May 29. There was no sleep to be had the first part of the night. As soon as the lights were out and we were in bed, Mr. Rat was back with renewed energy. The first time I got up, I scared him away from the storage closet again. Didn’t know what he was chewing on, but put the vinegar up there again. Back to bed. Try to get some sleep now. No way! The second time, he was chewing away over in the corner near the tall cupboard. I didn’t take time to see what he was chewing on, but I moved the vinegar over there. Back to bed again to try to sleep, but Mr. Rat wasn’t going to allow that. The third time, he was back in the storage closet. This time Daddy got up, too. Rattie had been working at chewing the bottle cap off the sunflower oil, and had gotten quite a bit chewed off around the edges. Okay, put everything with plastic lids into the tall cupboard. Then Daddy put more rat poison out, and also decided to try putting out the glue trap on the shelf where the oil had been. Back to bed again. Try to get to sleep. Soon there was a racket in the storage closet again, but this time it was not a chewing sound. It was the sound of struggling. Yes, the rat was stuck to the glue, and had fallen to the floor in the glue trap. Daddy got up, grabbed a piece of firewood, clobbered the glue trap with the rat under it, uprighted the trap, and finished off the terrorizer. Praise the Lord, we were finally able to get some sleep after that. Very tired today, and slept a long nap this afternoon. Ears and throat are hurting a lot too. After school, I sent a note with Dallas to Nason to see if he could help with some amoxicillin as I have been fighting this for several weeks, and last night it got a lot worse. This evening, Nason came by with a bottle of amoxicillin, and some Panadol too. Had been taking everything else I could think of, but it just wasn’t killing it off. May 30. Was thankful for a good night’s rest last night even though my throat and ears were still hurting. Slept in a bit late this morning and did not go out to the meeting room for lotu. Was very thankful for Sunny’s help after lotu—washing and hanging out clothes, sweeping floors, burning the trash, and refilling the water buckets. While she was working I tried to send C&C’s e-mail, but couldn’t get a connection. Proofread the I Thessalonians outline so it is ready for printing for Daddy to use in his outline class, and then I finished setting up I Thessalonians through Hebrews in another file for Daddy and me to proofread as we are nearly done with James through Jude. Wan came, and then went with Daddy for a walk down to Wanyapeq and back. Sunny had just left when he returned. There was lots of other work to do after that. A meal had to be prepared—carrots (from Marivo) and fish patties today for a little variety. We had forgotten about bread so as soon as dinner was over, I got the bread made up while Daddy went out and took down the clothes. After I set the bread in the pans to rise, I put the dinner leftovers away and cleaned up the table. Was so thankful for a nap. When I got up, the bread was ready to be baked. Lit the oven and then cleaned dishes out of the sink (the fish patties dish and bread mixing dish) while the oven was warming up. Stuck the bread in the oven and also put eggs on to boil for supper. Fixed a fruit snack and ate it while the eggs were boiling. Lots of dishes to do this evening.. Did some printing, too, of lessons that will be needed this coming week for school. Then punched holes and added those lessons to the students’ notebooks. “2Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name; 3Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Jeremiah 33:2,3
