The end of our sick week

Our week was pretty much anti-productive.  I pretty much never got off the couch from the time I got home Tuesday after school until I got up this morning.  Except of course for last evening when I had to deal with a car accident, but we'll get to that in a minute.

My fever was over Wednesday evening.  Andrew however, began a fever yesterday morning and is still running one as of today.  No one picked up his sub assignment, so I got to cover that class first thing this morning before going to cover Sophomore English for the morning, then covering Geometry this afternoon.  Lots of fun!  I also have to get payroll submitted for the church today, but I plan to crash once I finally make it home.  In fact, dinner is probably going to be lazy frozen pizza.

Yesterday was quiet an experience.  Andrew went to the doctor late morning, and it took forever.  When he went to pick up his prescription, he was told it would be 45 minutes.  There was no way he had the energy for that, so he came on home.  Catherine drove him back up two hours later when she got home from school, and he was told it would be another 30 minutes.  Ugh!  We finally sent her up another three hours later, and that was when she managed to rear-end another vehicle because she was looking at her phone.  Thankfully, both she and other driver are fine, there were no other passengers, and she took full responsibility and handled everything as she should.  We pulled our sick selves together (we hadn't even brushed our teeth!) and drove to check on her.  The car has some pretty significant damage, but that can be fixed.  The other vehicle has only very minor damage, so we are grateful for that.  The other driver was also very kind about everything.  So much for saving the sick people from having to go out for the prescription.  Oh, and it STILL WASN'T READY!

Because of the car situation (Catherine was driving Andrew's car last evening) and the fact that he is sick, Andrew won't be visiting his parents this weekend.  Catherine works 20 hours this weekend, and Thomas has set construction all day tomorrow.  I would love to get caught up with laundry, but our fridge is empty, and grocery shopping tomorrow might take everything I have in me.  On the upside though, it is Friday, it is the weekend, the sun is shining, and everyone is okay overall.  I'll take that anyday!
