Sick, in more ways than one

Still don't have the sale date postponed on the foreclosure. It is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 3, at 11 a.m. So, tonight I took the first step in filing for bankruptcy: online counseling. It is a holiday weekend & some federal courts are taking not just Friday off, but also Monday. The Salt Lake Federal Court is taking tomorrow, Thursday, afternoon off. Don has tomorrow & Friday off, so, if we do end up having to run to Pocatello to drop off our bankruptcy petition or whatever it's called, he can drive. If they are open, that is.

We don't have a lawyer, & are filing "pro se," whatever that is. We do have someone coaching us. Thanks to Sandee Matthews, who got us in touch with a lady in her ward, who got us in touch with a company in Salt Lake. We just have to wait & pray for the Lord's intervention.

I have a cold & tonight I felt so bad, my hair hurt. My throat is sore, I have an earache & a toothache. Other than that, I'm just fine.

Don must be sick

He went to bed at 11 p.m. This man is the late night king. He has a head cold or maybe it's just a bad cold. He called Connie Merrill, the choir leader, this morning to tell her he couldn't sing in the ward cantata today & she didn't recognize his voice. He did fix supper, but then left me to do the dishes. There weren't very many, but it took me almost 2 hours to do them, sigh.

Friday, Dec. 10

Day 2, or is it day 3?, of the crud. I'm feeling much better today, but getting dressed just about did me in. It was Don-Mike's turn to take care of Nana today. I need to get over there tomorrow & change the dressing on her leg.

Now, Nick & Don-Mike are feeling lousy too. So, guess staying away from Mother didn't really do anything. Don stayed home from work again today.

Thursday, Dec. 9

As far as service goes, Nick took the honors today. I woke up sick with flu, I think. Whatever, I felt absolutely horrid. Don says we felt NICE. Nauseated, ill, crappy, exhausted. He came home from work sick too.He may have been nauseated, but not me. I had the Mexican two-step.

Nick took Mother to get her hair done, picked her up & took her to lunch. I didn't get the bandage changed on her leg, but I didn't feel up to it AND, this is a biggie, I didn't want to expose her to whatever bug I have.

I'm going to read my scriptures & go to bed.
