Another Luke and Daddy day.

Posted on by David Maxwell

After a miserable night of coughing, mostly spent on the sofa so as not to disturb Liz, it was nice to see Luke this morning. We read several books while it was still dark outside. After breakfast we went to Port Royal for a couple of hours, Luke was pretty active and was excited to see Ridley there. Next we went to Kroger to get a number of things. That was pretty unpleasant. We had lunch at home then tried for a long time to nap. At about 2:15 we got in the car and drove for an hour and a quarter or so, most of the time he slept. Back home we played until Liz got off work. They went outside together and I worked on setting up my new phone. We had dinner and cleaned up, and now Liz and Luke are doing bath time. I hope to leave for the Mountain before too long.

Luke and Daddy day.

This morning I drove home to look after Luke. He and Liz were at the doctor’s when I arrived, but returned shortly and we started playing together. After lunch he didn’t nap so we went for a car ride, during which he fell asleep. He woke up as we were in the Walgreen’s drive through. That ended up taking over thirty minutes. After dinner I drove up to the Mountain. Luke is very excited about the fact that Uncle Matt is coming tonight.

Still coughing.

I didn’t sleep well last night and felt pretty rough this morning. Liz made pancakes again and we went to Home Depot and Kroger. After lunch Luke and I both napped and then we did a video chat with my parents. Our next door neighbor Jerry called and I went to help him move a piece of furniture. Luke and I built Lego towers while Liz prepared dinner. I got a text saying that I was negative for the virus, which was a little disappointing, since I would like to have it and be done, especially since I haven’t been feeling too bad. Luke is getting his bath now and will hopefully sleep at a reasonable time. I am not looking forward to driving to the Mountain tonight.

Coughing, testing, mowing, and more.

I woke up a little before four this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep. Luke got up a couple of hours later and we read books while Liz made pancakes. After eating we went to the farmers market and he rode his tricycle around. We ended up at the little splash pad and he was happy to take off his clothes and play there. After lunch he failed at taking a nap, so he went with Liz for a drive while I took trash to the dump then mowed the yard. I also went to get tested for the virus at CVS and will get my results within a couple of days. I cleaned up the kitchen while waiting for Liz and Luke to return from the playground. We had a nice dinner and Luke did pretty well at bed time.

Finally making my way back to the Mountain.

Luke was still snotty this morning and so I stayed home with him. We built towers and read books all morning. Liz went to get tested for the virus in Pulaski and we stayed home and ate lunch. He took an hour long nap after making a monster line-up of almost everything in his bedroom. He was in a weird mood this afternoon, maybe because he knew he was going to the doctor’s office. At three Liz took him there and I drove to Monteagle. At the job site I just pulled most of the tape and paper off the houses. It was nice to see the contrast between siding and trim, although I do have plenty of touch up painting to do on both. After getting a little food at Piggly Wiggly I have been reading at the cottage. I also chatted on the phone with Liz for a bit.
