christmas in mexico

until i have time or energy to really blog about how everything`s been for me in the last... well, forever (don`t worry i`ve been writing a bunch, just never online-- i`ll update once i don`t have to live in internet cafes any longer-- whooa, i wonder what it`ll be like to have my own computer again!?!? brilliant...), here`s a little update about how christmas went for me.

friday: went to a posadas, a very traditional mexican christmas celebration...
saturday: christmas eve-- family came over, lots of good food (at a very late hour), opened presents, ate some more, went to sleep
sunday: felt like crap as i woke up, threw up everything i`d had the night before and that morning, talked with fam on the phone (yay!, the whole gang!), felt homesick, threw up more, tried to sleep but only seemed to throw up and NOT sleep some more, ended up trying to sleep the day away and at about 11:30 pm linda tells me she thinks i should go to the hospital, and that she and alma will accompany me there. we go, i get checked out a little bit, i get put on this machine thing that allows me to become re-hydrated (because apparently i was just about as dehydrated as could be, as a result of not being able to keep ANYthing down me that day) for an HOUR, i felt like i could very well die (and the notion of having to continue thinking and speaking and understanding spanish just about put me over the edge at that moment, i felt like i was good for absolutely nothing in that area-- in fact, i think that tired me out more than anything else!) , but as soon as the hour was up i had rested a little bit (finally), and color reappeared in my face (so they said), and i could see a little more clearly. got to the house, took me some meds, and ended up sleeping quite well after that (thank goodness). whew. feliz navidad, hmm.

so leisha`s idea of traveling a bit in mexico this week may or may not happen. vamos a ver.

alrighty........ that`s about it for now.
hope everyone else`s christmas day was better than mine!!!!! :)
