Day 2171. Yesterday I didn't have to teach in the morning which was nice so I tried to sleep - with limited success. It was raining, and so I tried to do some office work. However, suddenly none of my office files would open any more. What a nightmare! I tried for hours to find a solution but to no avail. No more Word, Excel etc. In the end I had to buy a new Office version, and thankfully it would install. 

Day 2169. I had gone to bed at 1 am. At 6:30 am Emmy woke up after having slept right next to me, and he got up and walked to his siblings' bed and woke them up as well. Just great. And they were pretty loud, making it hard for me to continue sleeping. Eventually Randy got up and made them breakfast. I stayed in bed, and they continued being loud.

Day 2168. I had set my alarm for 8 am, but the boys were up way before that. I finally got up and warmed up some frozen breakfast egg dish we had bought in the supermarket; Emmy enjoyed it. Randy ran to the car to bring up some water bottles and picked up paper bags with our breakfast from the reception desk.
