Day 2173. Emmy was up early and woke everybody else up. We soon got up, and I was packing while Randy and the kids were having breakfast. Once I was done, I also ate. Then the kids and I went over to our friends' house and sat down with them for a last few minutes. The kids were enjoying the dogs and showing their dance moves to our friends.

Day 2172. This was the third day of Sammy having a fever and feeling miserable. He was the first one up this morning, and as the other two were in our bed, Randy joined Sammy in their bed. We then also woke up because of the noise they were making. Tammy and Emmy had slept quite long today, and as I did not have an early student, that worked out well.

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.
