Today, a few minutes before Martín was due, I received a message that he was ill and wasn´t coming. He had a stomack bug.
I answered him about drinking water and not to worry, but I will not be able to give him the too spicy lentils until next week at least.
I just placed them in a Tupperware and in the freezer. I left some for me today and will eat them in a couple of minutes more.
He said that he´d come tomorrow but tomorrow he will not take me to the drugstore even if he is able to come. The drugstore has lower prices only on Mondays and Thursdays. Still, I have a doctor´s appointment in Thursday so I´ll buy my meds then.
The kitchen is very clean though. Before Martín messaged me, I had taken a pain pill that I don´t take every day and rubbed Diclofenac on my back. So what I had done to be well for the therapy helped me clean up pots, pans and even mop a bit the floor.
See you later, friends. After lunch I´ll check your posts.

The stomach flu or whatever sure is going around. It's nice that the pharmacy lowers the prices a couple of days a week.

@marguicha .......At least there's that. I get mine free because I have insurance that pays for them.

@celticeagle Not even the best insurance here pays for meds except for the list that is paid by the government.

Anyway meds are expensive and as I get older I need more meds. The only meds I get almost free are the pain meds for my knees.

I hope Martin feels better quickly. Stomach bugs are definitely not fun!
At least the pain meds helped you get the dishes and your floor done.
Have a good day.

Martin messaged me that he was fine again. He´ll come tomorrow. But I´ll cook something not so spicy tomorrow.

@marguicha I'm glad he's feeling better.
I'm sure he'll love whatever you serve him.

@JudyEv My husband made the best ceviche ( a Peruvian dish with seafood) I have ever eaten. But he needed several sous chefs and left the kitchen a mess.

@marguicha My husband uses a lot of utensils when he's cooking but I don't use as many.
