- E and husband came down with bad colds, but they still drove to Penn State for an engineering open-house event. They came home late, exhausted, barely able to move.
- C went to a sleep-over birthday party
- H and I went to a French restaurant for dinner
- With C being away, the big kids and I watched "Silence of the Lambs"
Saturday
- E and husband are not feeling well at all.
- E had a meet - he let his coach know that he was sick, but the coach said "the team needs you" - it was a relay race. So E went... he ran OK and was happy with his time (it was 5:30 for the mile), considering he hasn't been training much and was feeling terrible. He nearly blacked out at the end, but made it.
- I did not go to the meet (I asked E - he said, don't come; it turned out to be super long - E left at 8 and did not get back until 2 pm) - instead, I went for a walk in the park.
- I picked up C from the sleepover and we went food-shopping.
- Cleaned up around the house a bit, did laundry
- We were supposed to have friends over and I was going to have to cancel (my husband was barely awake and miserable), but they beat us to it - they were sick, too. I guess something bad is going around and it's only a matter of time before I get it (the girls had somethign last week, but it was mild and they felt better after a day of resting).
- H went to a friend's birthday celebration
Sunday
- E and husband are feeling terrible. E was agonizing all morning about work and if he should call in sick. He emailed his manager to see if he could do something that was not customer-facing, only to realize a few minutes later that he was not scheduled to work today.
- C and H went to Hebrew school. C then went to help out at a local foodbank with a friend.
- Husband and I fertilized trees and took stock of our garden (we need a new fence).
- C and I went shopping - stopped by Eddie Bauer and then Costco. Eddie Bauer is going out of business - I am so sad. I love that store. I love their jeans. I have 3 pairs of their hiking pants. My favorite summer dress is from Eddie Bauer. And my hiking shoes. And my leather jacket. And my favorite sandals.
- E felt better in the afternoon and had a couple of orchestra friends over to practice for an upcoming performance - and then they stayed for dinner.
- The girls and I watched "Bones" while E was finishing up homework.
Hope you are all staying healthy! What's been happenning this weekend for you?
Just fyi, Eddie Bauer isn't going to disappear completely. They only declared bankruptcy for the *stores*. You should still be able to shop online. It sounds very weird, but I swear, that's what the news stories said: https://www.centraloregondaily.com/news/consumer/eddie-bauer-stores-closing-bankruptcy-no-buyer/article_f50bc07a-3737-44ea-9218-a7e0ca553c15.html

Oh that's good to know!!!! I better go order more hiking pants!
DeleteI am late with my comment... Our last weekend was in South Carolina, exploring, swimming, and resting. We just came back just today Saturday, 04/04 around 3pm and I am going to bed at 6PM since I was driving with the kids all day.
ReplyDeleteWe made a stop over in Richmond, VA and that was helpful. South Carolina and NJ are 10 hours apart!
THIS weekend we will rest and do a few loads of laundry.
Hi Dasha - it's entirely possible we drove next to you :) We were in Virginia, then North Carolina, and drove home through Richmond. My husband did all the driving, but I was still exhausted when we got back. It is so good to be home.
