Sunday afternoon, Dec 22 - Late afternoon Bobby came home from his Mom's with a fever. We were thinking kidney stone, and I started mentally preparing myself for Christmas at Rex Hospital.
Two hours later, I crawl in the bed beside him with the realization this is no kidney stone we're facing. 10 hours later, after me being up every single hour, he's no longer physically sick but is still running a fever. Thankfully it's the only time in our marriage we've both been sick at the same time. Being a care giver and that ill simply does not work. I spend over half of my birthday between the bathroom and the couch, but fever free. About 4pm I finally feel well and his temp is almost gone. I start packing, though we're still on the fence about going anywhere.
Christmas Eve we travel...no fever and illness for either one of us. Before departing, I realize the septic tank is overflowing. En route to AL I get a phone call from the credit union asking about purchases made on our credit card...which we didn't make.
Christmas Day...queasy all day, but a low key day with family. Much needed.
26th - we all sleep in. My sisters and I continue the 2,000 piece puzzle that my sisters started on Christmas Eve. It's way harder than it looks. My older sister and brother-in-law finish it during supper that evening.
27th - Mom and Dad's 57th wedding anniversary. We all gather at Jean's on the River for supper. It was a neat experience.
28th - We make the 10 hr trek back home.
It was a good trip and a great time with family. And it's the first time I ever remembering not sampling all the Christmas goodies. Hoping Tuesday is low key and a day to rest before the craziness of life picks back up again.
