Hertzler Doings~March 16-22, 2015

Mon.-Another beautiful sunrise/sunset. A day at home to read, exercise, walk with Nathan and Alli, flip Nathan, snuggle with Nathan, collect eggs, clean out another drawer, tidy the house, clean up the junk outside, make vegetable soup and a chicken, read a book outside, read a book and take a nap, watch two Monks with Susan and Phil and trust God.

Tues.-Went to Dr. F. then to Farmville. Met Alli at Tractor Supply to show Nathan little chicks. Went to Walmart and saw them there, too. So much fun. Got my hair cut and then went with Jenny to Hampton Sydney. Chi Alpha had lemonade outreach there. Saw the history teacher who sang at our Pig Roast. Tripped on way back to car. Jenny caught me. Jammed both hands and twisted my back. Stopped in at Judy's on my way home. She gave me a late lunch of chicken soup and chocolate cake. Came home to sick Phil. Running a temp and coughing. Achey. On the sofa.

Wed.-Went back to Dr. F. and she refixed me. Feel much better. Susan took me to dentist as soon as I got home. On dental drugs but wouldn't have had to be. He took x-rays and said uh oh and sent me to a specialist for an extract and implant. Went to Encounter meeting in eve. with Alli. She drove. Slept well but sick in my stomach every few hours. Phil's temp up to 102.9. He slept on the sofa and his fever broke in the night.

Thurs.-Phil better but exhausted. Needs to get a bid in. I'm running a slight temp of not quite 100. Tickle and a cough. Susan headed out to Farmville for sports massage and haircut. Stopped and visited Judy between appts. Guys are in here for lunch. I'm working on Encounter today. Getting little done. Susan out to gym in eve. Michael passed his flying test!  Yay! Philip working on house in eve. Phil and I laid out with flu like symptoms. Dianna setting things up so I'm covered at Encounter if I can't come. Headed to bed before seven. Phil already asleep on the sofa. Turkey is cooking in crockpot. Not quite finished. I guess I'll deal with it in the middle of the night.

Fri.-Phil passed out this morning and Philip and Freeman helped him lay on the floor. Got him a Drs. appt. Diagnosis-pneumonia. On hefty antibiotics. I'm still running a slight fever. We're quite a pair. I think we both got what Nathan had-a fever for a few days-and then Phil developed a secondary infection. Resting a lot. Watched old Sherlock Holmes movies in the eve.

Sat.-Another day of rest. Missing Encounter at church. Have a slight fever. Phil's temp is normal finally. He looks rough. He's trying to get up and do things and then rests for awhile. I made a turkey potpie. Freeman is taking care of Nathan today while Alli is at Encounter. She is teaching. So proud of her. Philip worked on his house. Michael went out last night with Chace to Midlothian and treated Chace to Hong Kong food for C's birthday. Tonight, Michael, Philip, Chace, Jordan, and Ricky, are going out to Lynchburg to eat, then see The Hobbit, then go to Liberty's several hour talent share that starts at 11:30 pm. Claire was here overnight last night. They watched a movie in the mancave and Philip scared the wits out of them. They went to the gym today and over to HV to lay out on the bridge.  Susan's staying home tonight with us old fogies. It's hard to believe that family and friends in Pa have 6 inches of snow.

Sun.-Phil and I stayed home from church. He's coughing a lot and I'm dizzy. We had our own church service of sorts and we both read and I filled a page in my idea book. We watched some old Sherlock Holmes TV series and rested. Susan went to Richmond after church to attend a nutritional seminar. I'll hear more about it later because she got home while we were watching a movie with Philip. Philip took a long hike this afternoon. Michael had lunch with a friend and we didn't see much of him because he went to bed when he got home having only three hours of sleep last night. I sat in the sun a little too and I am feeling pretty good this eve. Phil went out to sleep on the recliner because he just wants to cough and this will help his lungs to be on an incline. He plans to go to work tomorrow. God bless him. I haven't seen Nathan for such a long time. Philip held him during worship today and he fell asleep during the second song and he held him for most of the service. Made him so happy.
