Nov. 8th, 2009 09:29 pmWe are back and i have the lurgy. I've had a cough but no other symptoms for weeks but it's finally decided to whack me with the sick stick. The cough has tightened up again and i have a fever. Don't know how much because i can't find my thermometer but yes i feel lousy. Am calling the doctor tomorrow and hoping i can get in with one of them at the practice. This could put a damper on the rest of the week but if i need medication, that should sort it out. The week in Montreal was great, but the cough seemed to get worse as the week went on. I blamed dry air in the hotel room. It wasn't until Saturday night that i started feeling chilled and i figured i had a fever then. It's so frustrating and disappointing that i get sick while Graham is here!!! Thankfully i wasn't sick while we were away but even so....
So... we met up with my friends Katherine and Keith on Thursday. Had lunch at Dunn's deli for a fix of Montreal smoked meat NOM! We did a bit of shopping on St. Catherine Street from there and then back to the hotel suite for coffee. They'd left their little dog in the suite so couldn't stay away too long and indeed the doggie was itching to get out for a wee when we got back. I forget now where we had dinner that night, it's in my book but i don't have it handy. We did get to the Keg the night before and had a really nice meal. Friday, an internet aquaintance of Graham's drove over from Quebec City. In the morning, Graham and i had gone to a lovely little museum by the Montreal City Hall that was a "chateau" and set up with rooms and artifacts that traced the history of the city through to the end of the 19th century. When Karine arrived, we had a lovely afternoon. We did head to a nice restaurant recommended by the concierge but it turned out to be only open at lunch, until 2 and it was just after that. We went across the way to a pub instead and chilled out there for the afternoon and came back to the suite to have the wine she'd brought us. She promised us she wasn't going to drive back and was going to stay at her Dad's overnight.
Saturday was check out day and my cousin Brian picked us up about noon. We went to brunch with his wife Ven and their two kids, one a 6 week old infant! Spent a couple of hours at their house catching up and then Bri took us to the airport. The flight was delayed a bit because the crew was being cleared through customs from a US flight but the flight was fine and we got the rental car ok too. Because i wasn't feeling well even then, it was off to the drugstore for supplies and here i am. bleurgh.
