Time is passing too fast. I am in a tizzy trying to make lists, see things that need to be done, organize some of the hospital things, etc. Yes, I do like 5-6 weeks better than three. Church this morning. The priest was not there, some big gathering west of here. Afterwards I checked on patients. All are okay. Our poor Mama is just not bouncing back and we are out of med. I did don the space suit and went into the white container to see if there was any metrondizole tucked away somewhere. No luck and no stings.
Gabriel came by. We talked about his education. I went on line looking for places and costs. He has his list and now must travel to places to see where it is best for him to go. We then walked to town, visited with many. I took tons of kids pictures. It was so fun to see them. They are really not any different from kids anywhere. And they are so beautiful, even with their dirty faces. One boy was making mud cattle. Even as young kids understand the wealth is noted by the number of cattle you have. That is your importance. I will add pictures later that I took of these little mud figures. They were really cute.
Our guard is back. He has been here for several years. When I arrived this year, there were no guards. Now he is back. Apparently he had to go to Juba for work. He is military. A nice guy and he was so surprised to see me. I always felt safe knowing he was walking around at night, especially when I would sleep outside. None of that this trip, due to rain. And it is cooler. I think the temps have been in the 90's during the day but down to the 70's at night. Good sleeping.
Short report tonight. Life is good. Back at the grind tomorrow, seeing patients and trying to get meds here. We have the money, just not the means to get them. I am sure we will get things this week. At least I hope.
