Day 13 (thursday)

Had the usual 2 am wake-up to use the bathroom, laid back down for a bit and slept in until 7.  Spent some time updating the bloggy and am now going to make some breakfast.   Warmed up some water for the usual and then added some more information to my inquiry and report from being at the DSW. I worked on that for a couple hours then Maureen came back home.  She began ironing the clothes that had been sent to the washer (you've never seen anyone so meticulous with ironing before, wow, both inside and out and gave special care to folding them as well) as we talked for some time.  I warmed up some lunch and then laid down for a bit.  I recently got in touch with some friends that I initially ran into at the airport in Kumasi and they are going to be in Kumasi (they were in a region just north of here) for the weekend and would like to meet up and join us as we will probably visit the Ashanti kingdom at some point this weekend.  We will make food for all of us and Maureen offered to house them for the weekend to save them from paying (although I suggested she accept some contribution) much and not have to look for a place either.   I was aware that Maureen was taking a much needed and deserved rest so I decided to clean and take a shower.  When I got out, I noticed a rash on my leg, it kind of itched a bit...another thing that i'm going to have to monitor.  First I swept my room and then went to the kitchen then back to my room, decided to rearrange things a bit and mop the whole floor and then decided to leave the furniture the way it was.  We decided to go out to campus so I could withdraw some money and then we were planning on making a few stops and wanted to get some food to prepare...NOPE, just realized that my atm card doesn't work on any of the atm's i've tried (they recognize my name as per the card when I insert it but won't accept that card) so i'll have to wait until tomorrow to go to a bank to exchange some currency and figure out my $ituation.  As for now, i'm going to have some warmed up supper and try to get some early sleep tonight.
