My asthma has been slowly but steadily disimproving, I switched to a new inhaler a couple of months ago because it was already not great but it's gotten worse than before. My Doctor thinks that it's a postnasal drip aggravating the asthma not the asthma itself that's getting worse. Possibly triggered by allergens. So I'm on sick time for a few days just to get a bit better, the cough is really quite unpleasant and last night was not great. I think the inhaler is starting to help or maybe it's the new nasal spray. They had better because between them they cost €80. Ultimately that doesn't matter since together Kate and my Medication hits the maximum for a family at €114 and we have a med card so we only pay up to that much per month. I think the sick time was very necessary because I spent most of the day spontaneously napping.

The good news is that I took a Covid test just in case and that's negative.

It's been a weird week, as Biden's win got clearer and clearer everyone's shoulders descended a bit. We are still on lockdown but not a strictly as the first one, or perhaps people aren't taking it as seriously. The numbers are mostly going down though not below 200 and they edge up every other day as well. The government astonishingly hasn't been doing detailed contact tracing which they are starting now so we will actually know what's causing the rise in figures and not just speculating. The most promising new vaccine is on the way though not without it's problems, it has to be stored at minus 70 degrees C. We've avoided the infection up to now, fingers crossed we continue to do so.

Kate's school continues to underwhelm with their strange fixation on the uniform, the kids are freezing with all the windows open and they are having lunch outside but gods forbid someone wears a pair of thermals that aren't the school colours. You've got to really wonder about their priorities, it's certainly not the kids. In addition, we are on lockdown and there are no green tights to be had locally so I had to order some good ones on line which will take a couple of weeks, they are just going to have to deal. I can't wait for Kate to be shut of this place.
