Least eventful day yet. Went to
Magaly's with Andrea, where she worked on a powerpoint that she had
to finish for class. I
called the church to ask Julio about the 'andamios'-- the risers for
painting (FINALLY remembered the word!), and he said he'd talk to
Santi when he arrived and that Santi'd give me a call. By the time it
reached 1pm, though, I was feeling drained enough to be already set
on lounging around with Magaly and Fany, the former still recovering
from surgery, and the latter having taken a little fall the previous
day that'd given her a sore arm and hip. So though Santi didn't call, we passed the rest of the
afternoon in the big bedroom, them in the bed, me in the recliner,
watching vacation slideshows, listening to tranquil music, and then
watching a dubbed-over 'Lie to Me' and soap operas. Well, I wasn't
really watching so much as snoozing. I was trying not to touch anyone
and warned the family away from giving me the greeting kisses when
they got home, which seemed strange to them-- I thought back to
sociology class, how sickness can be a cultural phenomenon. Anyway,
once the family all crowded into the main bedroom, I snuck off for a
nap in the boys' room until it was time to go home. Though they
insisted that I keep a jacket on all day and sleep under a mountain
of covers, I just couldn't-- overheating is one of my worst
discomforts-- so I did my own lil thang, downed some herbal tea and
nyquil (SO glad I remembered to bring it-- it's not an international
phenomenon!), and am feeling much better this morning.
Still planning on taking the day off to watch the old movies I
brought from home, at least until it's time to go tutor. Hope to be
feeling better by then.
