Well, first of all, we are not sick anymore. In case you have children, or even if you don't, here is some advice that may or may not have been instrumental in helping Grant back to his normal self: If the virus is gone, but you still have symptoms, try unpasteurized yogurt to re-introduce what might have been forced out of the system. Dr. Sievers was kind and sent me an email and eased my mind about the doctor. She says they would probably tell me that it was a virus, and to wait it out. Which is the truth. It was just a virus. It was my dad who suggested the yogurt.
I've been babysitting this week, too. The kids just left, and I had them Monday and Tuesday, too. I'm saving up for Christmas, and for the company I'm having this month and next. Tomorrow, I'm going to take Abbie to the pumpkin patch in Wright City. Grant went on his school field trip there last week on one of the days we thought he wasn't sick anymore.
I have a new phone. It was kind of an ordeal. I'm not meant to have fancy phones, I think. We needed them because now that Josh works for Pinkerton Security, he is eligible for the Boeing Spring discount, which would actually cost less than our Wal-Mart re-chargeable ones. Except that our phones weren't Sprint phones, so we replaced them. And now I have a strange little phone. I want to keep my old text message sound. It goes, "Took, took, took!" But I don't know if I can. And Josh's new phone has my other phone's ring, but mine doesn't. At least I still have the same phone number.
I'm making a music CD for my Uncle Pete. It's a fun project, and I hope he likes it. I also have to re-start the taiko J-Fest photo project today, too. I've started it several times, but kept having problems. Now that Eddie has fixed all the problems, I just need to get it done. I also need to go to the grocery store, do LOTS of laundry...and about a hundred other things.
Did I mention that we finished reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone? We've started on The Hobbit. Fun. Slow going, though. Little kids require lots of explaining, but it shows that they are paying attention, and that they are interested. I'm not reading anything else at present. I read 5 of Gran's Agatha Christies and am taking a break.
I talked to Brother on the phone, and today he is getting his roof fixed. If they get done today, he's leaving tomorrow to come to Missouri. Eek! My house isn't clean.
Tonight is taiko. We have been working on looking interested in what we are doing. You know...I think the people who are going to improve in that area have officially been informed of its benefits and need little more than occasional reminders. The others aren't going to do any better no matter how you attempt to entice them. I'm going to gloss over the staring at people tactic by saying it wasn't my favorite. A difficulty with this topic, for me, anyway, is that the songs we've been practicing our happy faces on are really kind of no-brainers. What we need to do is find out what face to make on songs that are neither happy nor angry. How do I know what an intense face looks like on me? I'm not really so intense. We're also learning new songs, and teaching new parts of old songs. I played Tenchi all the way through without throwing anyone off. Yay!
Just thinking....I really wish we could see what we look like while we're playing.
I still haven't made my hash brown soup. I'm waiting for the perfect weather. Last night Josh brought home Chinese food. He was off flying a helicopter. He's considering taking classes toward certification. The only hang up is that we found out that it isn't covered by his GI Bill. Why not?? Anyway, he had a great time, I think.
Grant needs a dentist appointment, and Abbie and I need haircut appointments. Grant and Josh had theirs cut last weekend. Thank goodness! Grant was so shaggy, he was almost stylish!
Well, I need to get ready to go to Wal-mart, or I won't get dinner done in time to leave for taiko tonight. I hope that you are happy today. I also hope that you are not sick. I don't want anyone to be sick. I want you to be happy and healthy.
