Wednesday
Another sick day to add to the collection, I'm feeling much better but still have a bad cough and feel really sleepy. I made the best of my day though. I called the doctor and talked to her about my cough. She just said to check back with her if it does not go away soon. I also went into town for a few minuets to grab some stuff from the store. After that I made dinner and went into bed to watch some movies. It was nice to get all of that sleep.

Day # 229 Raisin Bread
Tuesday,
Despite the fact that I am still sick, I am feeling a little bit better today. I am still not at work because as I discovered trying to walk to the store my lungs where not ready for that. To much congestion and heat does not help with that. Any ways I left the house for the first time in about three days, the fresh air was nice but climbing up hills, sweating out all of the hydration that I worked so hard to build up and the heat is not so good for me yet. I did however get everything that I needed for raisin bread. It amazes me here in Grenada everything has a higher price but the US dollar is worth 3x as much as the EC. SO any ways I was at the store the other day and I was like ooooooo I should get a loaf of raisin bread. Holly cow, I looked at the price and it was $25EC ummmmm no way was I paying that much. So I decided to re test my baking skills and make my own. I think I spent $10EC on all of my stuff. I made three huge, fluffy nice loafs of bread, the house smelled grate and I was exited that I followed the instructions and made some home made raisin bread that will last me like two weeks, I can share it and eat it. That was a grate feeling. Any ways then it was off to bed :)

Day #228 It just keeps coming
Its Monday,
I am still sick. I thought that I was getting better but I have some of the worst coughs, so much goop coming from my nose and running down my throat. People here sad that being sick here was worse than the the US and they where right. As the day went on I was feeling better, but I did spend most of the day in bed agin just relaxing, sleeping and working on my hw for the Peace Corps and finished that so that was exiting. I accomplished one thing that day and that was good for me.

Day # 227 sunday
Sunday
nothing exiting happened today, I took a long nap. I am trying desperately to kick this cold or what ever it is but its hanging on. I didn't do anything all day but rest and try to stay hydrated. A friend of mine came over and made me pumpkin sup with chicken, dumplings and potatoes. It was a bit spice to help open up my air ways. Love that up.

Day# 226 Good buy at the beach
Saturday
I am still sick not as bad as I was the other days of the weeks but it seams to be hanging in me. It was a sleepy morning but I got up and get ready to go to the beach to say good buy to one of the girls. It was hard for me to leave the house I was tiered and coughing up a storm but I needed to go. I brought my umbrella and lathered up on sunscreen. Thank goodness when I got to the beach we where sitting in the sun. Eventually I decided to get in the water and cool off. It felt nice. After the beach we went to one of the local pizza places, I have never eaten their but it was good. I had some left overs, that was awesome I love left overs. When I got home I basically went strait to bed.

Day # 225 dengue fever
Friday 9/6/13
The last five days have sucked I have been sleeping in bed and barley functioning. I called the Peace corps doctor after I started to feel better and then get worse. She told me that due to rainy season it was probably Dengue Fever and that their not much they can do other than recommend I drink lots of water and give me some extra cough medicine for my throat. It s awesome thought that I have amazing health coverage from the Peace Corps. Well back to sleeping and resting. Here is a link to find out more about Dengue Fever if your interested.

Day # 224 Regional safety and security check
Thursdays
The regional safety and security officer for the Peace corps is going around talking to the local people, police and coming to see are homes t do inspections and see of their are any changes that can be made to better protect us in are own homes. I will have you know that they said mine was a model of what they would want to see. GO ME. That makes me feel so good. We talked about some things that we could mention to the landlord to make the surroundings after nothing much. It was nice to see some of the old staff from St. Lucia as well. Any ways after they came and did the inspection I went to lay back down because I am still sick, not feeling much better than yesterday, and it sucks but I am hopping to be all better by tomorrow and for the second week of school. Although it sounds like I wont be their much that week either. More details on that coming up in later blogs.
