Quickie
Internet access has been virtually unavailable, so I have a few belated shout-outs:
Happy Belated Birthday to:
Baker!
Jesus (yah, I know it wasn't really His bday:p)!
ME!
Princess Sheela!
Nana!
I do not know when my next internet opportunity will be so...
Happy Soon-to-be Birthdays to:
My Dad!
Juju!
Doris!
Lob you all:]
:::Insert massive amounts of craziness here:::
That has been my life lately. Unfortunately (or fortunately for you:p), I don't have the time to get into detail. But I promise to explicate in a later entry! Don't get too excited :]
Every now and then I am struck by the fact that I am living in Africa. You know... those times when I can't remember how to speak English... or I am sitting in a taxi next to 2 goats and a chicken... or how ridiculously happy it makes me to have the opportunity to take a shower 3 or 4 times a month... or when I am having dinner at a restaurant with some friends and some random Cameroonian guy approaches us and asks our price for the night... or I spill the bucket of water (and a few expletives) that I had to go get from one of the 2 wells in my village... and I think to myself: "Self... what are you doing here?"
We were doing vaccinations this week at the health center. And while I was weighing a baby, his 17-year old mother said to me in French (which I know was a challenge for her, because hardly anyone in my village speaks French. There is not even a high school, so 95% of the population only speaks the local language)... Anywho, so she says to me, "Thank you for being here."
Wow. I did not even know how to respond.
That's what I'm doing here.
Enough of that:] Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Thanks for all of the love:] Party a lot for me tonight:]
