Wednesday, I am really not feeling good, stayed in bed most of the morning. Larry took off to the fish market to get a fish. When he walked through the door he said Merry Christmas and put a lobster on the counter top.
I found a recipe for cooking on line, and sent him back to the market for some limes and a grapefruit (for tomorrow morning). He got the limes ok, but the grapefruit turned out to be an orange.
He wanted pictures of the lobster. The batteries in the camera were dead. I gave him one so he would know what kind to buy and sent him off again. Didn’t bring back exactly what I wanted but they worked.
The only thing I didn’t have was a bay leaf but Ed gave me some to use.
We went to the plaza to see about getting something to eat. I know we just had a lobster but it was only one small one and we shared it.
I really didn’t want to go to a café. I wanted to get something to take home. So I went to the chicken place and bought half chicken that was cooked on a grill and some cooked small potatoes. Larry stopped and bought a fish. It won’t surprise me when he grows gills and fins.
I stopped at a store to see if I could find some Kleenex. Not knowing what to say I pulled out my small packet of Kleenex and showed her the name. She said loud and clear Kleenex, but the rest I Spanish no small boxes. She had just what I wanted.
We ate most of the chicken. I made chicken soup out of what was leftover.
In the evening I made myself a hot toddy. I think it helped my cold. The Mexicans believe that you need to drink warm drinks when you are sick.
Thursday morning and I am feeling so much better. I did sleep in some and didn’t do much of anything. Larry got another fish. I had my soup and hot tea.
I could hear some pounding going on down the street. They were building a stage in the road down by the DIF which is on the next block. They were giving the children a big fiesta Christmas Party. There were two big jumping boxes. The kind that is filled with air, the kids go inside and jump around. They had several piñatas for the kids to break apart. They weren’t filled with candy. The kids were given a bag of candy instead. That way there was no fighting over the candy and everyone got some.
