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. 

Day 2169. I had gone to bed at 1 am. At 6:30 am Emmy woke up after having slept right next to me, and he got up and walked to his siblings' bed and woke them up as well. Just great. And they were pretty loud, making it hard for me to continue sleeping. Eventually Randy got up and made them breakfast. I stayed in bed, and they continued being loud.
