Day 1207. I had not set an alarm this morning; it was my only free morning this week, though I had little time to work in the end. When I finally looked at the clock this morning, I was surprised to find that it was already around 8:30 am.  A few minutes before 9 am the doorbell rang

Day 1206. Today I did not have an alarm set, but Emmy was up as early as always, and I allowed them to watch a video. When it was over, he came to me, asking me to let them watch another one, but I said no. It was 8 am and time to get up anyway. And so all three joined me in bed, and Randy gave us their advent calendars.

Day 1205. The last ones of us just barely over the last round of colds, Tammy now has a cough again and coughed all night. Emmy still climbs into bed with me a lot, which together made for a rough night. He was asleep next to me, when my alarm went off at 8 am.
