painting day

Today I woke up and grabbed breakfast at Tirupati. A bananan pancake of course. Corina wasn't feeling all too well this morning and although today was a thursday, a day off for volunteers, we were planning on going to Daya Dan to continue painting. Corina didn't look too well so I told her to stay back and get some rest, while I went to paint today.

I arrived at Daya Dan and it was interesting coming there on a thursday, only the masis were with the kids and although when I arrived all the sisters were together hanging out with the children, the majority of their day they spent in prayers. I actually only saw them for about 30 minutes out of the day today and the rest of the day they were praying or doing something else on the second floor. Which is pretty intense if you think about. I started to sketch out a boy sitting on the moon and fishing, than began painting. Mongol stayed with me for awhile while I was painting and kept me company. I finished painting the moon, the boy that was fishing and a fish he caught, and the sail of my other ship and the faces on the two people on that ship. I took a break sometime in between and had lunch made by the masis, then continue on painting. Later in the afternoon Megha came downstair and kept me company. I gave her a bottle of aroma therapy lotion that was citrus scented and she absolutely loved it. "oOOI, Very nice. I like, this is very nice uncle. You're a very nice uncle. " hahaha. She's so funny I love that gal. She loves a lot of girly things so it's easy to get her gifts that she'll love. Actually all the kids love things that smell good. Mongol loves Johnson Oil and I got him some, I've been meaning to give it to him but keep on forgetting to give it. His face lights up everytime I mention it or when he ask about it.
Well the MC sisters were extremely nice and courteous to me today, like always, but they kept making sure I had everything I needed. And gave me the greatest compliments on the paintings. When I was finished with painting they made me a cup of chai... chai is where it's at. I seriously am going to bring back Tea Time when I get back into the states. We're totally missing out.

Well, I got back on sudder and Corina was still in bed. So I encouraged her to get something to eat since she haven't had anything since breakfast. So we went out... I had my dinner and she had her lunch/dinner, which was only a slice of toast and 7up. I'm going to cut this blog short because I need to run back and check up on her and also since I was working all day today at Daya Dan I haven't had the chance to do laundry and I need it done before I leave this weekend to Darjeeling for 3 days. I don't know if anyone is still reading these blogs but continue keep us in your prayers and pray for Corina's wellbeing if you have the time today. Thank you and God bless.
