Work Week #2

Tuesday
We are concerned that breakfast just keeps getting earlier and earlier! Sully fears that if we give in today we will be eating at 4am very shortly. What do we do? Do we give in or hold out until 7? Poh says we should hold out but we are currently afraid of getting slapped by Mrs. Leiva. As of right now, we are hiding in our room. Cat is planning on using her extra time to do our standard morning shower consisting of wiping ourselves with wet naps. We will let you know how it turns out.....

Ok, so we held out and everything was ok. We made it to work and our presentation went surprisingly well. We can thank Queen's for giving us great improv skillz.  As we went on to the second half of Tuesday's presentation, all of us contracted Poh's extra long blinks- SO SO hot in the room!

Met an amazing, inspiring (and hot) guy named Jerome with a SCI. He has a hand trike and Rick Hanson's his way across Belize. Also, he could bench press all of us. Also, Poh is stunned by his beauty. Jerome also showed us his car that he adapted to drive himself- so cool!

On way home from work to mitigate the delirium and heat stroke, dehydrated our bodies with half price drinks at the Tavern! Also, they had airconditioning which made our day!

Met Mrs. Leiva's three grandchildren. They are super cute and come every day after school.

Poh continually talks to us about her need to marry Jerome in the near future. She also hope to carry his child.

Good Day!

Wednesday


Our morning stroll to work began with a glowing compliment from Mark: "Wow, your workplace must be very casual."  in reference to our attire (Cat's shorts have been worn everyday for the past 3 weeks, Sully was wearing her poum poum shorts-which will be explained later, and Poh was rocking her sneaks much to her disgust).  Thanks Mark.  The walk continued to be coloured with a guy yielding a sword, letting us know "dat he likes da slim gyals" and Sully especially being offered half-price tours on account of her ging factor.

Got to work and proceeded to present in yet again in 90++++ degree weather, with 20 people crammed in a room with no windows.  Awesome.  Blah blah blah...Jerome gave us "I Refuse to Lose" t-shirts and bracelets...Jenn refuses to lose the battle for his love.

Learned a few Kriol lines and vocab including "Me no no noting bwai!"  and a few odd words here and there including "poum poum shorts" which are bootie shorts that make your bum look extremely famished.  Sulls got told she was wearing these right before she had to present.  Needless to say, she went tomato blotchy red.  Please note, her shorts were not short at all.  However, we are all  on the hunt for these shorts used to win votes in local political campaigns..they are worn by people known as "caliente girls" aka strippers.  Thee you!

Thursday and Friday


Okay so we finally got to do some more home visits with our gyals Inga and Jher. Visited four little ones. all with varying degrees of CP. Attempted to use some shotty OT skills to try and assist them with their seating difficulties. The heat is at an all time high, with our bodies slowly turning into "crispy Canadian back bacon" as Poh so eloquently put it.

Lunch was an adventure as we were introduced to tamales....yikes...made of lots of corn, chicken and some other questionable ingredients. Needless to say we ate about 58 starbursts each post tamales extravaganza. Finished work and decided to go for happy hour at Tropicana with Mark. 2 for 1 beers which was a slippery slope resulting in accidental drunkenness coupled with a scolding from our house mom. Apparently it is more important to be on time for dinner (note: we were 15 minutes late) than arriving home before 5am...go figure. Also we blame this scolding on our good pal Mark, who has been living here for 4 years and knew that we would get in trouble for being late but decided note to tell us that. Dinner was littered with inappropriate drunken laughter sandwiched between cut eye from our mom and Poh making fun of Jon's british accent. Slinked off to bed...

Finally made it to Friday and met Inga at a local school for children with disabilities. Spent the morning being extremely overwhelmed especially when in a classroom of 8 children with autism. Felt pretty useless at times but we tried our best. Had an amazing three course lunch---main course, three different desserts and mango's to top it off! Assembled a PET cart which is a cute little car/wagon which the kiddy propels with their arms...cat got in it and rode around the office. We are trying to figure out how to upload a picture of this. so stay tuned...

Heading to the cayes this weekend to snorkel with the sharks and lounge on the beach so we will have much to update on Monday!

Love
xoxo
