Well, I thought on Tuesday that everything was getting back to normal. Matthew was feeling better, and ate some "normal" food and got his homework done. I did laundry, caught up a lot on music preparation for chimes and also sunday school admin stuff. I also got the grocery shopping done. Yay! I baked a cake and two batches of brownies for soup supper on Wednesday. I was ready for whatever happened.....
Then this morning, it happened. Matthew had a reoccurance of the flu symptoms.. Poor guy, he was already to go to school. He was supposed to play in the JV Band at the band festival and work in the theater tonight. Disappointments. I had to make some arrangements before I went to work all day. I got home around 430 and cut the brownies and cake and took them to church for soup supper, picked up Mary from her friends house and then back to church for lenten service and choir practices.
As for now, Matthew is doing pretty well. Feels a little yucky. I hope he feels well enough to go to school tomorrow. He is quite the trooper, got all his homework done, including a paper about paintball. Mary is healthy so far, still cold all the time.. Thyroid tests are normal. She wears lots of layers. We are anxiously waiting for the bitter cold temps to stay away until the fall.
Tomorrow, I am going to Holland. Sarah's computer lost the 'n' key, and Dell sent her a new keyboard to install to her laptop. They had to send it to me overnight, no PO box deliveries. So I am going over there tomorrow to deliver the keyboard along with snacks, a voter's card and lunch off campus! She is looking forward to some fast food. Can't dilly dally too much, she has class at 2. Then tomorrow night is a choir concert.
Friday Brandon, his dad and the 3 of us are driving together to Ann Arbor to visit Uof M. Jeff will be meeting us there for the tour. Brandon will be attending there in the fall and made some appointments. It should make for a nice day. Friday night is a lock in at church, but Mary and Matt have to be at school at 0715 on Saturday for choir festival. The bus brings them back at one in the afternoon. I am thinking I might drive to the festival and have a listen.
I guess I am pretty busy. Still looking for a hospital job without success, in the meantime working on contentment and patience. Feeling pretty good these days and am smiling more and more. It helps when the sun shines!
Glad to have Jeff back at the end of the week. Better get to bed.
