I did not sleep well due to congestion… still sick!🙁  We readied and Jeff went out getting bread and yogurt. We then had our Javas with breakfast of French toast with raspberry jam.

The rest of the day was mostly just me recouping. Jeff did go out to the grocery store. He found some instant chicken noodle soup! Yay!! So we had that for lunch with bread. Sooo good! Afternoon became evening… we had roasted, cinnamon/nutmeg seasoned squash with garlic and fresh corn cut from the cob with lime chili seasoning. It made for an explosion of flavors, and worked well together. As I was prepping the corn, some of the extra corn I gave to our host’s pet rooster. He went to town on it!

We watched a couple more Pixar shows- Monsters University and Brave… called it around ten.

We awoke and got around by 0700. I slept decently – only remember coughing a couple of times early on. I’m still congested, but definitely improved – finally!! We got around, stripped our sheets, and gathered our towels so our host could clean them. Then we had our Javas and breakfast of oatmeal with the last of our blueberries. The weather is cool and a bit drizzly as it has been the past couple of days. I’m gonna stay in today as well.

Late lunch/lunner was grilled cheese sandwiches and Greek salad. We watched YouTube – Jeff chose a bunch of retirement stuff, which I appreciate but don’t follow/understand. I get overwhelmed by it quite easily and zone out. Our laundry was returned to us and we made up our bed. We watched other stuff and later we did start another Pixar show – Inside Out – but I was tired out quickly. We stopped in the middle and readied for bed. But as soon as I laid down… all I saw was ROTH, IRA’s, and RPM’s, no – it’s something else, but I could not remember. I was actually frustrated and could not get to sleep until after midnight…

My first awakening thought… it was RMD’s! What??? Really! I still don’t remember what that stands for… 🤔 At least it was not a cough jag that awakened me! Anyway I awoke around 0830, we got up and readied. It was not as cool last night. We had our Javas – using the last of my Jamaican Me Crazy coffee 😢 and then breakfast of leftover veggie stir-fry with eggs and toast.

Finished, we did a video call on WhatsApp with my mother and her husband. Then we watched some YouTube and split a PB&J sandwich to tie us over for late lunch. We linked with our church family back home on ZOOM. Then we had our late lunch of a large sausage, like a bratwurst, on a bun. It was tasty! I blogged as Jeff had a siesta and read. He is starting to get a scratchy throat… I hate that! I gave it to him.

We then talked with my sister and plan on talking with Jeff’s sister. It’s our connecting day.
