We have friends!
And it is wonderful.
Our great and glorious friends from language school (in Costa Rica) are here and it has been so good! Their son and daughter, who are close friends of Mia and Cade have been hanging out with us quite a bit while mom and dad have the incredible privilege of shopping for hours and attending meetings (insert sarcasm - it is never fun, at least in my opinion, to have to buy all your life essentials and do lots of orientation and paperwork all jam-packed into a few days....exhausting). Fortunately they have had a bit of time in the evenings to hang out with us too. They are truly a blessing to have around. We love them!
In the meantime Eric is being a real stick-in-the-mud. A party pooper, if you will. Something about fever, chills, sweats, aches and all that baby stuff. What a whiner. All he does is lie around and sleep.... and change is clothes every few hours because he keeps sweating through everything. He is producing a lot of laundry for me. Awfully selfish, don't you think?
Okay, but seriously, the man is really sick and I am getting a little concerned. He isn't sick very often but this one is a doozy. It started on Friday, our anniversary. I thought maybe he just didn't want to hang out with me for our 16th so he was faking sick.... kidding. Anyway, he has been getting progressively worse over the last few days. Poor little thing (or big, as the case may be). The timing is a bit of a bummer, as our friends are here but at the same time I guess it is good timing since they are both doctors and can give us wisdom about taking care of him. So far we are professionally advised to bring him in to the hospital if it all keeps going on today, especially if it gets worse.
Possibly malaria?
He was in the jungle twice already, so it is feasible. We'll see what happens.
Don't worry if it is.... it is very treatable.
In the meantime, I will mother six children, take care of my infirmed husband, keep the house spotless (as usual) and entertain our guests in the evenings.
Do I have your sympathy?
That's what I am going for....
:o)
