Sat, 21 Jan
up and helped feed the cats again with Alex and Eddi; then put Hiccups in the cat carrier and walked him down to the vet. the vet took one look at him and said, 'i can take care of that right now'. he returned with a pair of forceps, we held the cat, and he yanked the tooth out. told us to continue with the Amoxicillin 2x/day and sent us on our way. nice to have a vet right here on the island; even if it is only occasionally.
while Eddi was out yesterday, she returned saying she had a guy that would help us with the roof. .... and we didnt' have to pay him. way to go Eddi ! so we met Manuel at 10:30am to get started on the roofing project. we all walked to the hardware store and bought sheets of roofing, nails, and had them delivered. we actually followed the 'delivery golf cart' to the house, unloaded. then walked to the 'lumber yard' and had them deliver the wood on the 'delivery bicycle cart'
then it was time to eat ... i thought i should feed my help ...
next to the other hardware store to by regular nails. back at Madi's we started on the roof; and in an hour or so Manual had the roof on the first (and easiest) structure. that's him at the top.
it was around 4pm and time to feed the cats, so we quit for the day. Manuel wanted to fix dinner for us, so he and Eddi went to the market and i actually got to work on a scarf!!!!!!!!!!! time is getting short here, and i've not done a very good job of painting on those scarves ... and it's starting to stress me out.
at Manuel's i walked downstairs to the store and bought rum and the mix (coke, water, and pineapple juice). we sat outside on a 'porch' while he prepared his 'fresh salad'
all fresh veggies with lime juice and sea salt. God, i hope i don't get sick from this ..... :( he asked us if we we wanted him to put a habanaero pepper in the salad. we both said yes. ...... oh my ... Eddi and i were both speechless as we sat there, with our mouth's on fire ..... it took about 1/2 hr, but finally it stopped burning ... again, i hope i don't my stomach doesn't act up with this meal. i wouldn't have normally eaten this type of fresh uncooked food ... but he wanted to fix a meal for us .... soooo ... i ate it .. and it was delicious
Manuel is a very nice man, ... he is Mexican, .....sometimes when you talk with other nationalities, they don't get some of the jokes or comments. (and i'm sure we miss all of theirs) ... but he never missed a one . ....we laughed a lot. ......interesting guy....
came back home and finished a scarf !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...and i like it :)
got to bed at 1:30am :(
