Sick and Life Updates

My parents came back from their trip to Canada last Friday. They had a wonderful time at Dad's best friend's grandson's wedding.* 

Unfortunately, mom now has a black eye, a broken rib, and a broken shoulder (what kind of a party did she go to?). Also, they both tested positive for COVID after getting home, and now I am sick, too. 

In other news: 

• We rented a full-size cello for C. 
• E is looking for a new violin - he's been trying a bunch out, but so far - no winners.
• H is loving her school schedule, especially because English is not until the second semester. To H, this means that she does not have to get back to reading Frankenstein (summer reading) until winter break.
• The weather is beautiful right now - I wish I could go for a hike. But I'm not feeling great and have a ton of work...
• The weekend was not too busy: helping out my parents, going to the cello rental place, going to the pool. Also, as always, laundry. 
• My energy level is ridiculously low: I made banana bread last Saturday, and then felt so tired I needed to sit down and rest a while. Really! 

 

*Dad has a best friend from med school that he has been in touch with all these years. Their daughter and grandkids live in Canada.
