On Wednesday, the weather warmed at about 11am, so Phil got started. He mixed up a second half batch at maybe 3:30, and was bringing down a few loads of concrete blocks when he knocked over the scaffolding. Next time, we'll move them out of the way.
Thankfully, no damage was done.
Phil's batch of mortar didn't end until long after dark. At the end of the day, since he had to simply put blocks down between the walls, he had done 66 blocks. Very visible progress.
But Wednesday morning, we both felt a bit ill. Tired eyes, draggy, a bit dizzy, sore throat. It wasn't horrible (obviously, as we were able to work all day), but it was definitely an off day.
I went to bed with the boys and slept for ten hours. And woke up only to sleep again. By 1pm, I no longer felt like the only thing I desired in the world was a warm blanket and a pillow.
Phil, though, has continued to sleep. He got up at one point and everything went black: he didn't quite pass out, but that was a new experience for him.
The boys haven't minded an indoor day. We cleaned up a good bit, and have continued through the Ramona Quimby series. I read most (all?) of the Ramona books as a girl, but don't think I've read them in order. It's been quite fun to share them with the boys.
