Two bits of reason we need all your positive karmic thinking.

Thing 1) Mera and I are STILL SICK. This is unbelievable. I can't remember being sick like this. Ever. The latest turn in the flu maze is that we no longer can see our heart beat in our eyes. The headache is easing. The body aches are almost gone. This would be great except sometime during the our snot turned green and filled with blood. BLOOD. Unf*ing believable. Infected and bleeding sinuses? This is the flu? Also, an intense burning pain started somewhere between the left ear and the roof of the mouth. Mera says it's in the roof of her mouth but in my case it really feels closer to the ear. I suspect it's originating somewhere in the sinus cavity. The pain radiates in both cases down the back of the throat. Absolutely nothing relieves this pain.

To make matters worse, DrC clearly contracted the virus. He says, "I don't have it as bad as you do." What he forgets is that this wasn't as bad when it started. It just gets progressively worse each day. We can't afford for him to be sick so keep your fingers crossed.

Thing 2) Our real estate dude may have found us a tenant. I'm almost reluctant to hope. But omigod that would be frickin awesome. So please send warm fuzzy Lease LTTM thoughts to a furniture guy in Burien who is looking for more space. He wants THE WHOLE BUILDING all 7200 sq ft and he wants it for the long haul (e.g. 3 years). It could not be better which is what makes me nervous. We need this. We really really need this. While we made the decision to go no matter what, it's the difference between going with no safety net and going with some money left over even if we stay out till Jaime goes to college.

So we need your good vibes. Laureen is teaching me the positive woohoo factor of good karmic thinking. Multiple it people. We need to be healthy and we need Mr. Furniture Guy.
