We have some down time between when school finishes and when club starts so we al kind of hang around with out a purpose for a while. But next week we will have clubs after school and then there will be 2 little Zambian girls living with us that we have to watch over, so my down time will be pretty much nonexistent. My battery on my computer is dying I have not charged it since I got here. The outlets are not only the wrong style but they have the wrong voltage. So I need a converter and a power strip. I have one but not the other.
I don really mind some of the challenges we have. Like there is no hot water and our toilets are out side. We run on a generator that shuts off at ten and then it is so dark out side. The first night I was here I woke up it the middle of the night and I thought I went blind. So not only is a flash light important it is required to do anything after the generator goes off. But the water we can drink large amounts but we can brush our teeth with it, and do dishes with it. But filter water is what we drink. We sleep in mosquito net covered beds, There are some of the craziest looking bugs here. The most popular one Is this big flat spider that is on all the walls. It not poisonous but it eats other bugs so we like it. But we do have poisonous caterpillars, which are freaky looking.
I am in a panic over your computer battery. Can I send something to help? How is the mail service?
ReplyDeleteDo you want to know what our latest entertainment is? We stalk the computer and when Julia announces, "She wrote" we all do the traditional dance of... our family. Slightly insane but joyful!! Of course, Domanic's favorite part of your yesterday story was about the animals but when he heard about the baboons that was his "Freak-out" breaking point! Today he wishes he were there to catch bugs, especially caterpillars! Boys! Sue B. called from Africa yesterday and had to leave a message that you were O.K. because I weeding. That's it! The weeds win. I am going to sit by the phone - grin.
Let me know if I can help with the computer.
Love ya, Mom
