A little bit on some things

Happy Friday! This time I really don’t have a lot to say but sometimes (always?) that is better. I think for ease of use I will go with the trusty bullet points.
• I’ve been spending some time in the library this week; this is good since I’m the librarian.
• In order to get to the library I walk about 25 minutes. Sometimes this walk is filled with people who think it is appropriate to park their car and start walking with me so they can practice their English. I think the word for that is stalking.
• This week started my three-week block of not having to teach domestic arts this week. Hallelujah!
• The next unit I am teaching is sewing and I bought fabric on Tuesday so I could do some sample projects.
• Shopping for fabric in this country quickly became one of my least favorite past-times. Why is everything either a nasty polyester blend or Winnie the Pooh?
• Because of this, and various other frustrating things about living here, Tuesday is what I like to call a “bad day.”
• Most of the things that were driving me crazy on Tuesday got resolved on Wednesday. Like I even had a car for part of the day so I could go shopping without being on someone else’s schedule. So God is faithful even in the small things, imagine that.
• Wednesday Lori and I spent running around town getting the papers in order so that her car can leave the country. She picked me up at 7:30am to get started and we didn’t make it back until 6pm.
• We got these papers because on Sunday the two of us are driving to Panama! We’re planning on getting to Panama City Monday afternoon and spending a few days there before we start heading North to hit some beaches on the way back to Nicaragua where we hope to arrive some time the following Sunday.
• Tomorrow we’ll finish collecting food and music for the car and making photocopies of important papers and maybe getting the oil checked somewhere in there.
• I am really excited about this trip and you should be excited about the update you’ll get when it’s over.
• I was just sitting in my friend’s backyard and the neighbors were burning something. My hair was already greasy but now it smells like smoke too.
• Shouldn’t there be regulations against having outdoor fires on windy days during the dry season?
• Well it seems like I still found plenty of things to say, I’m guessing you’re not surprised.
Love, Joy
