07/February/2015, Day 038. Saturday.
Sweetie and Grump were still fighting with this infernal crud today, but finally it appears they might actually be starting to get a teeny bit better. HOORAY!!
I guess the exciting news is that we bought something cool that we really couldn't afford, namely, a new iPad, with hard protective case, (to keep it safe from the ravages of Kuya, and eventually Dodong). It set us back almost $700.00, and once the credit card bill arrives you can bet that Grump will be having a fit. But I have to say that it is really, really, really cool; Sweetie and Kuya are just digging the heck out of it.
Lola made dinner tonight: overcooked veggies and dried fish! Well, at least Grump thought the veggies were overcooked, and Sweetie kinda agreed. Sweetie really is quite an excellent cook, but Lola helps us so much with everything else that when she wants to cook, we have to humor her. Fortunately its only once or twice a week.
The sad part about dinner though was that the overcooked veggies were some bitter melon and eggplant that Grump, Sweetie, and Dodong had driven all the way to Warner Robbins early in the day to buy, at the Filipino grocery store there. Bitter melon when it's cooked right is pretty good. When it's not cooked right, well, it's pretty bitter!
Later in the day Grump and Sweetie went for the shortest of walks, just around our neighborhood. Grump was exhausted! He can't wait for this silly illness to run its course and GO AWAY!
