The Fridge

So after Jeremiah went shopping the fridge was stocked with crap (excuse my language). I refused to eat anything that he bought but then Amir only got apples, tomatoes and cucumbers when he went food shopping. I heard that he wanted to pay Jeremiah back for the food that he bought so I am assuming that all of the food in the fridge is up for grabs. The unfortunate part is a) I feel like it is still Jeremiah’s and b) the food is not healthy or good. I have been making do with what has been around me – which is good. It reminds me back in the day when Jonathan and I would stand around the stove and make chocolate sauce on pita since the food was out and Amir was gone. Today’s lunch was good and for dinner I made water in a pot, added chicken bullion, sweet potato (no carrots), mushrooms and the round soup pasta. No egg today as there was no egg in the fridge.

I feel like I have been eating a lot but I mean compared to part of my trip in France and the fact that I am eating frequently that might be why. However, I am not eating a lot at each portion and it is healthy and with the heat I need the calories. I don’t know, it just sounded right.

So the internet is not working as the house that usually has it is getting new flooring put in. Not sure where the connection is but whatever, no internet. It has been a pretty quiet evening but Jeremiah has found the box of crayons and is enjoying the “write on the walls” ability. He wrote some quote next to his bed which I plan to check out later, but he just wrote something on the bunk bed above his. I wonder what it said as he just scratched it out. My favorite quote in the room says “Don’t panic and always being a towel.” I think it is a motto that I used to have and still believe to this day…

It has been getting colder at night. After Jonathan left, I stole one of his blankets, so I am totally able to sleep through the night without being freezing. It definitely feels like I am at sleep away camp or camping in a nicer place then a tent, but not by much. The night that Jonathan and I were freezing and the “heater” sounded like a jackhammer was the last we really messed with the machine. Jeremiah tried to fix it a couple of times, but tonight with no internet, he went all out. He spent a good hour working on it, it was quite comical. It still heats but makes the jackhammer noise (less than before but it is still there). I think he was upset by the whole thing and turned it off and left the room.

Amir informed us that his girlfriend Suzanna would be arriving tonight. I hope that she is nice. She was a volunteer here at the start of the process so it will be nice to meet her and get her input as to how much has changed. Also, it will be nice to have another person as Jackie will be leaving tomorrow. I am not sure is Suzanna will be helping on the farm or if Amir will be busy entertaining her.

So, I know these entries are not too interesting; I cannot help it! There is not a whole lot to do. It is good though, I would not want a tv or anything like that. It forces one to think and find ways to amuse oneself like in the old days. Tonight I played a game, of course it was one of those games that you play with yourself and nobody else really knows about. This is how it went: Jeremiah left the room with his pj’s in hand, as soon as the door shut this let me know that the game had BEGUN! The goal: to change into my pajamas as quickly as possible so that I would be in them before he returned. I was working in record time until I got to my shirt…it was inside out! The turning of the shirt took some time but I managed to win that game. He took a while in the bathroom, I guess brushing his teeth and I don’t know what. So game #2 began. How long will it take for him to notice that I changed my clothes? Would he notice? If he noticed, would he say something? Oh the possibilities…
