Eventful day...and I'm beat!

December 2nd, 2007 at 05:17 am

Yesterday, my niece's uncle (married to her aunt on her father's side) was killed...we went to the wake today...so ironic that he was a soldier on one of the "Immediate Reaction Batallions" during the war....survived that and ended a victim of violent crime 20 years later! ...the family thinks they might have tried to steal his car... Frown Please ad the family to your prayers...there's his wife, 2 daughters, ages 21 and 19 and a son, aged 5.... Frown
After the wake, we went to see a friend's new baby..."some are born, some die" as the song says!...in the afternoon went downtown with cousin, but was already feeling emotionally drained...then got a call from the translation company that they had some $$$ for me...so I went and met them at the bank (there's one that's open until 9pm!)...then went to the pharmacy to buy some medicines for Ale, since she's had a runny nose again...then came back home to discover that Ale was running a very high fever (39 degrees)...gave her some medicine for that, also, and put her to bed...I've been monitoring her temp every half hour (I feel like I'm channelling my Mom!)...at least the temp is coming down, and her breathing is normal now...time to check on her again...hopefully, her temp will be normal again and I'll be able to go to bed and get some sleep, too!...her next dose should be at 5:30am...Grandma always said you shouldn't wake a kid up to give her medicines (unless on antibiotics)...

I'm not making too much sense anymore, I know....

    I'm very sorry to hear all that.

    I hope that everyone will be well, including you Maria.

    Please take care.

    Thanks! the crisis seems to be over...I woke up at 7 today and went to check on her and she was cool to the touch...she just woke up (It's 8:30am), and her temp is normal...I gave her the meds (except the one for fever) and she's watching TV now...and I'm printing some pages she needs for a school assignment to be turned in tomorrow...newspapers in America...we had already chosen the material last week, so today is only (literally!) cut and paste...I printed the pictures and the text, she'll cut it and paste it on a piece of cardboard to make a poster...she is also supposed to prepare a presentation...
