So I am back in action. However, it's been hard to actually get up and get going after spending about a month mostly in bed. The trouble was that I've lost a bit of weight and the doctor wanted to do a chest scan to make sure I only had pneumonia and not something else. But he couldn't do the scan until the pneumonia fluid cleared up. So I stayed in bed as much as possible hydrating and resting so I could get the scan ASAP and know everything is okay.
On Sunday we all went to the town pool. R and S went over on their own, then a little while later the rest of us went and surprised them. When we got there, R and S were walking by the pool, so we sent L over to them. They were visibly shaken to see her there, seemingly alone. It was funny. Then we played around in the pool. There are four parts: the kiddie pool, which has a little slide and a waterway for toy boats; the play pool where there are a few water jets and kids can play with inner tubes, diving sticks, etc; the lap pool; and the deep pool with the high and low diving boards and a cargo net climbing structure. The deep pool is just the other half of the lap pool. On certain days the cargo nets are hung from the ceiling. That is why they aren't shown in the photo I got online. This is where S has her school swimming lessons.
S had some good luck and ran into a girl from school. I would say friend, but S says she is a classmate and hasn't been promoted to friend yet due to some erratic behavior. She invited S to go somewhere with her after school on Wednesday, which is their half day. They arranged it all themselves, which made me a little nervous, but it all worked out and I will let S write about it.
This week is the first week of R's two week February vacation. So far it has been a bit of a bust. She wanted to sleep in and hang out on Monday, which was fine. But we all accidentally slept in Tuesday, too. Today we spend a lot of time doing laundry and packing for Saas Fee. We had to bring our luggage to the station today for it to be shipped ahead. Time really does slip away. But R doesn't seem to mind hanging out, and she will have lots of fun next week. I really like a two week vacation for that reason: there is time to relax and to have fun, so there isn't tons of pressure to do either. I am hoping that a week of skiing will jump start me back into action in time for the second week of S's vacation.
