Feeling Better

Yes, I am feeling better. After a long weekend and a day off work, I'm doing much better. Still congested, but it has started to flow and I still have a few coughing spells, but I'm out of the body and head ache stage, so that is a blessing! I've been taking a little cocktail of Mucinex (a wonderful invention) and Advil. Maybe it's not the best, but it sure made me feel better and I actually slept last night without waking up with "cotton mouth" and cracked lips! Yippee!! Hopefully, Brandon doesn't come down with this. He got a flu shot, so he should be in the clear!

We've had our first "Oh Crap" moment with our house. If you recall, I posted last week about our oven malfunctioning and nothing was baking. Well, the service repairman came yesterday and low and behold, the oven is not heating properly. The temperature swings between 30 and 80 degrees of the desired temp. So, if you're wanting to cook something at 350, it could be cooking at 270 or 430 (in extreme cases). Most likely the problem is occurring in the circuit board of the oven and it would cost $300 just to fix it. On top of that, our self-cleaning function is not working and that would cost $250 to fix. So, you do the math.... Needless to say, we have to buy a new oven! And wouldn't you know, we didn't renew the insurance that is supposed to cover this "stuff that comes with the house". I guess it's a good thing Sears has good sales :)

And one more thing... I just have to say, "Thank goodness for girl scouts!"! We have been enjoying our Peanut Butter Patties and Thin Mint cookies all weekend! In fact, I just had a PB Pattie with my lunch :) I love this time of year!!
