So tomorrow night it's time to leave for the beach. I was pretty scared there for a while that we weren't going to get to go because I got strep throat and have been pretty sick for a few days. Since the deposit and bus tickets are non-refundable, Forrest said, "I was thinking maybe if you don't get better we can give the trip to another couple as a gift." I said, "NOOOOOOOOO!" I guess I forgot all that about 'more happiness in giving' when it came right down to it. So I centered all my will into getting better (and stepping up the dosis *dosage?*) and I am beginning to feel a little better tonight!
Since I've been trapped inside for 4 days now, I was enjoying just looking out the window at my neighborhood for a while. And I came to a realization! The Peruvian culture is beautiful, and I love the people. Sometimes when I'm so in the middle of it all without a break I start to get really cranky about the differences.
Looking out my window....
Normally something holds me back from letting you people know of anything bad that happens here, unless I can make it in some way upbuilding, or if I learned some lesson from it. But I just have to say, we have had a BAD week! I'm not even talking about getting sick. We've received a shocking blow that's left me confused and discouraged. And it's not even the kind of thing you can ever complain to anyone about, so now I ask myself, "Do I even feel relieved to have said that much?" and I remember why I don't usually do these kind of rants: this is turning into a 'me and my woes' blog and I'm going to lose my 2 readers! But we're already adjusting and moving on, and when we're perfectly adjusted balanced mature adults this will be something that made us that way, and I admit it. There I go, turning everything all positive again.
