Siesta is pissing me off. Jet lag finally caught up with me, after an entire week of not sleeping for more than 3 hours--it hit me all at once that I was utterly exhausted. Luckily, since my bags arrived yesterday (Thursday) I was able to unpack warm bedding and clothes. A’s mom had given me sleep aids (Melatonin and 5HTP) and after taking one and talking to A, I fell into a much needed sleep coma. I don’t officially start teaching til Tuesday, so this morning I wasn’t really needed around school. Pilar said I could come in around 11:30 to have lunch with the other teacher’s if I wanted, but I ended up sleeping in til 12:30. Will finished and came home around 1:45 with his daily baguette and a couple random groceries (chorizo, chicken breast, mandarin oranges) and we decided to make pasta.
I was really hungry because I had tried to cook some of the oatmeal my mom had sent with me, but I couldn’t figure out the microwave as the images on the keys don’t really make sense. Anyways, we cooked penne noodles and then added a pretty blase pasta sauce, a step up for Will because before he was just eating plain tomato paste. It’s pretty disgusting, but he doesn’t mind it so much. We went into the TV room and gave in to watching Spanish news, they have been covering the nieve (snow) in Granada for 2 days now. Then there was a special on porn, pretty graphic images--caught us both off guard for a lunch broadcast. It ended with a story about Spanish bikers that had to stop ever 100km because their hands were getting too cold--they looked like rugged American bikers, but foreign. Pretty surreal, google it for entertainment if you want. At that point I finished my fanta zero and gave into the hebetude (word of the day from the calendar A gave me) of the day and climbed back into bed to finish watching “Everafter” and nap, since that is all you can do from 2-5:30 PM.
