Still Kicking

I haven't seen the kids much in the past week as I spent most of the time trying to get work done at home and a video uploaded at an internet cafe. I saw them last, last Friday when we held another movie night at the center.

This time we watched The Tuxedo with Jackie Chan. ...however, that's a really dumb movie. So then I loaded an early Jet Li movie, Fist of Legend and jumped around to the fighting parts. They giggled at The Tuxedo but gasped and cheered the big scenes from Fist of Legend. They were totally engrossed, in fact, during the final fight when you're lead to believe that the hero may actually fail, not just once, but twice before the fight is done. They loved it.

I thought we'd watch another movie this weekend but I've been sick since early Friday evening. The doctor at the hospital diagnosed my fever, earlier dizziness, sore and swollen thoat as tonsillitis. When I said my tonsils and adenoids were removed as a child, he simply smiled and said, "They don't normally remove all of the tonsil". What do you say to that? At least I did get him to look into my throat.

We tested me for malaria, just to rule it out, and now I've got some antibiotics and a medication for this tonsillitis. This a recipe for a fine Valentines Day celebration with your lady does not make... but, anyway, we do what we can, yes?

We've gone shopping (as the Shoppers Plaza Supermarket is just down the road from the hospital) and purchased some chicken, onion, veggies and aloo stuff for a dinner and movie in tonight.

More soon on what I've been up to (other than swooning). Siku Njema!
