New goal. We leave Friday. After Chris and Madie came back for the day to finish a few tasks at the house, Chris decided that I needed to go back to the doctor and stay another few days. With a tropical storm brewing in the gulf, it was just better to hang at home, go see the doctor one more time, and let the storm decide what she was going to do.
The doctor said that if it is mold causing my breathing issues it would be another week at least. If it is mono causing my issues, then it will be another 3 weeks. Yuck. She did give me some cough medicine to help slow down the coughing, but there is no magic pill. I just have to tough this illness out.
So mom is sick which included a trip to the ER. Ben started off the trip ill. We have a storm brewing in the gulf very early in the hurricane season. Our family is split into two homesteads. The truck had an incident. The sheriff has pulled over two members of our family (not me!). Luckily no tickets. Our newest driver hit a curb and blew out a tire. We had a phone get dropped in the gulf. I’m trying not to start thinking that our sabbatical is jinxed. But OMG, I feel like all of the signs are there! Or maybe we are just getting all of the bad stuff out of the way. Yeah. I’m sure that’s it.
I think that the storm will pass us. Chris said that the tide was really high today. It came all of the way up to the dunes. Madie decided to hang out with me in Conroe. I think most importantly she decided that she and Ainsley in the same house without mom to buffer would be a death wish for one of them.
So I have to keep trying to sit here and be still. It.is.so.hard. So here’s hoping for a better day tomorrow so I can head back to the beach house on Friday.
p.s. And I pray that I’m not allergic to the beach house.
