hit by illness

 Steve came down with a cold Monday evening.  I did Wednesday morning. Sally has a UTI. So we have all been down for the count - at least for a couple of days for Steve and me.  By Saturday, we were able to serve our baptistry shift at the temple and we went to church today.  It was the Primary program and just imagine eight wiggly under-five-year-olds with zero attention spans and one 10 year old who really didn't want to be up there and how a program would go with those parameters. Yeah, you guessed it. But, everyone loved it, of course. The 10 year old is my piano student and he played a simplified arrangement of I Am A Child of God on the piano and nailed it but perish the thought that he would ever sing loud enough to be heard! His little brother, on the other hand, made up for the both of them.

Sally has been VERY smelly lately of urine. I would bathe her and she would stink the next day! So, I finally researched it and UTI was a possible answer. I called Open Door on Tuesday and they asked me to bring her down on Wednesday. At that point, I just had that tickle in the back of the throat that always heralds a cold so I had no problem driving her down. Fortunately, they were able to do an in-and-out cath to draw out some urine (she is a very up-tight pee-er) and, sure enough, UTI. She is on a week-long regimen of antibiotics that we picked up on Friday because I felt too crummy on Thursday to make the drive. 

With all the down time, we were able to watch two movies: Charade on Friday and the 2010 Robin Hood on Saturday. Both of us had seen the first movie but never watched the Russell Crow version of Robin Hood. It was definitely a different take on the story but we both enjoyed it. We are also caught up on Rings of Power, of course. 

On Monday, before we got sick, we actually took a little bike ride in the evening. That was nice.  And Steve drove to the airport that morning to pick up Beckie from her California trip. 

And that was our week....
