I took BK to the airport, um, sometime this week (Wednesday?). Wednesday was also the day I picked up the Kai early from school because he had a crazy 103 temp. I could not get a hold of Amanda that afternoon, so I took him to a meeting for a presentation I had later in the evening at Seattle University that I really could not miss. Amanda did drop by to retrieve him.

The Kai remained rather feverish, so I kept him home on Thursday and Friday.

Saturday, we walked down to Columbia City and had bfast at Geraldine’s Counter. Since the Kai was home the past few days, I have am crazy behind on stuff that has to be done asap (although I had tried to work in the evenings but have passed out too early), so I worked at home while Amanda took the Kai to a park and met up with MC and CC. It was crazy sunny and warm (65 according to the internet).

They eventually came home, and Amanda did some yard work while I put the Kai to bed. He is feeling better, but is still a bit out of sorts. Amanda came in because she had gotten too much sun and was looking red but not yet burnt. I kept working while Amanda futzed with life admin tasks.

After the Kai woke up she went to MC-AC’s house while I did a bit more work. Before I left to meet up with them, I put a latch on the chicken run. Unfortunately, I dropped one of the screws inside the run, and Red immediately picked it up and ran off with it. I entered the run and tried to grab her but when I finally did the screw was no where to be found. I could not find it on the ground or in the henhouse, so it seems likely Red or someone else ate it. That can’t be good, and I was sad. I guess we will see how it goes.

I later joined the rest of the family at MC-AC’s house and had a dinner of macaroni and cheese and vegetables and a little red wine and berry cobbler. Kai still has a low fever, and apparently so do I.

I am listening to him cough. Hopefully tomorrow will see him healthier.
