Today I pulled something in my neck. Ouch! I can barely turn it to the right. A normal day, but had to run to the bank after we picked Ben up from school. On hot days, if I run the car too long it won’t start. This is a problem when I have to run to the bank and then go anywhere else after that. No drive troughs in Brasil as far as I have seen, so I have learned how to park. I have to walk a bit longer but I park on a hill so that my car will roll and I can then put it in second gear, let off the clutch and away we go. I am an absolute pro now at starting a car in second.
Anyway, on my way home from the grocery store I called Rodrigo and he told me that we were going to have family stay the night. I called him to see if he wanted me to bring him lunch but after the news, I went straight home and started cleaning. I organized, did laundry, cleaned, made salsa & cooked dinner for hours. No, this isn’t the first time but it was worse today because I had a kink in my neck. By the time I hit school I was exhausted. Well, at least chores are done and house is clean…but for how long?
