Coughing, testing, mowing, and more.

Posted on by David Maxwell

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.

Stayin’ sick.

Liz still feels pretty crummy. Luke is still snotty but seems otherwise okay. Well, he is also coughing a bit. We were pretty much homebound except for a car nap and quick trip to a deserted playground. Tomorrow I will stay home to watch Luke.

Gettin’ sick.

Luke had an elevated temperature and lots of snot this morning, and Liz’s cough has still not gone away. So we took it easy and early this afternoon she went to an urgent care center for a chest x-ray. They said she has some sort of bronchial junk and gave her a prescription. This evening I did bed time with Luke and that took about an hour.

Headed towards painting.

This morning I said goodbye to everybody and drove to the supply store in Winchester. They did not have the panel I needed, so I continued to the Mountain. At the job site I started taping off for painting. That was slow and tedious but I made good progress. After finishing about 6:30 I drove to Lowe’s in McMinnville to get paint and electrical panels. I got home about 9:45 and hope to go to bed soon. The electricians are coming in the morning.
