Mercy! I haven't updated for over a week! It has been a horrible week for our tribe. My monkey ended up being very sick. He spent the entire week in bed and in pain. I finally convinced him to go to the doctor on Tuesday. By Friday he was a lot worse and the doctor he went to didn't seem to concerned about him going through the weekend like that. So Saturday morning he finally agreed to go to the ER. I guess when you wake up with a fever of 102F and your feet are no longer just red and swollen, but are also black and blue and you still don't know why...you tend to be more cooperative about the whole needing medical attention thing. Thankfully, the ER doctor and nurse were pleasant and seemed to actually want to help. By Sunday night he could actually walk around for a few minutes at a time. He is now going on day three of steroids, antibiotics, and pain medication. They still have no idea what is wrong with him though. That isn't very comforting. He went to work this morning. He probably shouldn't have. I hope he is okay. I have a feeling that he won't come home even if he is too sick to stay there :(

I am going to be spring cleaning this week. I have visitors coming from Indiana this coming weekend and I am just now freaking out about the way the apartment looks. It is pretty trashed because of the events of the week. Everything could use a good scrubbing and airing out. So I am off to tackle that. I am estimating that it will take me the whole week to get this place in tip top shape. The idea of cleaning ALL week blows though.
