Today was a short day at the Breakfast Program. There was no school, so all of the kids came early. We had the most delicious breakfast! It was rice we got from the stash that the grocery store threw away, beans, a slice of cheese, a tortilla, and a piece of sweetbread. We were all done by 12:30.
Lourdes wanted me to wait until Wednesday to start with the preschoolers. She wants to show me all of the resources I will have to work with, and to rearrange the classroom before we start. We will do that tomorrow so classes will start Wednesday. I had a week focused on Noah's Arc planned. We were going to read the story, then talk about the animals, draw the animals, and draw the first letter of our favorite animals. I think that will be a week long project, so we will start that next Monday.
I talked to Lourdes about tutoring Daniel. She suggested that I tutor him twice/week until I get a car. That feels much more manageable. She suggested that I go to Belinda's today, but then realized I had my computer with me, so she said today is not a good day. I cannot travel alone with my computer.
After getting home early I started to watch a movie but fell asleep and slept for FOUR hours! I feel like I finally caught up on all of the sleep I didn't get last week.
Jetty seems a little lethargic. She is eating well, but she is sleeping a lot. I am thinking of letting her play with the dog that is temporarily staying in my neighbor's house, but then I worry that Jett will be even more lonely when Estrella leaves to move to Guatemala with her owners. I bought a bunch of toys for her. Last night she decided to play with one on top of me while I was sleeping, and sometimes when I come home they are in different places than when I left. But mostly she is sleeping. Maybe she is still tired from last week too. I hope she perks up soon.
I got a shower this morning with plenty of water.
Someone really important must have died. The Roman Catholic church across the street has been singing non-stop since yesterday afternoon. When I took out the garbage last night the enormous church was full and people filled the yard outside. This morning the church was still overflowing with people and I noticed a lot of police there. Fany commented to me about the police too. We don't know exactly what is going on over there. I am obsessed with that church. How do they sing all day and all night, then again all day? What is going on over there?
Time for dinner. I am going to fry a platano and make a cheese/bean sandwich on a delicious baguette. Yummy! Lourdes said I need to eat a LOT so I don't lose weight like I have every other time when I visit. That's an order I can follow :)
