Day 1480. Last night was a lot better, thank God; I didn't wake up constantly because of this cold bothering me. I had set an alarm for 7 am, and it actually woke us all up. Well, it woke up Sammy. Tammy and Emmy continued sleeping for a while, and surprisingly it was Emmy who woke up last. We had some breakfast and left the house at 8:15.

Day 1479. I had to set my alarm for 7 am this morning, but the boys were up before then anyway. And I was up constantly during the night, mainly because of this cold that's been making me miserable, partly also because of the kids. So I was really tired this morning, but I needed to pack everything up before teaching from 8 to 10 am.

Day 1478. Today was our last day in Mississippi. Randy was doing better - except for his arm still hurting - but today I was the one being sick and feeling miserable. I have a sore throat and runny nose and had a hard time doing everything I needed to do. I started the day by teaching an hour.
