Hello again

Hello to anyone who was waiting for me to finally get this blog going again. :)  It took a couple of days just to get internet.  When we finally did get it I couldn't figure out how to post.  I hope this works now.  So, here is what has happened....Not much really.  Just sickness and cleaning.  Our apartment is actually pretty good.  We have hot water in the kitchen.  (That's a big deal here.)  My only real complaint is how dirty it is.  I've been cleaning intermittently but being sick doesn't help.  I think I must have got sick the moment I stepped off the plane because that is how fast it took for me to start feeling bad.  When I saw the condition of our apartment and how much stuff we needed (towels, dishes, mop, etc) I couldn't take the rest I needed.  So for two days I pushed myself beyond what was reasonable and Thursday night everything got worse.  I had a fever for two days and lets just say not much of my food was..... digested properly.  On Saturday and Sunday it was all I could do to get out of bed and walk to the other side of the apartment.  Sam wasn't so bad.  He had the cold but not the other stuff.  He was able to unpack and wash the dishes we had bought.  He even swept and vacuumed!  The worst part about being sick in a foreign land is that you are in a foreign land!  Nothing is homey or comfortable.  I hear you get sick a lot the first couple of years here. (ack)  Not really comforting but I'm taking my vitamins and trying to get more sleep.  Some new friends heard I was sick and are coming by to visit me today.  That should be encouraging.  I've been feeling cooped up.  On the bright side, Sam got his Wii working so we wont' be bored. :)
