Good News/Bad News

I always like to get the good news first when it comes to these sorts of predictaments. The good news is: my computer is fixed after nearly $300. I'm so happy to finally be able to get some work done at home and at the cafe near myhome. It'll be nice to stay connected to friends and family again. The bad news is that two of my closest friends here in the DR, Kyle and Cindy, are really sick. They were admitted to the hospital this morning and will hopefully be discharged tomorrow. Still no word as to what is ailing them. They're suffering from dehydration and lots of other side-effects from some illness: parasite, food sickeness, dengue, ameobas... Lots of fun options. Hopefully they'll be able to be treated quickly as soon as it's id'd and then released!

On a lighter note: I'm tossing around a different way to share pictures with everyone. Expect complete access to all my photos (that are 'net safe ;)) in the next few days!

I hope your friends are recovering well. By coincidence, just this morning I had read an article that alluded to an epidemic of dengue fever in Puerto Rico and wondered if it hit your locale, also. It is mosquito-borne and is called "bone-break" disease because it causes much joint pain. I guess paradise comes with a price. . . para-price of paradise . . . I'm just weird. Have a great day and weekend.
