Can't Read My, Can't Read My Poker Face

7/18-7/19

So the past 2 days weren’t quite what I expected.  I have not been at the hospital because surprise, surprise, no one will get in touch with me.  So instead, I’ve been to town about 12 times in the past two days.  We’ve also been without power and water up until this evening, so I’ve been incredibly pleasant to be around.  A major turnaround tonight, though.  Our power came back, so we were able to cook, and we watched ‘Role Models’ as our family movie.  Yay for turnarounds!  Tomorrow I’m going to the hospital to give away some clothes, and maybe track down the doctor I’m supposed to be working with.

Two awesome things from the past two days:
1. Uganda Aerobics.  You go to the dance club, which during the week is a sauna/aerobics place.  There are big burly men bouncing around yelling out random aerobics moves that are terrible for your back and feet, and the club DJ does the music.  You also have to go into the sauna to pay, which is covered in gross men in towels sweating it out.  It’s definitely an odd experience, but one of my favorites since I’ve been here.
2. The snack guy at the pool has a crush on me, and therefore, I get free Cokes.  I have no shame, I like free stuff. 

I’m thankful...
1. for flushing toilets, even if you have to haul a bucket of water from the house next door to pour into the toilet to make it flush.
2. for awesome pedicures.  My feet feel clean for the first time since I’ve been here.
3. needless to say, for Uganda aerobics.  We’re going again tomorrow night.
4. for awesome music to do aerobics to.  I love Lady Gaga in Uganda.
5. for power.  Please appreciate the consistency you have at home.
6. for pools.  They are definitely good fun. 

I’m so close I can taste it!  Goodnight All!
