Today's my hubby's birthday and I can't believe it, I don't have a gift yet! Well, I ordered him something online but it didn't get here yet. In previous years, I've always thought of something creative, whether it's a trip somewhere, or a surprise dinner, or whatever. But this year, I'm out of ideas. I think Miadora and I will bake a cake for him and surprise him with that.
Got a call from a florist today asking for directions to the house so he can deliver flowers to him. I'm like, I didn't order flowers! No doubt it's from some of the people he's dealing with, but whatever.
Today is a fairly slow day. I have one week off from work, which is good. I can actually do some errands and get organized again. I still have a suitcase downstairs from my trip to California and I need to set aside some of the children's older clothes to make room for the new ones.
Nothing too exciting today. Our housekeeper asked me yesterday if I can help find a job for her neighbor. And seeing how there are several people looking for housekeepers right now, I told her I'd try. Today her neighbor came over and gave me her contact information and a photocopy of her ID. I know how hard it is to find and keep work here in Honduras so I'm going to do what I can to help. I'd like to think I'm a very nice person. I offered that she sit down and have something to drink but it seemed like she felt a little uncomfortable, like she didn't belong there, but I tried my best to make her feel at home. I know that she probably walked a great distance to go to my house so I'm not just going to brush her off.
As I'm writing this, the door is ringing. I bet it's the flowers that I DIDN'T order.
