Last night I had crazy chills. I was shaking vigorously. It made for some crazy awesome cuddling with Lily. She probably felt a little oppressed as I tried to steal every ounce of body heat that I could from her. Also, it was a bit concerning.
I woke up in the morning feeling fairly decent. Lily did too. In fact, for a large part of the day, we both felt like maybe we were on the mend.
Lily worked on her German, listened to audio books and helped around the house. I cleaned the upstairs with the kids (Lydia grumbling much of the way). After putting Clarissa down, I rested a bit while Lily studied German next to me and then I wrote in my journal and worked on odds and ends like my property tax bill.
At 2:00 we had home church. We had hymns, I blessed and passed the sacrament, and we did a reading from Matthew 7, and had a short session, like a testimony meeting, but more just sharing thoughts we wanted to share. I thanked everyone, especially Lily (who doesn’t care much for the church) and Lydia (who was bored out of her mind) for supporting my desire to meet together, and worship, and think of God and how we can live our most inspired lives. Lily shared that she liked the part in Matthew 7 about seeking and finding saying that to her it meant that if we are curious enough and really want to know something, we can find the answer. Georgia shared her thoughts about what it means to her to partake of the bread and water, how it reminds her of Jesus and her desire to be like Him.
After church at home (since regular church was cancelled due to Carona Virus concerns), Lily and I started to feel not so great. We took it easy. I rested a bit and then managed to get dinner on. I even got help from all of the kids (except Clarissa 🙂 ). Mary even made place tags!
After dinner I watched Mr. Rogers with the children while Lily talked to Swathi and got great medical advice. Then we talked to my family who also also were very helpful and even looked up the hours of a local clinic for us that was (thank goodness) open until midnight. As soon as we hung up with my parents, Lily and I decided to go see a doctor. Lily had already seen two doctors. I had only been sick since Friday. But especially with Georgia living with us, we want to play it on the safe side. Lily just called me and said they are going to test us both tonight for Carona Virus. I’ve been trying to be diligent about handwashing and I even wore a face mask for a little bit, but I’ll be so much more at ease just knowing what I have. I’m going to go in as soon as she gets home. We will get results in 2-3 days because they are backed up on processing tests.
On a COMPLETELY different note. Our family pictures came back. They are so great! Here are some highlights!
