Saturday
Saturday was the first day I felt almost normal all week. I even got some reading done! Aaron, D16, and I went to Walmart to buy Easter food and some other items. Aaron, IL7, and I went to the new Mario movie.
Sunday
Easter Sunday, Dad was feeling too weak to go to church, so we skipped. D16 hid some plastic eggs in the yard, and then IL7 did a hunt. Everyone got a book from the Easter Bunny, too. IL7 got “BFG” by Roald Dahl. I got a biography of Benjamin Franklin. M13 got a history graphic novel. In the evening, I cooked a ham dinner.
Monday
Monday, IL7 was home sick with a fever. We played Minecraft and 7 “chapters” of an imagination game with LEGOs. Apparently, there are infinite chapters, but it’s ok, because we can play it every day. In the late afternoon, dad had a visit from his in-home nurse.
Tuesday
Tuesday, I took Dad to a doctor appointment and played Super Mario 3D World with IL7. Dad took us all out to Olive Garden.
Wednesday
On Wednesday, I took Dad to physical therapy, then to the gym. I took IL7 to two appointments. I played Scribblebots and Minecraft with IL7, and Aaron played Brotato with him.
Thursday
Thursday we had two separate contractors out to give quotes on the exterior paint of the house. I took D16 to an appointment. IL7 had his first grade concert. He didn’t want to be there, but he managed to participate in a couple of the songs.
Friday
Friday, there was no school – to add on to the three days IL7 was out of school at the beginning of the week. I took him to an appointment and took Dad to the gym.

Klawde and Raj each deal with unexpected enemies that have arrived in town. Like the first book, it was very funny.
This continues the story of Asle and his namesake. He reminisces in the third person. I admit to not really getting the point of this septology. Why were there two of a couple different people? I was hoping this book would make it clear. I have some ideas, but I’m not sure. Maybe about choosing the better life?
