So sorry for the delay. How time has slipped by, no?
I suppose I should jump right in and attempt to make an organized post as I go? OK.

Update: I am currently struggling against everyone' s favorite bacteria: staph! Yes, it's true, I've got one doozy of an infection, mainly on arms and legs (has not made a move to the face, and thank god...). Recieved some serious shots in the bum and some serious oral anti's. Am recovering/drying up/crusting over quickly. Lessons learned: my skin is severly sensitive ( I always thought Sarah was the sister with this issue...hmm), any suggestions (mainly from people with sensitive skin, all the rest of you can suck it)? Also, it's quite nice, natural and best to be your own doctor, or at least to know when to draw the line and tell your doctor you actually need a doctor cause something is going very wrong. Also, when your mom and nana send you antiseptic gel called "staphaseptic", take it back to site with you and do not, i repeat, do not, leave it in the PC office in "storage". It could come in handy for something like, i dunno, fighting and preventing staph infections.

Update: I'm trying to get my AIDS dvd up and going a little smoother. However, a week in Kampala, resulting in missed interviews and missed health center visits, isnt conducive to finishing the project. I gt my hands a bit full with that. Work is well, however. I feel as if I am becmoing more and more of a community volunteer rather than just restriced to my org, which i appreciate. I am still slowly trying to find my niche in volunteering and yearn for that one day when i wake up and decide that i dont give a shit if people find me lazy for not doing one of the following: having a garden (or a successful garden), rising at 530 am to clean my house, building (something, anything - which is one of the biggest signs of "progress" to many of the people around me), sitting outside my house (so people can converse more easily with me) rather than inside (where i find or try to rescue my peace of mind), and many other mind-worrying activities. Until that day, when my body and brain can no longer keep up with my worries and decide to "fuck-it-all, do what you want", I'll continue to stress out by sleeping till 7 am and hoeing my garden but never planting a damn thing in it!

Update: Lisa had her first earthquake experience yesterday!!! No worries, no worries. It was but a wee babe, just enough to shake my bed in a lewd manner. But exciting none the less.

Update: Lisa just found and bought Old Spice High Endurance at the super market! There may just be a God...except it was hella expensive. Now, when will these fools recognize that women really dont like shoving cardboard up their vaginas, nor do they like that cheap OB bullet, uh, i mean tampon. C'mon, get me some liberty in the form of playtex gentle glide! Or, i'll be forced to go all hippie femi-nazi like sissy pants and resort to my Diva...I know she was expensive mom, but i am a creature of habit and this is one that is hard to break. I'm working on it.
Ok, enough about my vag and it's toiletries...

Update: I got to paint!!! Just like the old days, Rich! It actually felt good to do something concrete, tangible that i know i am perfectly capable of doing...and it was fun. Think of nana/gramps first choice of kitchen color (well, as I recall, gramps choice) that sar and rich and i feared. That was basically what i did to someones office. They loved it, naturally. Gramps, maybe you could be an interior decorator in Uganda, people love to be tacky!!!

Ya know...somedays, there is a lot i can say on this thing. A lot i am thinking, a lot that i am frustrated at, a lot that i wanna scream into the ears of the internet and receive an "amen!" at the end. But, as of now, things aint bad. Even though being incapacitated from work was a struggle and I missed a lot, i must say it has been nice to just be taken care of and chill for a bit. Put things in prespective and get a clear head ready to be muddled up at site again!!! I cant wait!!! Really, I cant. Ive also left 2 week old dirty dishes in my house which i am sure Little Olivia (my mouse) has enjoyed, but now i fear they may be becoming ecosystems...something must be done when i get home, probably involving bleach and matches.

I just realized that this whole post is just Lisa Lisa Lisa. I know, its my blog and i can put whatever i want to on it, but how i would like to actually talk about uganda and the people and not about myself. Next post.
Til then,
here's to feeling healthy
