a cloud of smoke just went by our house. the machine that was blowing this poisonous smoke was so loud our cat ran from room to room scared. this loud cloud of poisonous smoke to kill all the mosquitoes. the government usually does this when there are reports of dengue fever in a certain area. PRAISE GOD that neither A or i got it, but this smoke is not funny business. i remember the first time we ever experienced this... P and i were in class and the smoke started to seep into the windows of our classroom... soon i was feeling light headed and thought i was going to pass out. here i am in my bedroom feeling a little light headed, but okay for the most part. usually they ask to come into the houses, but today they did not. last time, our helper was smart enough and didn't let them in.
so what does this mean... well they come around to kill the mosquitoes, but i'm not going to out for a while, because what ends up happening is all the bugs... cockroaches and what not come crawling out of everywhere struggling... and so many are found dead in the streets... they just walk around like a drunk and then die.
the worst part of all this... children think it's the best thing in the world this man coming around with all this smoke, so they chase the man... follow him throughout the neighborhoods right behind him. of course probably generations of children have probably done this, so it's probably not a big deal for the people here... oh well.
PRAISE GOD, A is out with Aunt S, Christmas shopping for mom. usually P would take her shopping, even though she doesn't buy, from when she was a baby, they would get things for me together. last year TR did a great job and took A shopping for me without me even knowing. this year i have asked SG to take A for a little lesson on buying for mom too... so she is missing this incredibly exciting smoke.
PRAISE GOD, for a little time to myself. i'm enjoying this time of rest. maybe i'll take a little rest since A is out and i'm alone at home by myself... rarely happens.
