The expected high today is a respectable 90F.
Today we made a birthday cake for Avia to eat for breakfast after we call her in the morning!
For dinner we had leftovers.

126th Day of Quarantine
The high today was a pleasant 86F.
I spent the first few hours of my day trying to get a hold of someone at the insurance company, since they are denying the kids medicine, again, due to some missing records from long ago. I'm pretty sure the records are in California, but they might be in Houston. So, I've secured forms from everyone, and I'm in contact now with Jacq, our contact at the drug company, and their current endocrinologist' office.
It's so frustrating, but I think that I made some good progress yesterday, and am hopeful that it will be resolved before their current script runs out.
For art this week, we made paper airplanes! The assignment was to create one from the booklet out of scratch paper, then they could choose one piece of "nice" paper to create the final product if they wanted. The only one who wanted to improve her plane was grace. = )
Billy had to run into work today, while he was gone I knocked out a couple of masks to mail to Chelsea.
Once Billy came home, I left to retrieve groceries from Carl's to deliver to Alyssa. Her baby was in the hospital, and my heart just aches for her her. Thankfully the babe was released yesterday evening with a round of antibiotics and seems to be on the mend!
For dinner we had pizza.
We finished off the day with a few episodes of Kim Possible.

125th Day of Quarantine
The high today was 78F. It was dreary and misty all day.
Another moth picture, this time for Juliet, to draw into the nature journal today.
After our morning lessons, and knocking out my chores, I finished sewing my pile of started masks. Then I cut out my next round.
I threaded ear straps, stamped my mark, then packaged them up for delivery. These three are being mailed out to some special people tomorrow! = )
Billy made a trip to Menards and picked up lunch from Bob Evans. We still had a gift card leftover from Thanksgiving, so I called it in so that we could use it up!
Once he returned I ran to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription and some empty syringes for a project he's working on next week.
For dinner we reheated some of the leftover Bob Evans. I do love their green beans. = )

124th Day of Quarantine
The high today was 88F. We didn't see any rain today, so according to Swithin's Day lore, we will have 40 fair days to follow. = )
Does this tree look like it's leaning to you?
In our nature journal this week the kids are drawing moths. Emily and I studied one the night before her day, and she drew it from memory. William picked one from the nature guide. But today, Grace and I found where one sleeps! We snapped a picture, and then she drew it from there.
We picked up Billy's car, and the check engine light came on on his trip home. Sadly, we will not have time to take care of it this week or next. = /
I finally scored some chocolate bars in my grocery order yesterday, so we made a little fire and cooked up s'mores tonight!
And Billy trimmed William's hair for the second time this quarantine.
For dinner we had steak fajitas.
---------
123nd Day of Quarantine
The high today away 84F.
I picked up groceries, despite that it was a Tuesday. William's Monday surgery is making my week feel all kinds of weird.
I took Billy's car in with Sarah. She met me in Mason and gave me a lift home, since she was coming over to mow the lawn anyhow. = )
The twins were singing along to parts of the Frozen II sound track. It's a little annoying and very adorable.
We had Lunchables/light fare and leftovers for dinner.
Billy and I finished season one of Carnival Row.
----------
122nd Day of Quarantine
The high today was warm with a cool breeze, topping out at 78F.
William and I woke up at 5am, so that we could be in the hospital by 7:15. We made good time, and pulled into the parking garage just after 6:30. We were quickly taken back, then had a lot of waiting. Once the time drew near, the surgeon came in and went over the procedure.
Then, it was time for William to have the pre-anesthesia anesthetic. He seemed to take to it slowly, then it hit hard. He started talking in mumbles and then laughed an almost maniacal laugh. Just a few minutes later they wheeled him back.
They had a coffee station in the waiting area, and so I enjoyed a cup while waiting.
His procedure was super short, and he was in recovery longer than he spent in the operating room. The surgeon came to let me know that it went well, then a while later they called me back. He woke a little fearful. He did not like that he could not feel his toes.
The nurse put on a show for him to watch, and when he was coming back around to himself, she brought him a frozen cherry treat! Once he finished that, he had to be changed back into his own nightgown. He was excited to ride in a green wheelchair all they way back to the car!
We left the hospital just after 11, and continued the tradition of going to Sonic as a treat. When we returned to Lansing, we picked up McDonald's for everyone else.
William was charging around and dancing within just a few minutes of returning home.
We bid adieu to our kitchen rug of 13 years, since my new one came in. I was sad to say goodbye, but it was frayed on the sides and was developing some pretty big holes in in the middle. Our new one looks pretty good, since it was purchased to match our current kitchen.
For dinner we had lasagna and the rest of the avocado ranch salad.
--------
121st Day of Quarantine
The expected high today is 81F.
Billy broke out the jumper cables from his car to see if it were indeed the battery, and it is. Sadly, Walmart's automotive is currently closed because of the corona virus, and this battery is well within it's warranty. = ( AutoZone and the like will not touch Billy's car because of the terrible engine configuration that makes changing the battery challenging*. So, on Tuesday, because tomorrow is William's surgery, we will have to take it in.
It doesn't escape my notice, that I was finally going to take my car in to the dealership for a laundry list of small issues as soon as this surgery trip was over. But instead, we'll be taking in Billy's car. Sad times.
For dinner Billy cooked up some steaks.
I made cupcakes for William so that he could store up some calories before his morning of fasting.
later days
*compared to my Chrysler Sebring, it is an improvement. At least Walmart will change it despite the additional labor. My Sebring required taking off the left front tire to change the battery (I'm not kidding) so Walmart wouldn't even touch it.
