Everybody's sick

St. Lucia... what a view... I could handle this!So Lauren had a doc apt yesterday, and they changed her meds for her panic attacks, so hopefully she will find it helps. They gave her a Hep B shot and they said one of the side effects is a fever. Well I went to hug her last night and she felt like she was on fire. Yep, she had a fever. So she wasn't feeling very well last night.
i was running a temp, and I couldn't even sit up to listen to the meeting. well, I was having such a brain problem yesterday, I couldn't figure out what anyone was talking about. NOTHING made sense. That is why I didn't even hook up for the meeting. I was so so so bad yesterday.
Then Steph's back flared up at work yesterday. She has that frequently, like EO does. She couldn't bend to get dressed or sit. So she went to bed and fell asleep in about 2 minutes, she was out cold.
EO was doing a tad better, but not good enough where he can dress himself yet or stand for more than a few minutes. This morning he was in ALOT of pain. So after I got him dressed, I got his socks and shoes on and he went with Lauren down for 2nd Harvest. He can lay the seat back while they wait. Lauren will have to do all the lifting, which will be hard for her, since she got that shot in her arm and she can't even lift her arm. .... boy o boy are we a crippled up family.
The horses have pretty much eaten all the grass in the front pen. So this afternoon, when Steph gets home from work, we are going to open up the back field and walk the horses around the fence line. Their water will still be up by the barn, so they will have to come up for that several times a day. Plus they will stay close to the yard light and barn at night.
I'm not sure if I will, but I might lay out the blanket today and try to get it pinned up. I don't know if I will yet, but we will see how the day goes. Steph might have to do it by herself. Although I really know she would rather I be out there with her.
Plus, EO has to go and get bottled water for the tenants and get that distributed today. Well, Lauren will again have to help him with that too.
Boy I wish I felt better.
Did I mention we are getting eggs now? The older hen is laying them, has been for several days. the 3 young hens should be laying in ? a couple months? I just can't remember how old they are. EO has told me like a dozen times. I quit asking, cause I don't want to drive him crazy. I will just let the fact I can't retain numbers, drive myself crazy. No need to inflict my problems on someone else.
I'm off... I need to tend to the fire.... in the wood stove.
