When Men Get Sick

Poor Allan has been feeling under the weather for three days. We aren't sure if he caught a bug or not, but he has had terrible, wrenching waves of pain in his lower abdomen. Plus, he has been spending most of his time in the bathroom, not getting much sleep, and looks like he has been dragged through a knot hole. Tonight he went to be at 1730 hours and we are hoping he gets a good nights sleep.

In the next few days, we will begin working on the list of things that need to be done on the boat. Just the usual boat maintenance stuff. Bottom painting, and we have to clean the deck as well. She needs to look like she is loved. She is loved on the inside, but to go out and work in the heat is keeping our motivation at bay.

I didn't have any chicken to make him chicken soup, but I did make a nice spicy spaghetti sauce and Allan felt well enough to eat a good supper. If anyone knows how I cook, I can't cook small portions. Like tonight, I made enough spaghetti to feed everyone at a TGIF night at the DYC. I also sent a big bowl over to the boat beside us. They are young guys, probably high school boys, from Sweden who are spending their summer on the boat which is sponsored by the Government of Sweden. It's amazing to see how much they have matured just in the last few weeks. They are very polite and even ask me if they can get me anything at the store when they go. Oh, back to the spaghetti sauce....I had enough to freeze for two or three more meals.

Something else a little off topic....we found another dead dog in the water today. The Taiwan's have been given notice by the police to leave the domestic animals in the area alone. They actually chase the dogs and cats in the area for their own consumption. Man, I hope I am never that broke, or that hungry.

Well, that's it for today. I should go check on Allan to make sure he is still breathing. We both agreed today that although Trinidad is not the best place to be holed up in, at least we are together, and we like each other. That's a bonus!! Be safe everyone, we are thinking of you.
