Hacking Coughs and New Houses

I was pretty sick in the first week of March, and stayed home from work for a day. Ever since then, I’ve had a pretty terrible hacking cough. Today I went to the doctor because I was getting irritated and concerned. Turns out I have walking pneumonia. I first told my doc (who I really like) that he was full of it because people who have pneumonia have to go to the hospital and are on their death bed, and I only had a cough. He explained further that it just means I have an infection of the lungs. I am now on two antibiotics, steroids, and some purple powder substance I have to inhale for the next two weeks. I have to go back for a check up, and if I haven’t improved, then I get to go in for a chest x-ray. I’m just ready and waiting for the cough to go away.

When we got home today from work, we had a message on the answering machine. Our lot was FINALLY released for sale! Wow. We talked to the builder 3 weeks ago and heard that our lot was going to be delayed until May. But I guess they sped things up. We go in tomorrow to sign our paperwork. They probably will not start construction until June, but still…progress. Our floorplan is called the Silverleaf.

We had another showing scheduled on Monday. Once again Austin raced home and tidied up and vacuumed and our place looked amazing. He booby-trapped the door, and what do you know, NO ONE SHOWED UP. What the hell. They called 2 hours before they wanted to come see it to schedule the showing and then they don’t show up? I just don’t get it.

I had a great birthday weekend. Friday night (birthday eve) I was treated to a dinner at a new restaurant called the Bonefish. It’s a fish place, and quite tasty. Saturday night, a group of us went to the ChopHouse, an upscale steakhouse in downtown Denver. Very tasty, although boy was I stuffed. Sunday night, we went over to the in-laws for an Easter egg hunt, and then dinner. Delish!
