What else could happen??!!

After the sump pump mess, we had to get our furnaced 'fixed.' There has been some issue as to whether it was the thermostat or the furnance since the end of Oct. Long story short, we have not had consistent heat in this house since the end of Oct. The last straw was it took me 8hrs to get the heat back on at 2:30am and the house was freezing since the temps has been dropping. We had it fixed (luckily easy fix) & now we've been up & running for almost 2 weeks now with consistent heat.

Pete gave me a sore throat so I ended up at my doctors office & was diagnosed with strep throat about 2 weeks ago. Then I had to go see my endocrinologists only to find out I gained 4 more pounds since September. My test results come in tomorrow or beginning of next week. After I was diagnosed with strep throat 2 weeks ago, Pete broke out in his awful hideous rash that basically covers his whole body. He went his doctor who brushed him off with a 'its a viral thing, it'll go away.' It didn't go away and it got WORSE, but most rashes tend to get worse nefore it gets better! Imagine having to work and interview people with red spots all over your face, neck, hands, arms & not to mention it covers his entire torso, most of his back and spread to his feet & behind his knees. His doc barely looked at him & told him to just lotion up. Today, I sent Pete to my doctor who diagnosed him immediately with GUTTAKE Psoriasis which can be caused by the strep virus. Since I had strep throat & he probably had a strand of it (since he had the soret hroat before I did), this was the likely casue. He is finally on antibiotics which should help and hopefully he will clear up totally within a month. I have psoriasis (since I was 16yrs old) and I told him now he should understand what I go through. Sometimes I have very bad flareups and sometimes I have nothing. When you live with a condition like that, its hard to explain to others how it feels. Luckily, my flareups are in the normal places (elbows, some on my back & legs) and this GUTTAKE looks FAR worse. I dare anyone to take a look on Google, its pretty bad, I do feel so bad for him!

Other than that, busy with the kids schedule and trying to keep us all healthy!
