We’re hung out to dry
Like the laundry
THE LILAC TIME
I called in sick again today. I stayed on the top bunk for most of the day. I did go outside twice with Ezra and Viena to try and visit the local markets on the street, but they were closed because today is Sunday. I remember back in the day when markets used to be closed on Sunday in the United States. Now most markets in the US selling meats, milks, bread, and eggs are open on Sundays. Where did the day of rest go? No problem though, we had enough food left in our big deluxe refrigerator. I think this is the first brand new big size refrigerator that I have purchased and I am glad we have one here in Brasil. We started out without a refrigerator in hot Bali, but we were young and fresh back then and full of adventure. Now some cold chilled water sure is nice, and popsicles. The day dripped on slowly like a thawing icicle in late winter. André came by for a quick visit before heading back into the sunshine. No sunshine for me today, hopefully tomorrow. I read Ezra and Viena some books. Dwana tried to take care of all of her little and big ducklings. She made a garbanzo bean soup that I finally tried late in the night when my hunger had returned a bit. The trouble is I did not sleep at all last night. I usually am a pretty good sleeper, so I hope all is well. Last time we were in Brasil for the first time I would always have a fever that would last 3 days and then go away for a week and then return. Dwana discovered that I bought her “fabric softener” instead of laundry detergent, so we have been wearing really soft but dirty clothes. Certainly is nice having a washing machine. We did not have one of those in Bali, but we did not need one since we could just walk 100 meters and have all of our clothes washed, dried and folded for about $2-3 dollars. This must be the week of the tear and the day of the joke.
