Joe

Even though I feel like crap, I’m tired (the medication doesn’t let me sleep very well), I’m really dirty, and I don’t want to eat anymore of the food here, I am so proud of my brother Joe because he took and extra step and was able to get into the school he wanted. Just the news helped me sleep a bit more last night.

I went to the doctor this morning. My stool results are not back yet though so he’s not able to tell me exactly what kind of infection I have only that I have one. I’ll be able to give you the name on Monday. Also for those of you were don’t regularly talk to my mother or my boyfriend my internet went out at home (I only paid for a month) So I will not post again until Monday. Not to scare anyone. I had a funny moment yesterday with my tailor. He made me a couple of dresses that I’m going to bring home with me but when I tried on the dresses he had made, I think he’s used to fitting big black women because I could have smuggled grapefruits in the extra material in the cleavage area. So he is taking it in again, and probably again…This is my last full weekend here, next weekend I leave Sunday evening so this weekend I’m spending getting my things together and making sure all the stuff I bought can fit in my suitcase. Along with some cleaning here and there. Saturday I have a community meal with the women at my NGO, and then maybe Justin’s friend Mr. Zongo will pick me up and take me out that night to do something outside my house. Sunday I thought was the community meal but its been changed, to Saturday, So Sunday I’ll clean and pack. I was trying to find a pool to take a swim in but Mirabelle has her brother birthday this weekend, and its Mother’s day here so Fatou is going to Bobo again. But I do need to do the wash so maybe a final Sunday no internet no people will be good for my health and my cleaning….My health I hope stays strong this weekend I’ll let you know Monday!
