Day 1963. Yesterday morning I was glad that the previous night had been better, Emmy not coughing and twisting and turning all the time. Once they had left for kindergarten, I went back to bed and had some restful sleep. I knew it was my last chance to sleep in the morning before we leave on our trip.

Day 1961. We were going to go to church on Sunday night, but it did not turn out that way. We've all this same virus, but not everyone is affected to the same degree. Emmy has had it worst, and he's been sick for two weeks, and he's still coughing bad. He's also the only one who's had elevated body temperature repeatedly.

Day 1958. This is the fourth day in a row we have not gone anywhere, which is unusual. I guess we're enjoying the Christmas break, especially as it's about go get really busy again. Of course I still had to work - teaching, as well as doing office work for the ministry in relation to the change of year. I wished I could say that I'm more rested, but the opposite is true.
