More qualifiers
This long day began for me before five o’clock. Then I didn’t get a full meal until after two; a couple of hours later, I was sleeping from sheer exhaustion. Did Samuel sleep today? He did not.
Thankfully, Karin was here to watch him: she stayed at home to prepare for the move.
My parents and I spent much of the day cleaning the new house, and we waited there for a plumber who didn’t come. A different plumber will come next Wednesday … after Karin, Samuel, and I have moved in.
Until this plumber arrives, the bathtub will serve as our all-purpose sink.

Ecuador’s next World Cup qualifier will be played tomorrow night (8:30 ET).
Opponent: Bolivia.
Location: Guayaquil.
This will be our first home qualifier outside of Quito since 1997 (the last one also was played against Bolivia, and in Guayaquil).
Afterward, we’ll travel to Venezuela and Colombia. It makes sense to prepare for those games on the Caribbean coast by playing our home game in a hot, coastal city.
Guayaquil was in the news a few days ago because a particularly brutal prison riot happened there.
