Day Off

Today was a bit of a surprise day off. We KNEW we had the day off, we hadn't remembered. We don't go to ASELSI the first Thursday of every month because a pair of local doctors covers that day. Since Semana Santa was the first week of the month, the Drs. Valilla are at ASELSI today and we're here at home.

We have some workers in the house doing a bit of an improvement project, but we're just hanging out.

Jake, on the other hand, has been uncharacteristically busy. He's eaten three lizards and a rat that we've seen so far. Watching that cat is pretty entertaining. You just wonder what's going through his mind. And if we think THAT'S entertaining, wait until we have a kid running around! (Guess that's what happens when you don't have TV.)

Heidi had one surgery scheduled yesterday but the patient didn't show up. Another patient arrived in clinic who NEEDED a surgery, but waffled on whether to do it yesterday. She was supposed to come back to the hospital today, but we haven't heard anything about her yet. (Both are molar pregnancies. Waiting is not really the best course of action.) But what can you do? We can't go kidnap them.

Tomorrow, Heidi is back at the hospital and Matt will work some more in the studio. The weekend is in Canilla with the Fickers. Monday is clinic in Chinique, then we drive to Guatemala City to fly to the US on Tuesday for Ken and Suzy's wedding.

At least, you're not watching paint dry or making household knick-knacks from leftover dryer lint.

Cats and children ARE very entertaining! Glad you are able to find humor in simple things. Not that you are simple-minded.....ummmm....I mean,...ummmm....you have evolved into intelligent beings who can analyze actions and conciously release the endorphines that causes laughter and smiles.

Uhhhh......I better go now. I've given myself a headache with all that thinking! Leigh
