Monday. The kittens are still thriving and happy in Liesl’s room. They’ve never had so much attention and so many toys as they do now and they seem to be very happy with all of the soft surfaces to sleep on. They’ve taken over.
Very busy work day today. I’ve got so many projects in motion, it’s absolutely crazy. I’m feeling a bit exhausted.
The girls moved into the game room this afternoon and hung out together all afternoon. Liesl played Hades on the computer while Luciana used the Nintendo Switch to play Animal Crossing while they snuggled with the dogs.
Marcela was feeling really sick today, as she has been for weeks. I went down to check on her and to bring some food down. We tried to watch a movie but only made it about ten minutes before she needed to go to the hospital. She basically has a cough so strong that she coughs until she vomits and because that’s been going on for three weeks it’s just become a pattern and she can’t keep food or liquids down for any length of time. So she is just getting weaker and weaker from lack of nutrients. She’s not sleeping great, either.
So we finally got out the door around eleven and run to Managua to get her to her hospital at Militar. Thankfully that is on our side of the capital. Roads were clear and traffic was really moving so it took just over an hour and a half to drive her to the hospital. I went it and got her checked in and made sure that she got through triage and then left her and got back in the car and raced back home so that I could arrive before I fall asleep.
It was just a little after two or two thirty in the morning when I pulled into the house. The girls couldn’t believe that I was back already and thought that I hadn’t even gone. They thought that I would be gone all night. I made great time.
I’ve been reading “So You Want to Be a Dungeon Master” via Audible while driving, which really helps to keep me awake.
