Thursday

Dave had to take the day off today because I had to go to bed yesterday afternoon. High fever, chills, body aches, vomiting and diarrhea, sore throat and dizziness. I am up this morning feeling slightly better, although I still have the high fever. I am very hungry, which is probably a good sign and not quite as dizzy! I hope I am better, and Dave and Jonathan are not sick by tomorrow night, because I really wanted to take the kids trick or treating and we were supposed to go over to my Mom's and cook dinner and eat together.
So! At least Anna seems better today. Her eyes both look good. And she does not have a fever anymore. She seemed back to her spunky self this morning. So hopefully... everything will get back to normal soon. I am really hoping that we have contained the eye infection to just Anna. But it can take up to a week to develop, so we may be looking at weeks of gooey eye!
Oh, some good news: Samsung is going to deliver our new TV shortly! We bought the TV for last Christmas. It had some major problems in the early spring and they basically had to replace all the electronics (I don't know what I am talking about, but I think that's what happened). I think at that point they had spent so much money paying the repair shop, they should have just given us a new TV then.
So then the TV was relatively okay, but during TS Fay, it developed a new glitch: turning itself off spontaneously! So Samsung had the TV repair shop come and take it away. It's been at the shop since August! They kept ordering the part, then the part would be on backorder, back and forth, back and forth. We figured they were just letting the time pass until the warranty expires. But then we got a call that they had declared it unfixable! We are going to get a newer, bigger, nicer, MORE EXPENSIVE TV since they stopped making our old lemon of a TV. Hopefully, this will be the end of our over a year-long TV saga. It all started back when we dropped our old Sony screen down on the floor when we were doing our laminate flooring in the living room. The TV still worked, but it had purplish-green discoloration at the top two corners. Luckily, we did not throw it out because we've plugged it back in and have been using it the last month or so.
