We woke up and read this morning before Liz and Luke made breakfast cookies. We waited a bit to go to the farmers market due to the rain, but once we were there it was great to see and talk with everybody. Back at the house I had a nap but nobody else did. We were pretty much homebound all afternoon and it was quite boring. We had dinner and I did bed time, so that Liz could have a little break. He went to bed really early and quickly due to not having a bath.
Rails.
I slept well last night and got to the job site just before seven. One of the electricians was there and we chatted for a bit. I finished the skirting on the blue house then headed down to Winchester to pick up goat panels to use on the porch railings. That went well and back at the houses I got busy installing them. It actually went better than expected, thanks in large part to my air powered stapler. After finishing I cleaned up the site a bit, then went to the cottage for a shower and to gather my belongings. I got some dinner in Pelham then drove the rest of the way home via Bell Buckle. I surprised Liz and Luke as they weren’t expecting me until tomorrow evening. Now Liz is putting Luke to bed.


Another Luke and Daddy day.
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.
