     December 10, 2002:

M'buti here again. Sorry I haven't written in so long, but it is hard when I am stuck in my bed. (I have to be in bed..doctor's orders, because he says my health is so bad. See, I am pregnant, and he doesn't want me to risk hurting the baby. But meanwhile, I am stuck in bed, getting FAT!! I'm getting to be so fat, I am getting to look like a HOUSE!! Or maybe a FAT PIG!!)

I am so ~SICK~ of being in this BED all the time; I want to get out and DO THINGS! But, NOOOOooo...I have to stay in my bed because I get so dizzy, and there is a risk I could fall and possibly hurt myself or the baby inside me. (I am not on my medication because of my being pregnant..I am 4 1/2 months along.., and I feel like ~HELL~!!)

Roberto has been very good, trying to take care of me and Jubaki; and he's also been very busy with his job at the hospital. But because of the fact that I am in bed all the time he doesn't stay away long when he goes out, in case something should happen to me or Jubaki while he's gone. Or, while he is away, he has our neighbor (or Miss Louisiana) check on me and stay with me until he gets back. He's been a good guy about it, but it is so hard on me! I am ~TIRED~ of feeling ~TIRED~ all the time, and I DON'T like HURTING all the time! I am also sick of ~BEING SICK~, and I am so tired of oxygen tubes and pills and shit! I feel like I am nothing but a big burden to my husband and son, and I ~HATE~ it!!

Roberto has been busy trying to come up with a name for our baby, but I just haven't been in the mood! He wants to call the girl Nasha, or, if the baby is a boy, he wants to name it Kibarake. At first, he originally had Nubianne for a girl and Nico for a boy, but I put my foot down and said, "NO WAY am I going to have a girl child named Nubianne! That sounds NASTY!", and, of course, he laughed! I then suggested Kibarake and Nasha, and he said those names are better, so those will be the names we choose for our baby if it is a boy or a girl.

Christmas is coming up, and Roberto is going to decorate our house this weekend. (He is off. He asked to be off.) He's already started Christmas shopping, but he won't tell me what he got me or Jubaki; he is being just like a little boy, and it is starting to DRIVE ME ~CRAZY~!! He's also going to shop for Miss Louisiana and her family of many children; but he is going to give them cash. They sure do need the money, what with all of the children! My goodness, but what a big family they have! They just don't have children; they have a VILLAGE!!

But what good will I be on Christmas? I'll just be in the way!! All I get to do Christmas is stay in this &*.# bed!! SOME CHRISTMAS M'buti is going to have! It will be just like I'm still in the ^*(&$ HOSPITAL!! >:(

Well, this isn't much, but then I haven't ~DONE MUCH~ except be in my BED!! Some EXCITING life I have!!

Will write more when I feel up to it, but I thought I had better let you know I am still around; I don't want you to think I am DEAD!!

~M'buti A. Moore-Sormiento.
