Day 47 (wednesday)

Woke up at the usual time today, took some time getting up but made my way to the kitchen and had some breakfast. I took the news in for a few minutes and then came back to my room to watch some tv. I poked around the internerd for a little while and then had a little early lunch (pasta and tomato sauce). I came back to the computer to sort things out and fuss with the blog for a bit. I also spent a bit of time watching the 12 second video of my dog (Zoe's got me crazy). My back has been bothering me quite a bit lately but I don't really mention it to Maureen because she will automatically feel bad. I really have been taking it easy. I did decide to go for a walk and went to gates again to grab some soap and so forth and then walked back being jovial and saying hello to the people looking at me (which is, of course, almost everybody), especially the kids because they get such a kick out of it. I got back, soaking wet as usual, and took some time under the fans in the common room to cool off. From there I was in and out of my room just trying to keep my mind occupied, watching tv, movies, and some football. I had a few snacks throughout the evening and eventually spoke to Maureen (she had been busy doing work in her room and I didn't want to interrupt her). She was about to head to the market but at the last minute decided not to because she thought it might rain. I broke down and asked Maureen to walk on my back and she gladly did and insisted on using this balm as well, needless to say, it felt pretty good. I'll continue to stretch and try to take care of it. A short while later, my sweet housemate decided to bring me a plate of sliced vegetables, formed as a salad with some beans and bread with jam, deluxe. She was also right in calling out the fact that it was going to rain, it is absolutely pouring out there and it is so loud. I woke up at 3 and heard that my team lost and am now having a hard time sleeping. It didn't help that the roosters were hollering at 4.
