November 9. A lovely morning of sunshine. Went outside for only a few minutes mid-morning as there was a cool breeze blowing and I’m still battling a cold. Was thankful to be feeling somewhat better today. Mostly the nose is a nuisance as it won’t quit dripping or sneezing. We were thankful that the Lord sent bananas our way early this morning. I was prepared to just have popo and currant syrup on my pancakes, but was delighted to be able to have a banana too. After breakfast and quiet time and a little time to crochet, most of the rest of the day was spent trying to get the notes organized for the October progress report. It was such a crazy month, it was hard to know what to include and how. Finally finished that late this afternoon. I did take time out late morning to prepare a pot of rice and some uxai for dinner. We had a little bit of casserole left over, but not quite enough for a meal for two so added a bit of uxai and rice to our plates. Later, I added tuna to the rice and put it away for the next few days. There is plenty of uxai left for a few days also. In our music class, we have been studying rock music and CCM and the demoralizing effect they have on a person. We can see right here in Owena how Satan is using it to destroy the lives of the young people. It is very sobering and I urge the parents to teach their children what they are learning. November 10. We seem to have a new breed of rats around—more aggressive, more active, more destructive. Nothing seems to stop them, except death, we guess. They just keep coming, one right after the other. As soon as one passes off the scene, another one comes. We assume they’re dying anyway—after three nights of poison, a rat is usually done for. They make all kinds of rat-cket, chew on things, race all over the house, knock things over, and even steal things. They’re just small rats, but they don’t just steal little things. The bottle lid that we used to put the rat poison in went missing. A rag that was on the floor to catch water from leaks when it rains went missing. Who knows what else? Enjoyed my morning lemon drink and Bible reading. Then a smoothie and prayer time and crochet time. I was just about to go and fix some rice cereal for the rest of my breakfast when Nuanda came along. He had some papers he needed photocopied for some business related to the health center. But he also stayed and talked quite a while, so it was late before I got to the kitchen to fix cereal. Since the rice cereal takes longer to cook, I decided to have oatmeal instead. After that, it was time to burn the trash. Then the bed had to be made before I finally got to the computer. Proofread the progress report, transferred the October pages to the word file, and then put it on a flash drive to attach to an e-mail in the ACER. From the ACER, I put the September bank statement in a word file and copied it to a flash drive to go into the HP so I can print out a copy. Attached the progress report to an e-mail for Pastor Ogle and got as far as the salutation when I realized it was already 11:30. I wanted to fix a pumpkin for dinner as we only had rice and uxai. Went to get the pumpkin out of the cupboard, but had a hard time because of all the bananas in the way. Decided to do some rearranging so it would be easier to get to things I need, and that ended up being a bigger job than I expected. Then Kaipo came to the door with cucumbers and popo, and I was called to go check them over and see what was good. So it was already close to noon before I got started preparing the pumpkin. It was just a small one and easy to prepare so by 12:15 it was on cooking and was done within ten minutes. So we got ready to eat. Daddy warmed up a plateful of rice and uxai. I ate some pumpkin and them warmed up a plateful of rice and uxai. This afternoon while Daddy was teaching his first couple classes, I got a short e-mail written to Pastor Ogle, had a fruit snack, and filled the washing machine so it is ready for Judy to wash clothes in the morning.
