The architect sent me some pics of progress on the house. The walls are higher and some electrical and plumbing work has been done. I am really anxious to get back over there, it makes me nervous not to be around when all this is going on.

But, until today I really didn't feel well enough to even try and organize myself to go. Mimi saved me! Really! She figured it out. She went online and found all of the problems I'm having listed as side effects of the antibiotic I was taking, Bactrin Septra, which is a sulfa drug. Insomnia, lethargy, arrhythmia, difficulty breathing, depression... about the only thing I didn't have were hallucinations. I'm pretty sure the dolphin talking to me on the deck was real.

I'd finished 5 days in a row of it and the cough is pretty much gone so I stopped taking it yesterday. Last night was the first night I've slept normally in a week. What a joy. I feel really good today, rested and alert. I'm telling ya, Mimi saved me! I have to remember now that sulpha drugs and I don't mix well.

We're off to Playa soon to pay the car registration, get Chica's thyroid pills, and stop at a couple of RV beaches along the way to visit some friends. Tonight is the eclipse, don't forget. We may actually hit the road tomorrow for Merida. I'm so happy to feel better I can't describe it. I was getting a little scared, probably part of that was the insomnia and the arrhythmia. I'm taking the chest xray with me to Merida and I'll go in and get a full check up and let that doctor read it.

Glad to hear you have isolated the problem -- and are doing better.

And thanks for the reminder on the lunar eclipse. It starts in 3 minutes. Unfortunately, it will not come over the horizon for us until another 10 minutes.

I am on my way out the door.

If you stop in Paaumul and see Susie and Rick, say hey to them. They may meet us in Merida in December and you may meet them then

I was lucky enough to go with Jonna and Mimi to see the house.It is awesome! The ceilings are extra tall, the rooms large and the floors lovely.
When they bought the house, they didn't know that I live within walking distance, so they are doomed to having me drop in and visit.
regards,
Theresa

Had I known that Theresa, I would have paid more for the house! I'm so happy we are going to be living in a city and within walking distance of so much.
