Last night I slept through the night with no coughing. Today was much better. There were a few coughing fits but things are much calmer so that is good. The big test will be tomorrow as it is a super long work day.
The weather today was nice and warm, very enjoyable to be outside in!
James was in Peterborough on the weekend and is heading back now but there is an accident on the 401 at grafton so he is heading through the backroads in the rain to avoid the accident.
The nights are the most difficult I guess because everything is horizonal and that makes for more coughing. I did get a good block of sleep last night which was good.
James is going to Peterborough today and they are staying at a cottage instead of a hotel so he needs to bring more things like towels and bedding.
Yesterday I was feeling better and managed to get some of my outdoor tasks done. However in the evening it seemed that everything loosened and then there was lots of coughing and it seemed to be a step back. All the fluids are clear though, which I think is a good thing!
I had more energy today and the episodes of coughing seem to space further apart so I feel like I'm on the mend. James wasn't feeling particularly well this morning so it seems like there is a lot going around. He seems to be feeling better now though.
I made soupe for him and washed the outside of the kitchen window and used the window cleaner mop to take a first pass at getting the car clean. This was very helpful as when I do it by hand it takes a lot of dirty buckets. This time I got a lot of the dirt off first, so that was helpful.
The Halara APP on my phone randomly stopped working so I uninstalled the APP and then reinstalled it but it would no longer recognize me and kept trying to sign me in to the US version instead of the Canada one. So I contacted their help support line because I thought it was a problem on my end, but no, it was a rather major problem on their end but they did not say it like that. They could not solve the problem for me so no more Halara APP for a while!
My computer at work got a virus, so much that central IT sent me an email to let me know. I can see that my Windows defender is working to quarantine it though so I can work normally.
I also have a virus that is slowing me down. Last night there was congestion but an hour or so after I went to sleep, I think the congestion loosened so I was coughing. So I took some cough medicine and that fixed the cough but upset my stomach.
Today I wasn't very hungry but did have some chicken and leek pie. I took some crackers before I took my medicine in hopes that will help my stomach!
Out at Kim's place, I was trying to rescue frogs from a deep hole that they couldn't jump out of. And what was Kim doing? Taking a photo:
After staying up late on Sunday night, we had 4 hours of exams and 2 hours of training sessions. So left the house around 7am and was back around 8pm. I did have a lunch from freshii-rice noodles with carrots, tomatoes, corn and peanut sauce so that was good.
I have to deal with a garage door and some wasps during the rest of the week.
Our long awaited toolboxes arrived. They had such difficulty getting across the border but they finally arrived and we managed to hand out about half of them. So this is all very positive.
I also caught up on a lot of email today. Tomorrow I need to onboard the graders, drop the no shows and get everything ready for week 3!
The support workers for colleges are on strike so James was late to his class today because he was stopped by picketers.
James went to Hamilton at 6:30pm for a tournament today. At the time he left the chef's plate box had not arrived. I then forgot about it, finally found it at 9pm!
On Friday, I thought biking to work would be a challenge as it was early move in day but there were no issues at all with my biking.
On Saturday I thought it might be difficult to bike around town as it was the main move in day but again I experiences no difficulties.
Tomorrow classes begin so I may cease biking as there are too many people to dodge! Our class starts at 8:30am and I still need to get some things printed so I'll be heading in early.

Sorted out the groups with Project Managers. Still have documents to finish before Tuesday. Also still have some enrollment to do.
It was still raining this morning but when I biked it, it was mostly over. We had Project Manager training this morning and are well on the way to launch on Tuesday.
There is lots of pouring rain so I didn't have to pour liters of water on the tomatoes.
James was out watching a soccer game in the rain.
This week is a weary one as we push towards next weeks launch!
I cut back the bad dogwood
Before
I thought with all the rain the other day the tomatoes would not need much attention but they looked sad again last night so I dumped a lot of water on them and they perked up within a few hours. Will need to remember to water them daily.
I think it rained all night but then was clear in the morning and I had a cheque to drop off at Rustle so I decided to stop at No Frills on the way. It is supposed to be the cheaper sister to Loblaws but many things were the same price. There were a few things that were cheaper. The stick bread was about half the price and much better than Loblaws.
I found a crazy 350 top called Aphra
It doesn't look like a 350 top, but there you go.
I had hoped to make all the course groups today but I only ended up getting them set up. Tomorrow will be group making day.
My 2 tomato plants look visibly sad if I forget to water them but perk up pretty quickly when I do. I have received 1 tomato from them so far. It was very good.
There are 3 dogwood bushes in the backyard, 2 look fine but one looks bad. The bad one had some dead areas even before the drought, should I cut it back now?
Good dogwood
Bad dogwood
