Sunday

I finally got out of bed today and went to church.  I've had a horrible migraine that will not go away.  I hope maybe tomorrow...  Fany has been checking in on me.  I had migraines once before here.  It's strange, whenever I get migraines Fany's husband has them as well, so tonight I tried allergy meds, just for the heck of it because nothing else has helped.  Maybe allergies are the reason we both have been complaining of migraines at the same time.

Friday I got out of bed long enough to do a little photo shoot for Fany's daughter, Laura.  We took a bunch of pictures of Laura and posted them on Facebook so family can see how Laura has grown.

At church today they asked me to take up the collection.  That was really nice.  It made me feel like an official member of the church since I have never done it before.  I also enjoyed that one of the Moms from Los Pinos whom I don't know very well chose to sit next to me.  She is the mother of some of my favorite kids.  Her daughter, Cindi, is in preschool.  Her son, Christian (Conejo) stole my heart years ago.  She knows I adore her kids.

After church we all bought soup and sat and ate together.  The soup had tripe in it, which I have avoided until now.  Today I ate it and it was good!  But then my headache kicked in.

Karla brought Dana Sophia and Valery over today so they could "know" my cat.  That's how you say it in Spanish.  Now they know Jett.  She was so good for them.  She didn't hide.  She played and let them pet her.  She is a good example for people who don't know much about cats.

As they were leaving Karla said listen.  We heard a parade coming.  Yesterday was Independence Day in Honduras.  I thought maybe this would be another Independence Day parade.  It was only a couple blocks from my house.  But Karla said it was a political parade.  Sometimes political activities can be violent, so I didn't go check it out.

After Karla left I fell asleep.  Now I'm awake long enough to drink some water, take some Benedryl and get caught up on this.  I am praying that the Benedryl will work and my head will be better by tomorrow because Lourdes has Mondays off from now on, so I will be running the breakfast program.

I talked with my possible future landlord.  The house in the mountains has hot water, which I have never seen in a house here.  It also has a balcony off the bedroom!  I told him I would really like to live in the mountains.  He said he would like for me to rent the house, but he is not sure when it will be done.  I am supposed to go see the house soon.  Maybe Friday.  I like where I live now, but I would love to live in the mountains!
