Fever and Chills

Well, K went back to school and L and M are home sick with fever and chills.  I have a cough starting up but still seem to be functioning!  I'm usually always tired anyway.  L made team captain of her school tennis team and is the singles number two seed this year, so she's happy about that.  Her schedule is so jam-packed with activities, it's mind boggling.  Yesterday evening she was on her cell phone when the house phone rang for her.  Wonder what it will be like when she's an adult?  She's going to need a secretary.  She got a small tax refund this year and she's ready to open a retirement savings account.  But I think we can wait until next year, I hate paperwork.

This evening we somehow have to attend my niece's confirmation ceremony, L is the godmother.  The bishop will be there, so it's a dressy affair.  L wants to wear her new (first) pair of ultra high-heeled sandals. That will be after her driving lesson (she hasn't had one for awhile).  And tomorrow's another day.

At step class today, the instructor had been away on a Florida vacation with a girlfriend.  I remarked to another lady that a lot of people seem to be doing that instead of with their husbands.  She goes 'Great idea, at our age, who cares about that stuff?'  We chuckled, because the husbands can be such couch potatoes.  She favours being on a tour when you're forced to be on a 'get up and go' schedule.
