Sickness: Day 7.

Obviously, I didn't post last night. Because I haven't been able to sleep very well lately. I keep coughing all night. It's no fun. So I decided to stop staying up so late blogging and Skyping.

Yesterday, I woke up at 11. Ate breakfast with Alwina. The boys were at her mom's house all day, so Alwina and I went grocery shopping by ourselves. It was nice. I didn't talk much, because I still sound like a man, and whenever I talk, I cough. After we were done grocery shopping, we went into town to buy some postcards for me and some school supplies for the boys. We stopped at a bakery/cafe for lunch and I got PIZZA! It was soooooo good :) Last night while Alwina and Wilhelm went to church, I stayed home, watched a movie, and went to bed early. Even though I couldn't fall asleep until about 3 am because of my coughing. Bleh.

Today, we had to be up by 8:30, because we went to Wilhelm's brother's house for breakfast. I was feeling awful, of course, due to lack of sleep. I'm glad I forced myself to go, because Xenia (Wilhelm's brother's wife) was so sweet and nice the whole time :) And they have a daughter named Julia who is an absolute doll! After we left their house, we came home, hung out, ate lunch, and resumed our English lessons (with a new addition - Julian, Alwina's 11-year-old brother). Today we finished learning the furniture around the house. They all drew a map of their house and labeled the furniture inside. After the lesson, we drove to Alwina's parents and I got measured for a skirt that her mom is going to sew me (yay!). Then we (Alwina, her mom, Levin, and myself) went for a walk. It. Was. Splendid. I took lots of pictures (which I'll upload later) and enjoyed myself immensely. Then we picked up Wilhelm from work, came home, had dinner, and Alwina, Levin, and I went for ANOTHER walk. I like going on walks here :) After we got home, we did family devotions (Psalm 17), and now I'm sitting in bed with Alwina's newest homemade remedy on my chest and back. It kinda smells like cinnamon and apples. Mmmm. haha It's just a little weird that it's on my body and not in my tummy...hmmm. We'll see how this ends.

More later!

PSS: I miss our talking already! Wish you weren't so busy with your job right now. You know who you are!
