Monday October 8/12 update

Up at 3am again, this is getting monotonous!   Work until 6 and then toss and turn until 9:30.  I half-wanted to skip doing groceries today but got off my keester  and at least went to Coral.

I ran into Jesus and his wife from Big Kabuda’s at Coral and chatted for a bit.   I was mainly after meat today and got a nice Lomo Fino (Filet Mignon) for $8.62 that I cut up into 4 hearty meals for later.   I was shocked that the pork tenderloin was 50% more expensive and totalled $16.80 but that made into 5 more delicious meals for later.   I cooked one small medallion to have with my salad for lunch and it was superb!

I then wandered off to AAC, not knowing what to expect and who would show up.  Richard and Cathy were off to Quito and Heidi said she was ready with some home-made play-dough for the kids.  We usually reserve Mondays as a day Christine will show up to do art with the kids but we never heard a peep and she didn’t show up.  Tom and Linda had some Christmas craft stuff but that will be held off until Wednesday.  Myself, Chris, Phil, Ron, Jolene, and Mariuxi rounded out the crew.  Heidi and her kids, Keefe and Aidan, led the kids in learning the hokey-pokey.   The kids were given the play-dough and we asked them to make an animal or two.  A couple of the kids were really good at it but the rest mostly did everything but.  The good thing is the kids were quite well-behaved today and things went well.

Miguel was to show up later but that didn’t happen either.

I had a meeting scheduled to help the Hearts Of Gold Foundation but that has now been delayed until Thursday, and even possibly next week now....

I was so bagged when I got home I only had hotdogs because I didn’t want to spend the time cooking anything fancier.

That was today’s excitement.   Please see all photos at souvenircuenca.blogspot.com.  Hugs to all.
