Well, I'm 99% certain that Ivy now has the same aflliction. Last night she noticed a few small red bumps on her hands and one on her butt, thinking they were just zits. But this morning: they were on her hands, feet, mouth...and butt! Lots on her butt. They are painful to the touch and it hurts to walk and to eat. Yep, I'd say that's 99% certain.
The rest of the kids keep freaking out when she comes near or touches something. I keep telling them, "It's just a mild virus and not a big deal at all. You probably already have it, too, but just don't have any symptoms."
We spent all morning and much of the afternoon packing and organizing. We made good progress, but at this stage it means that the house is in total upheaval. The kids also worked on filming a stop-motion animation up in the attic, which now has one completed scene that is quite charming. I supervised, helped out quite a bit at certain moments, all between hopping back on the computer to do my "real" work.
We headed to the beach for late afternoon. Eric had already left to do treasure hunting. Inga and Zari set off as a team and came back loaded with "treasures." Eric found a Samsung phone and children's snorkel mask. Zari and Inga found 2 pairs of swim googles, another swim mask, a beer bottle, a water bottle, a fluorescent green wig, a hair bow, an underwear gift card, a Carrefour card, several bits of random trash, and half of a crab shell.
Zari and Inga were out for 2 1/2 hours! I finally had to swim out to them (they were way out near the point) and tell them it was time for dinner. I hadn't eaten all day and it was close to 7 pm by then. I was ready to go home and eat.
I had a live session late this evening. Zari and I have an early start for her wisdom teeth extraction. We have to be at the clinic by 7 am, which means leaving her by 6:15 am!
