Both have sinus infections, both coughing, both tired, both working, not seeing much of each other. It's been a lonely week and since we have been sleeping apart, there hasn't been much cuddling either.

Sleeping apart is a good thing, though, because even by ourselves, we've both been waking up at night. Today, we both went to the doctor, though and we are both on antibiotics now, so maybe we are on the road to recovery now.

Doc said DH was on the verge of getting bronchitis. I know I have some bad coughing spells at times, so I wonder if the same was true of me. WE both got sick at the same time and are pretty sure it's the same thing! LOL!

I'm so glad that tomorrow, I have off and can enjoy running around with my kids, since they don't have school. I got extra hours this week, because a co-worker's husband unexpectedly needed a heart cath and bypass surgery. The money will look good on my paycheck, but it's been a busy time.

Yesterday, I got sent home early, because I just looked so miserable. DH has just been working through his illness.

Anyway, that's life at our house. I bought new toothbrushes for DH and I, so we don't reinfect ourselves!

Goodness, I hope you both are feeling better, soon! Glad you have tomorrow off.

Take care, and feel better!

Dh and I sleep apart when we're sick, too. That way, if one is able to get to sleep, the other isn't keeping them up with everything. But you're right...it gets lonely! I hope you recover soon... sounds like you're taking care of yourselves (get some Clorox wipes, too!).

Feel better soon, Dawn! I used to get sinus infections/bronchitis 2 or 3 times a year a number of years ago. It makes you feel SO bad! Good idea about the new toothbrushes. I used to do that when the kids would have strep, or when I got really sick. No point in re-introducing those germs!

Take care of you!

Yuck DH and I sleep apart when we are sick too, lol. We have one bedroom that we use as the sick bedroom. The sick person stays in that room. Then we strip everything out and wash it up.

Oh gosh I'm sorry, I hope you 2 feel better soon. I just got over bronchitis and a double ear infection ontop of my allergies flaring so I know its not fun.

I think I feel better today. I feel a little bit more, like myself. It was nice to sleep in this morning.
