First off, last night was soooooo hot. We had a rain storm and the humidity was awful and it never cooled down. Probably not too much below 95 most of the night. So I woke up groggy and feeling the lack of sleep. It has been a scorcher today. Am sure around 120 in the afternoon. I was standing outside talking to some people and my feet (in flip flop type sandles) were just burning!!! I got something out of my bed, kneeling over the end of the bed to quickly grab my nano, and the bar at the end of my bed burned my legs!!! This crazy country of Deng's.
Worked the clinic this AM and also continued on with the sorting game. I found the most interesting thing, I came across a craniotomy drill. We do tons of neurosurgery around here. Sheeesh, same story, different day.
Aaron, Tanner and Thom have been working on the front end loader. It is now running. They installed the new bathroom. It is off in a corner of the compound and I made a comment on having to use the old one because the grass is so long around the new one I am afraid I will run into a snake. So they made a really wide walkway to the outhouse. Isn't that nice of Aaron to do for me. Catherine's corridor is what they called it. Make sense to me. I got pics. Aaron also dug a hole that we can put medical stuff in to bury. It will be the expired things that will never be used. It will be nice to get the xray room cleaned up from all those boxes.They have also moved all the junk that was laying around. Parts to the tractor, blocks of cement, I was waiting for a pink trailer on cinder blocks to show up to the compound. We are like a bunch of hillbillies. I took pictures to show how nicely they cleaned the place up.
Everyone except Jon Jok, Jacob and I went to Bor for the night. Compound is really quiet. I worked until about 6 pm and came to the dining hall to eat, then shower, then lay in bed and read. Hmmmm, no dinner. It was left for me to make. Not sure who arranged that one. But I am not happy.
It is still really hot out. still and hot. Probably around 110-120 degrees. There are whispy clouds but it doesn't seem like rain. Just summer heat. Well I hope all is well with everyone. It is hard to believe that I may be starting my journey home in a week or so, depending on how I am getting out of Sudan. Still working on that one. VOM comes on next tuesday. Maybe they are headed to Nairobi and I can catch a ride. I hope to hear from them soon. We will see.
Sweet dreams to all

Catching up on posts Catherine. Hey, see if you can get any supplies you won't use to the US military. They use VACs a lot and probably the other things. You probably got it figured out already. When do you come home? Miss you. Lee
