Fire, Fish and Patient Zero's Potent Puke

The first ever Middle Precinct ice fishing trip was a success because Kyle brought fish home! I'm not a fan of catch and release cause I wanna eat 'em, but Kyle doesn't like to clean them. So thanks Kyle for catching, cleaning and smoking fish for our dinner.
It's too bad that ice fishing is so cold because the two times Kyle has gone ice fishing have been more successful than years worth of all other fishing. And it doesn't make him sea sick either.
My fireplace made a sad zapping noise and now the heat doesn't work! I'm so sad. It's been my favorite spot in the house for 3 years. It's where I read my books, took my naps, snuggle, stay warm and eat my ice cream cone every night. Now I have to go back to sitting on the vent when I hear the furnace kick on.
Apparently puking puts Tai in a puzzling mood! She threw up 2 days after Kasen then woke up wanting to do puzzles and did them for 2 days. I said no to getting out the 2000 piece puzzle, but was quite impressed that she did the 300 piece all by herself! She also wanted them all put together at the same time.
 - Tai is the worlds loudest drinker EVER. The gulping noises have to be forced, but she doesn't even seem to notice.
-She is turning into a mini me. When friends come over to play she tells me she wants to keep her door shut so that her room stays clean.
-When she prays at night she's been asking for Kohen to please stop hitting everyone. I support.
-I'm also impressed with her memory. She is always asking if I remember things from over a year ago that she remembers. "Remember when we used to put our laundry by your door. Remember when we went to eat at Chubbys. Remember when I squeezed lemons for lemon juice and it made my hands itchy? Remember when I put my dolls in the freezer? Remember when I zipped my chest? Remember when I threw up pink cupcakes?"
-She lets me know when her toothbrushes are too "thoingy"
-She asked me why Pete's Dragon is called "Peach Dragon" if he is green.
-Her clothes never fit. Size 5 shirts show her belly, but this shirt is size 6. Why?!

We made it to the temple to do some sealings to celebrate our anniversary last month! 
And I loved our ride home. It was a special one talking about answers to prayers. Especially Kasen asking from the back seat, "And what did the mailman's letter say?"

While we were away, patient zero's potent puke continued to spread and infect the world. Kasen and Tai threw up once each and then days later Kohen and Kyle were hit. So were the DeVaney, Gneiting and Day families... It's never ending. Since when is waiting 24 after feeling better not enough? I can't leave my house ever again. 14 people and counting have thrown up in the last 12 days.
7 days after Tai throwing up once, she was up all night throwing up again multiple times.
I told her that Charly was throwing up the same day too and right as she was about to hurl again she said, "And we're both friends". So at least best friends get to puke together, far away from each other! And my best friend of the week is Heidi, who dropped off some food for us. Including cookie dough ice cream! It was Aiden's birthday that day and when we wished him Happy Birthday and told him to eat yummy donuts Tai said she wanted donuts. So Aiden picked out donuts to bring Tai, on his birthday. So sweet.
This right here is probably why this eternal sickness won't end. Kohen insists on putting the barf bucket on his head. That and carry his chicken nuggets around with him while he plays at the park. I don't know how I haven't caught the bug yet, but please let it be over!
