Liz went to get tested for the virus this morning because she was worried she might have it. She did not. Madeline came at ten to watch Luke so Liz and I both napped in the apartment. She felt pretty bad and I felt just a little off. After rising we went for a late lunch at Panera Bread in Spring Hill. The food took a while so they gave it to us for free. We took a long, scenic route home, where Luke was waiting for us. Liz rested some more and I took the mower to Kubota, then did some computer work until Madeline left. We built more towers and he went outside some with Liz. He is taking a bath now and I will probably put him to bed.

Luke went to bed without issue last night, but woke up about 1:15 with a fever and throwing up. He was kind of freaked out, but calmed down when we set up a mattress in his room so that Liz could sleep in there with him. This morning he was doing much better and seemed pretty normal other than a slight fever. We went to the farmers market, but Luke and I drove in the parking lot while Liz shopped. He loved being able to steer. Back at the house we built Lego towers and video chatted with my parents. He took a great nap after lunch and later this afternoon we went on a drive to see some construction equipment. We talked with Aunt Lauren this evening, then had dinner and the usual bed time routine. Liz is putting him down now and soon I will make a quick trip to Monteagle to get a few things.

I played with Luke a bit this morning and left home a little later than I would have liked, around 7:30. After stopping for gas I had an uneventful drive to the cottage, where I changed clothes and went to get no ethanol gas for the generator. My dad was waiting for me at the job site when I arrived. We first finished the siding on the front of the house, which was slow and difficult due to the height and numerous cutouts over the windows. Next we finished the far side. The heat and sunshine were pretty draining, and I had to run to CVS for some drinks in addition to the water I had on hand. We started just a little on the last of the back of the house, but I was pretty maxed out at that point, so we just put the trim pieces under the windows and called it a day. After showering we had dinner at the Mexican restaurant a few doors down. The food was mediocre and the service worse, as expected. Now I am just kind of a zombie on the couch. We should finish up the siding tomorrow morning.
