Today was a good day. It was draining as I am still not feeling right. I am trying to eat healthy - lots of garlic, onions, fruit, tea, etc; and trying to get more sleep, take vitamins, medicine, etc. I am trying REALLY hard not to over-do it since this illness feels eerily similar to when I got so sick for so long with pneumonia while I was at language school in Costa Rica. I was cautioned by the doctor then, that, once you get pneumonia, it is much easier to get it again. This time I am being more cautious, proactive, and taking antibiotics right away. It seems to be helping, but slowly.
Today, I had to run several errands as tomorrow is Good Friday, a national holiday here in Argentina, followed by the weekend, followed by a visa renewal trip on Monday. I had to get the bills paid before they would be late by the time we get back from our trip. I did as much walking as possible to get some exercise, fresh air, and see how my lungs were feeling. It went ok, but I was amazed at how tired it made me. The good news: I did the walking, finished the errands, and still had the strength to keep going all day long without having to lay down and rest for a time. THAT is good news!
Heather is at the church tonight helping with the worship, so I got the opportunity to stay home with the kids and spend time with them. Jonny was exhausted and starting to lose it emotionally by 8, so I got him into bed. Aliana followed at 8:30 & Nate and I stayed up having a little "older son time with Dad time" playing Mario Cart until 10 pm. After they were all in bed I started working on catching up on line. This is the earliest I have posted an on line journal entry in a long time. : )
Well, Heather just got back home (11:18 pm - early by Argentine A/G service standards : ) and so I am going to wrap this up and spend time with her. : )
Good night all & God bless
Gracia, perdon, y el favor del Senor sean con ustedes -
