Planning tomorrow today. Truck acting up (it alternately doesn't want to start and then pretends to overheat....computer problems, most likely) and maybe it IS heat teasing with it, but is a necessary excuse to not get out and about on Monday. Glad of that. Since one son and I visited our sick elderly neighbor in the hospital yesterday, we'll have to send our regrets about not visiting tomorrow. Apparently the doctors are saying he has diverticulitis, but has a leaky heart valve as well. In his nineties, none of this is a surprise, but still....concerning.
Think I'll get the kids' schoolwork together tomorrow morning that'll cover the whole week. Usually we do a day-to-day schedule, but with more cleaning staring me in the face, it'd be nice to set them loose to do their work alone. Besides, youngest son has a HUGE pile of drawing books he's drooling over and it'd be fun for him to have more time. He's so great about getting his school tasks finished quickly---this could work to an advantage for all of us. Stay at home to putter and self-taught kids. I'm liking the sound of that.
Thankful that we have healing kids as well. Got smacked with more sickness over the past few days, and wondering if the fifth disease struck again, but until the rash hits after the cold symptoms, you just don't know. But today is good. Everyone seems better.
And I'm in a relaxed frame of mind. Feeling a bit of calm in my head and looking forward to The Amazing Race finale and Sherlock tonight. And I wish you could see the twinkle in Gary's eyes about not having to go to FedEx tomorrow night. The fun husband is back. Goodness, we've missed him!
