I spent a quiet morning mostly lounging in bed, but after lunch I was all action! I stopped by work/school to let them know I was still alive, and sporting a lovely whiskey-voice. Then I went to do some grocery-shopping and experienced the only “uh, oh, maybe this is a little too much too quickly?”-feelingRead more
Today I can claim to have become fully fever-free (oral temps 36.5°C), whereas last night I probably still had a few ‘commas’ (oral temps 37.1°C). I slept for good chunks of the day, and I didn’t really wake up until 4pm when the alarm went off to remind me to take my pills (taking pillsRead more
This is just a little note to let the world know that I DO NOT HAVE A FEVER TONIGHT!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Yes, this is the first evening since Friday May 6th that I DO NOT HAVE A FEVER!!!! Shall we count how many consecutive fever-filled evenings that was then… EIGHT! Yes, for 8 consecutiveRead more
So my doctor just called, and he told me that the blood draw, my symptoms (illness not confined to the chest, but also in the head), and the bug’s apparent apathy towards penicillin indicated that I did indeed have the ‘other’ kind of pneumonia, the so called ‘mycoplasma pneumonia‘, sometimes called ‘walking pneumonia’ because ‘patientsRead more
I meant to blog last night, but when the time came, my ibuprofen wore off and the fever (oral: 38.2°C/100.8°F, which probably really means 38.7°C/101.7°F) and chills returned with a vengeance. So I lay down for a night of fitful sleep, where my coughing woke me up periodically, and my throat and ears were sore. This wasRead more
… not. Yup, this has been a yet another iteration of ‘Hrefna stays in bed all day’. Am I feeling better? It’s hard to say. I feel slightly more energetic, even had the energy to bring the big camera and a whole usb cable to bed and upload some pictures onto my trusty and veryRead more
Sooo… being on Day Five of my illness, and seemingly not getting any better on any front, and possibly getting worse if anything, I called the health clinic this morning and made an appointment with my General Practitioner (GP = heimilislæknir or ‘home-doctor’). Why wait until Day Five? Well, it’s been my experience, with child-patientsRead more
The luxury service regarding Bjarki continued today. Finnur’s sister showed up early this morning to take him into daycare, and at the end of the day, Finnur’s mom (just back from a weekend trip) picked him up, stopped by our place to pick up some clothing supplies and drop of some food supplies, and thenRead more
I’m blogging so that I can stop composing a blog post in my head, and just go to bed. Yes, that’s supposed to sort of rhyme. The current family status is that I’m pretty darn sick (flu-virus probably), Bjarki is sleeping soundly in his bed, and Anna and Finnur are in California. Whhhhaaaaat? CALIFORNIA?!?! Yes,Read more
We were invited to an Easter-feast in Reykjavik on Sunday, so we drove back home on the Saturday after a most splendid stay. We can’t wait to get back! 🙂
We had a small Easter-egg hunt in the morning. We'd gotten the kids some small chocolate eggs, and they mostly devoured them that morning. Here is Þóra in the foreground helping the others find their eggs.
