6:47 p.m. India Time
It is hot. Not much exciting happened today. The M.C. has fallen sick, and has a high fever, chills, and body aches. This evening the family finally took him to the doctor and came home with some medicine.
All afternoon he mostly lay on the couch and slept. Anni, her hubby, the Monkey, and I played Monopoly. Anni had never played American Monopoly before, only British Monopoly. The kids even have an Indian version of Monopoly here, but I haven't played that one yet. A's hubby had the most money, by far. This seemed odd because he only had the four railroads, Baltic Avenue and Mediterranean Avenue. Even though those last two are the worst properties on the board, he had a hotel on each of them, so he would make $250 everytime someone landed there. We landed there a lot.
Anni and her hubby had to head out tonight for Australia, and so we said goodbye. Before they left, they took blessings from Aunty and Uncle. They knelt down before them at the prayer cabinet, and Aunty and Uncle prayed and put the tikka on their foreheads. They also blessed Anni's thaali (wedding necklace.) It was very lovely. I hugged them both goodbye. They are both so wonderful. I am going to miss them!
I am feeling so hot and sweaty that I may take my bath early tonight. I'm also going to remember to put on bug repellent, because I was bitten by a mosquito last night, and I have a sneaking suspicion he's going to come back and bring his mosquito friends.
I am feeling sort of limp and hard to manage, like an overcooked noodle, so I'll sign off for now. I'll write more when there's something good to write. Most of you will be starting your day soon, so have a good one. I'll see you soon.
Until then, be good.
