Day 1237. Since I'm writing this report a few days later, it will not be as detailed as usual. We had set the alarm for 7 am. Randy made oatmeal, but the kids ate barely anything that early. We got everything ready for our departure at 8:30. Just after 8 am Sonja arrived who we hadn't seen in over a month.

Day 1236. This morning Sammy woke up first, not Emmanuel, and it was only 7:30. At 8:20 my phone rang. It was the company IKEA had given the job of replacing our kitchen counter tops. Another kitchen problem had come up last June, and it took them months to fix it.

Day 1235. This morning I set my alarm for 8:30, as Christine (Caritas) was coming at 9 am. I had gone to bed at 2:30, and it always takes me a little while to fall asleep. As you can imagine, I was pretty tired this morning and had to force myself out of bed. The kids were having breakfast, when Christine arrived.
