You know it’s time to leave Quaker House when… February 28, 2010

Filed under: Uncategorized — nicakate @ 12:22 pm

…it’s 7:15 in the morning, you are fast asleep and the phone rings.  You have to bust through two locked doors and dodge several out of placed rocking chairs to answer it in time.  Only to find out that some one who said they would be arriving at noon will be arriving in 20 minutes. Ugghhh… FINE, I won’t sleep in today.  So you decide to make yourself your last cup of free Quaker House Coffee, but the dish drainer is piled so high if you breathe, everything will come a crashin down.  Even though you weren’t here are all day yesterday and you know exactly who it is that thinks that if they wash the dishes they are off the hook.  Because those same people got you all tangled up this morning when you tried to get to the phone and you knocked a huge power chord off the counter with a crash and their mess of wires from chargers and adapters made you feel like a crazy person.  You look around you and you see that even though they have only been here for two days, the place already looks like they’ve taken over.  Because they have.  Now, you’ve already turned on the coffee machine but you have to push start two more times to make sure all the water goes through.  And where is your cereal?  You just bought a box.  Oh, is that it over there, adopted by the other guests who have imagined that they bought it? Ah yes.  That’s the one.  Ring ring ring!!!! “Good morning, Quaker House… del hospital Lenin Fonseca, 5 cuadras al lago, 75 varas arriba, casa 14 … pues aquí estamos, la casa no se ha mudado… ¿cómo?…alo? alo? uggghhh HELLO?!” Slam! Damn coffee maker. HONK HONK! And there’s guest number one. Of three today.  And then I’m bustin out! HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF.

So this also means that I’m going to be out of range of the internet for a while, except when I’m at school or make a specific trip to the cafe with wi-fi.  Therefore, to give you all an idea, here are a couple of pictures of the new house!

Walking up the stairs to the front door

Looking at our front gate from across the street

Instead of a car, right now we have a kiddie pool
