Escaping the jaws of death

---

On Saturday I woke up and checked on my compatriot. She opened the door looking more disheveled than usual. I told her so, and she said that she had the highest fever she has ever had in her life and she is basically on her death bed. She said she had cooled off and touched my hand, she was on fire. We were supposed to meet Samuel that day to help with shopping. She gave me a list of things to do: email her husband, buy water, buy crackers, buy bananas, buy 1 coffee pot, 8 baskets, and 10 of these little furry things. I emailed her husband and got the water, crackers and bananas right away. Samuel and I spent the next few hours getting the rest of her list. She came out to join us for dinner, sat down for a second and then said, “I gotta go” and went back to her room. Now she is feeling a lot better, though she wants to blame the sickness on malaria and I am not buying what she is trying to sell. This is her second time feeling sick. Neddy has had some stomach problems as well. I have felt fine. Knock on wood.

Well I hope it's because you are careful and use common sense and a hand sanitizer. Perhaps Guatemala was a test. Glad to see your compatriot is on the mend
