Day 1691. My student had to cancel both her lessons yesterday morning and this morning. I had another lesson scheduled at 11 am yesterday, but the new student didn't show up. I taught from 2:30 to 3:20 pm yesterday, then I got the kids ready to leave the house for their dance class. I stayed home with Sammy, while Randy took them there.

Day 1689. Randy is often up before the alarm goes off at 7:15, because Sammy is the first one up and is up early. Emmy then is the next one up. Tammy and I stay in bed as long as possible. When Randy had breakfast ready at 7:45, I encouraged her to get up and go have breakfast as well, though that's hard for her right after getting up.

Day 1688. A few days ago Emmy's big toe started hurting from an ingrown nail, and it was getting worse. It was only yesterday I started putting essential oils on it, which I should have started earlier. Randy was pushing to take him to the hospital. This morning, you could see a big blister on his foot, and I gave in.
