Today I woke up feeling a bit out of
sorts and I surely didn't get a quality sleep. Just before I went to
bed, Maureen insisted on putting my sheets on the bed and putting a
blanket underneath to make it more comfortable (she washed the sheets
earlier and then I picked them off the line just before it started
raining...then I began ironing what was on the line and it wore me
out [I still have more clothes that need to be ironed] so I just
finished with what was on the line...I'm so grateful and amazed that
Maureen likes to do that stuff). I had some breakfast and Maureen
informed me that she would be out for the day and possibly through
the night so she prepared some food for lunch and went on her way. A
short while later, Eugene stopped by to give me some audio files from
Bekwai last week as well as some pictures from the soccer match and
then quickly departed to head back to campus to do some work. All of
this before 9 a.m. That was pretty much the end of any action.
Maureen had to meet a friend and was going to be out until later in
the evening. Eugene said he may call later but I wasn't counting on
it. I laid around and kind of took it easy today, I took a shower
and went to the supermarket at gates and got a loaf of bread and some
soya milk (the only thing aside from water and coffee and that one
coke I've had since I've been gone) and then walked home (I really
like the walk home). I took it easy again and had some lunch and
wrote a bit and checked in with some people. Maureen finally got
home around 6 (I expected her to be gone throughout the night) and
began her work. Eugene never called but I know he was busy and now
it's just a matter of waiting until I go to sleep, pretty uneventful
day but the walking around still has me feeling lucky and fortunate
and I will continue to do so everyday! Maureen sprayed her room with
bug repellant and its odor is quite overwhelming so she hung out in
my room for awhile, marking papers and such. Afterwards we had some
food (it was mostly me who ate, she had a piece of bread and some
tea) and then she went back to her room to read and work some more.
I tried to lay down and sleep but couldn't get comfortable and the
fan wasn't doing much so I began sweating. I got up and went to the
common room and Elom was watching tv and doing some work so I joined
her for a few minutes and cooled off. I went back to my room and
fell to sleep fairly quickly.
