Repairs

Well, after two full days in Masindi, my living space is starting to feel less like camping and more like a house.

Hot water- check
Fridge- check
Gas- hooked up to stove
Shady electrical switches- fixed
Unkempt lawn- weed whacked
Windows-washed
Shower extension- attached
Floors- swept and mopped
Murderous ants and wasps- dead
Suitcases- unpacked
Bedroom-arranged and comfy
Electricity- going strong for the last 36 hours

My house has been full of strange men and loud noises in the midst of all of these repairs. I don't have enough food to offer them, and I feel rude eating in front of them. So I sometimes sneak things out of the kitchen into my room. Or starve.

I am fascinated by this blow torch the repair guy used to fix my fridge. How old do you think it is?

I'm supposed to be starting my online classes this week too. Our first paper is due at the end of the week. But surely, how? With all these changes and interruptions, I don't see how any of this reading is going to get done.

On the bright side- tomorrow will be my first full day at the clinic!
