no altitude sickness…but altitude tiredness

September 21st, 2009 by Rosi Alvarado

I lose my breath walking up the stairs. I get tired after 2 hours of work. Ugh.
Anyway, had a meeting today and went to project to work. I am working with kids 0 to 5 in extremely awful conditions. They are the cutest little people ever and they immediately showered me with hugs and kisses. WIthin minutes, they were all jumping all over me. I signed up for double and triple shifts for the week. GOnna try to do as much as I can in my limited time. I think right now I´m emotionally exhausted.
I´m going home now for a nap. Dinner will be in a couple hours and I don´t want to miss that.
Oh..for the foodies…I had mashed potatoes and chicked with a green sauce for lunch…with a side of rice. I´m lovin the starch heavy meals. Delicioso!
That´s all for now….goodnight.
