Tom in Ireland.....day 3

Tom is sick. I guess from the temperature change that he isn't at all used to, he has caught a cold....complete with fever. He and Rod went to the pharmacy to get some Tylenol for his fever. Guess what....no Tylenol in Ireland. The pharmacist didn't even know what Acetaminophen was. There was tons of aspirin but he can't take that because of his stomach. He asked the pharmacist what they take for fever and he said aspirin and Tom explained he can't handle that. So he gave him Paracetamol, which he looked up when he got back to the hotel and it is the Irish version of Tylenol. They also gave him something like Zyrtec for his congestion.

He just can't get over how expensive things are there. He and Rod ate at McDonald's today and their Quarter Pounder combo cost them $8 (US). The places they went to eat at night are like Ruby Tuesdays and Applebees. Normally two people can eat at Applebees for like $40. There, it was like $85 (US).

But he had a rough day because of him being sick. Otherwise things are fine.

Katie is having a hard time dealing with Tom not being here. Our alarm beeps when the door is opened. Today she was taking a nap and Brittanie's boyfriend came over and Katie heard to beep and came running out of her bedroom screaming "Daddy's home!" I feel so bad for her. She just can't understand no matter how much we explain it to her. She is miserable without Tom and she is acting out. Tonight Brittanie told her something and she told Brittanie to shut up. Brittanie said "What did you say?" Katie's answer?....."Did I stutter?" She is a mouthy one!
