We just finished another week in Texas. Weather started out cold at first then beautiful in the 70's then freezing Thursday and Friday!! What weather here. They say that if you every want the weather to change - just wait a minute...LOL. It never stays the same here.
There has been a huge rash of flu cases here - so many in fact they have closed down some schools in the area. Luckily not Isaac's.
Something crazy happened this week though. I live in an apartment complex that is pretty old - it was built in like the 50's or something. Well, me and my friend Amy always to to keep up on the latest things happening in the area and you wont believe what I found out. Actually, I didn't believe it until I read it. I checked in the local paper on the Internet and found an article that was written on 02/01/07. It says that are building was tested for Legionnaires Disease and tested POSITIVE. I did not think anything about it at first - they said it caused flu like symptoms. So I figured well it was another thing to watch for living in an old building. Then I read some more. It can be FATAL. Then I started freaking out. Because Isaac was just really sick and had all the symptoms they listed in the article.
I printed it out and called the Health Department the next morning and spoke to the man that tests the complexes and wrote the article. He set my mind at ease by what he told me though. He said the chance of getting it in the winter was slim to none, because the cooling tower is only used in the summer. I felt better about that - then I started talking to him about the problems we have had here as far as leaks and things not being repaired promptly and or properly. He is sending a man out next week to test our place for mold, dust in the vents and cracks and stuff. He said if it is not up to code they will give the landlord until a certain date to get it fixed. So, I guess one of two things will happen next week either I will find out my apartment is OK or I will find out what needs to be fixed. Then I will not have to argue with them anymore about fixing things. He will have to do it. So, thank God for reading the paper - LOL.
I will let you know more about that later. I went grocery shopping and stocked up. So we don't really have to leave this weekend. Although we probably will anyway.
OK - I will touch base later.
