Cough cough cough
|
Guess what? Yup, we're still sick! Things are going along about the same... maybe the symptoms are worse but we're settling into the routine of endless vomiting and laundry so it's a little better in a sense. Unfortunately the Momma of the house is getting worse. It's settling into my chest now and it's terrible at night when I try to sleep. Once I get to sleep it doesn't wake me, so that's something. About the same for the kids, I guess. Within a half hour of putting them to bed we have one or two vomiting (and Farra, though not vomiting, is still up coughing) but once it's over they sleep the night through. Seth coughs and sputters more during the day than anyone else. And though we're all up late with this, I don't get to sleep in like the kids do because of the goaties! (And forget napping. It takes a couple hours to get to sleep with this tickly throat and by the time that's passed I have to get up!) Bobby had mercy on me this morning and did chores so I could get an extra couple hours sleep (I begged him). Chores are remarkably easier now that we've weaned the baby goats. Bobby's back to work tomorrow, at least for a day or two. I'm hoping Kelly will officially lay him off after that so he can collect unemployment until the next out of town job in a few weeks. Usually, though, he gives him a few odd hours of work here and there. Praying about it. The Lord knows. Not much else going on. Bobby wanted to get out today so we did a little letterboxing. Kept it to short trails to not over-do our bacteria-fighting bods. The weather is beautiful since the humidity dropped some and it was nice to be out. Of course, that meant that the house didn't get cleaned and only half my garden got weeded this morning and I got the cauliflower and broccoli in and frozen but didn't harvest any more calendula or get to those green beans... and the pool we started filling this morning is only half full of water and we still haven't found that leak in it... But there's always tomorrow, right? You know, while Bobby's working... I sure miss the fellowship. I miss being in a room full of believers all signing praise, encouraging and admonishing one another... doing what the body does... But people are calling and writing email and letting us know we're not forgotten. Looks like we're out of the loop for at least another month, if Blue doesn't get sick. Deep breath... (cough cough) we can do this! ... With His help alone. |
