Well the past three days have not been the most fun that we've had here in Cuenca. Mike got up Sunday morning and was feeling a little under the weather but we took a walk to the Supermaxi anyway; Sunday seems to be grocery shopping day as Supermaxi is pretty much the only thing open here on a Sunday. We did our shopping in record quick time since there were no long lines like last week during Carnaval, and then took a taxi back to the apartment. By this time Mike was no longer feeling just a little under the weather but more like he was buried under ten feet of snow. The cold from last week came back with a vengance, and brought his friend the stomach bug with him; at least I hope it's just a bug. He spent the afternoon in bed trying to sleep in between taking trips to the bathroom (TMI??)
Sunday night was the worst night I've spent with Mike ever I think as he just culd not stop coughing; every time I'd get clost to falling asleep he'd have another bout. i know he couldn't help it but it was really annoying, and also a little amusing as when he coughed he made a kind of rasping wheezy noise - I know it's not nice to laugh at the invalid.
Yesterday we didn't/couldn't go anywhere so we just hung out. I sat out in the garden with the residnet puppy for a while and read as it was much quieter out there than in our apartment. Mike sat out too for a little while until Angelica had cleaned the apartment and then he went into bed and spent most of the day there.
Today has been more of the same with a little less coughing and fewer trips to the loo - I think he might be on the mend. We didn't go to our Spanish lesson this morning and I know Mikes really sick as he hasn't eaten since Sunday, nor has he had any coffee. I can't remember the last time Mike went three whole days without coffee, heck I can't rememeber him missing one day.

Mike: Ugh! Double Ugh!
