natassia, and she is

Sabrina's new puppy. She worked and saved up for her, and is also responsible for all monthly maintenance & service checks.

Let the record show, I didn't want a new dog...but she is pretty cute. I guess she can stay.

In other news...

At the risk of jinxing us (again!), I am happy to say that March is truly 'THE' month! We are putting in the final touches - cosmetics, equipment, staining & painting - the mundane stuff.

I picked up 'mundane' off some other guy's blog, but I digress...

Mundane, but necessary. We picked up a new pastry case with a curved glass front, because we couuldn't in good conscience spend 8 gajillion dollars on a new cafe and use the same crappy case we had next door. It looks great; maybe if I ever blog again I'll actually post a picture! We also had two freezers delivered yesterday, what a chore that turned out to be. Our Achilles heel has been the narrow entry way to the kithen, and it almost undid us yesterday. Had to brush up on my physics just to get the darn things in the door! Took about 3 hours, but we were ultimately successful. If all goes well, we can actually consider moving in...

...dare I say it...

...TWO WEEKS!

...for real.

Seriously.

It's been a long road, but we are almost there.

Gotta run, it's been fun, but Steve, Lynn & Isak are here for a visit!

God bless, hope everyone is well!
