The results of the tests came back negative, so YAY, not one of us had whooping cough thank goodness!! The Dr said I actually had a sinus infection, so I was prescribed antibiotics. Today, after finishing my course of meds yesterday, I went back to the Dr as I was still unwell. This time I got to see my usual Dr, and she said for sinus infections she prefers a full 10 day course of antibiotics, so she prescribed some more. So, in another 5 days, I should hopefully be feeling MUCH better!
Of course, because things are always going on at the same time in my house, little Miss G is having her tonsils and adenoids out next Tuesday - 5 sleeps she tells me! (She is excited and counting down - and has already requested helium balloons that say "Get Well Soon"!).
I am planning to spend tomorrow laying low again and rest some more, and then come Saturday, I shall be cooking up a storm to fill my freezer with food in case I don't get a whole lot of time to cook next week... Most kids seem to be fine within a few days of their tonsillectomies, but I'd rather be prepared and have plenty of food on hand!
Something that has been floating around in my mind for around a few weeks now is buying a bike and riding... I think low-impact exercise is better for my body, and I used to love the feeling of flying through air when I used to ride to school as a teenager. I don't need anything too flash, and where I live is VERY flat, so I'm thinking a nice simple single speed bike would be perfect. This is the bike I'm currently coveting!!

I'm behind on blogs thanks to illness myself but glad to hear youand the girls are feeling better T. I am still loving bike riding when I can - where you live would be perfect for it though - no traffic, trams and chaos! Could you bike to the shops? A basket is a definite necessity!!!!
Aww Tam I hope you are feeling better too - its horrible being sick in Summer :(
Its 9kms into the local shops, so roughly a 20km round trip - all very flat bar one long but gentle rise - I can't imagine doing my fortnightly grocery shop on my bike, but I can see me ducking to the Post Office, bank, or library, or even going to the Saturday morning Farmer's Markets on my bike :)
It's only 3kms to the girls school though, so once they can ride without trainer wheels (the road is dirt, and their training wheels would get stuck in the corrugations LOL), I could see us riding to school too.
