an explosion

I couldn't go to sleep last night, thanks to a movie that made me think about a lot of things.
I laid in bed for about an hour before I was consciously drifting and near sleep when

SPLATTTT. an explosion.

I heard Priscilla jump out of bed and run 10 feet to Balty's room...he was barfing again.

Three hours later, I was still wide awake listening to the horrible sound of Balty gagging repeatedly in the bathroom. Priscilla was cleaning up the mess called her dad to come pick them up and take them to the hospital. They left around four and came home around five. I was falling asleep just as the door opened.

That being said, it was a day of pure tiredness. Class was alright, we watched a movie. From class, I sprinted down the street to el hogar, where I am supposed to volunteer for 2 hours each Thursday, and more if I can.

It was fun but very eye-opening, tough to explain and pretty stressful for me. I think it will become easier the more I go there, but I should probably go a little more prepared next time. Wearing my hair down as usual was a HORRIBLE idea. I spent about 5 minutes trying to untangle the rats nest that was the left side of my head.

I came home as fast as possible and found Priscilla happily scrubbing down the apartment. Balty was looking good and was eager to share the news with me that he had thrown up four times this morning! Poor guy.

After a lasagna lunch I lazed around for a while, just relaxed and watched a few movies. It felt nice to do nothing for a few hours. Patricio came home for dinner, and again we indulged in lasagna and wine. For desert- delicious ice cream.

GOOD THING LAUREN AND I ARE RUNNING IN THE MORNING.

Until tomorrow,
Lesley
