Monday: medical offices

This morning I brought Joshua to the doctor for his well child check.  No concerns.

This afternoon I brought Isaac to urgent care right after school.  He has a broken finger.  It's the left pinky finger which overall is a pretty good bone to break.  However, it will affect rock climbing to some extent, we just don't know what that extent is yet.  I'm a bit worried about this because rock climbing is his happy place.

This evening I brought Ben to the doctor for a follow-up.  He's getting better, they reviewed medications and gave Ben ideas on what to do along with the reminder to be gentle on himself.  Full recovery will take a bit.

While I'm happy that I have the room to easily be able to help everyone, I'm also a bit over it.

Sunday: day

 We didn't go to church today.  We didn't even watch church online, but between all our coughs and stuff it just didn't seem like the best option.

Speaking of coughs, we finally did it all in a row: Ben coughed, Isaac coughed, and then I coughed.  I've been waiting for this all weekend.

I also was in charge of dinner for youth group tonight.  I'm not sure it was amazing, but there was enough.  The preparation went a bit more smoothly than I was expecting, so that was nice.

Health-wise: I'm slightly better but everyone else seems to be about the same.

Saturday: easy day

It was a pretty easy day as we all tried to get better.  Well, Joshua is still feeling ok but enjoyed extra screen time anyway.

I was feeling much better until about 8pm, when my cough came back.  Overall I'm still doing better.  Isaac and Ben are about the same.

We did manage to get the eFoil out of the dock box.  It was a family affair but went pretty quickly before that.  The weather was beautiful, so it was nice to get outside for a little bit.

Friday: tater tots

Buffalo Wild Wings no longer has tater tots.  This is a bit of a tragedy.  I love tater tots.  Recently they also discontinued the orange chicken, which was Isaac's favorite.  They still have good stuff, but at the same time I won't be as excited about getting food from there.

I have a cough/cold today.  I managed to get a lot done this morning, so much that I was even a bit surprised about it, but then this afternoon I got pretty much nothing done.  Ben is very sick.  Isaac also has a cold.  Hopefully Joshua doesn't get sick.

Wednesday:

 I made a Gatorade tower!

Tomorrow is Grey Bear's birthday, so Joshua put him in my bed for a birthday nap.

The kids, as Trojans, participated in Trunk Or Treat at church.  They hung out with the youth group, so I just dropped them off and picked them up.  It was a beautiful day for the activity, but I was also glad to just go home in the middle.

Tuesday: decorations

Tonight Joshua and I took a short walk down the road to look at some Halloween decorations.  There's one house that looks really cool at night, but I'm never driving with Joshua there when it's dark.  The weather has been holding out for us so we went today.

It was really nice.  It was a nice walk with Joshua. and nice time looking at the decorations (and there were a lot!)

Friday/Saturday

Friday was a normal mail day in a purple state: 5 pieces of mail, all from politicians.  All straight into the recycle.  (While the text/phone calls are more annoying, I feel like all this mail is so wasteful.)

I brought the kids to Peach Wave after school.  I didn't really want to go but Joshua was so, so excited about it.

Saturday Isaac was at a robotics competition all day  (7:30am-9:30pm).  Apparently the comp went much slower than normal, because the expected schedule had Isaac finish at 7pm.  Joshua and I went to watch for a few hours in the afternoon - Isaac's team made it to the semi-finals.  We had a fun time watching.  Isaac wasn't feeling great after eating a very late dinner, but said it was good otherwise.  He wasn't very talkative on the way home.
