Visitors Brightened Our Day

Today did not begin well or end well.   Bill slept very little and didn't feel very good.  Jess spent roughly 2 hours yelling and screaming at us for coughing.  Ignoring her yelling can only go on for so long before someone else loses it.  Bill is getting stir-crazy so I decided to take him and Jess out for a bit.  I thought if we went to breakfast (of course, he'd just watch us) that would help.  We went to 2 restaurants and both were packed.  Not ever going to breakfast on a Sunday morning we weren't aware that it is a big eat-out day.  We ended up at McDonald's for lunch.  It was OK, but not when you were thinking of an omelet.

Bill and Jess stayed in the van while I ran into Kohl's to pick up a set of flannel bedding for Bill's bed.  He's so cold at night.  We have flannels for our bed, but not twin size.  Washed them and he's enjoying their comfort as I type.

When we got home no one was in any better mood, that's for sure.  However, we received a couple visits and that lifted our spirits.  Cindy, our friend from church, brought a roast beef dinner and stayed to talk.  Later on, George and Mary came.  It was just what we needed.  Thanks, Cindy, George and Mary!

However, around 8:30 p.m., Jess started yelling again.  By this time Bill couldn't take anymore so I brought her upstairs, gave her a bath and put her to bed.  That entire time she cried and cried and cried, for an entire hour!  I don't think she even knew what she was crying for by this time.  Let's hope that tomorrow will be much better for her!
