Just so you all know, we are fully moved into our place. On Thursday the dry float was completed. I went home around 4 or 5pm and we worked on cleaning, dusting, moving furniture, rearranging, and reorganizing our lives for the next 6 hours. It was a long evening, but by the end, our place looked roughly like our place, except with nicer floors.
It's really good that we got that done on Thursday because on Friday Diana woke up feeling poorly and within an hour of my arrival on campus had already thrown up. She had a pretty bad Friday. I started feeling worse in the early afternoon and heading home just in case. By the evening I was pretty bad too, but I feel like I shouldn't complain because at my worst I was way better than Diana's medium. We had a night of aches and pains, chills and sweats, coming ups and outs. By Saturday I was substantially better, just a pounding headache at most movements and achy muscles. Diana was still reeling from it, and wasn't feeling much better until late last night, or maybe this morning really.
It was pretty miserable, but now that I'm out of it, I can honestly say this: 1) I am really glad that we got everything moved to its place and were at home when we got sick. It made things 100x better. 2) I'm glad it happened over the weekend (and that my professor was understanding about a late assignment because of it), and that I am was not in the field when it hit. I'll be flying back to South America in 2 weeks, and it would be utterly miserable to feel like that while there (especially at the bunkers with no running water and an open-faced 'outhouse').
Anyway, once things are fully put together, and we have had time to appreciate our new floors, we will show you some before and after photos. It'll look way nice.
