Here I am at our new house, typing on the computer for the first time in its new location. Nice blue wall in front of me. Nice sounds of plumbers working on fixing faulty gas lines beside me. We're in but we're still really just camping out here because we've had the gas shut off which menas no furnace, no hot water and no stove. This makes me a little cross-eyed with overwhelmedness but we're making due nicely with space heaters, a microwave, paper plates, and a crock pot. And kind friends and family that are holding us up with all their ongoing help and support. Teresa got really sick in the middle of all this moving, as did I. Mine was the 24-hour stomach bug that's been going around- awful and done quick, and Teresa had a significant worsening of her cold. She's been through a round of tests and examinations and she's being happily medicated for two ear infections and a very congested chest. It's all well that is hopefully ending. Nothing more can go wrong now. I really need us to be moving forward now and no more backwards.
Billy notes that with the computer's switch over today from old house to new there may be a few hours where this site is down, but then it will be right back up! Yeah!
Posted by Bahiyyih at December 28, 2005 02:06 PMSo good to hear that you talked with Layli today. Any memories of Teepee days as you manuever through cold and primitive cookery? I sure love you, Bahiyyih, and feel sad for the bouts of sickness. I'm glad you and Teresa are on the mend.
The last plan I knew was that I'm bringing Khalil down to Chambana on Sunday where he'll stay at the Bishops for a bit. I imagine he'll be available to help out with the settling of the local Bakery (do you know that's what he calls you guys?) while he's looking for work. We're going to look for a mattress for him to sleep on. Is it OK to have it delivered to your new house? We'll talk about it on Sunday. Please hug those amazing children for me.
Much love,
Nana
