Hello all!
Work was pretty good this week. I almost passed out yesterday for the first time in my nursing career. Really gross finger, I won't go into the details for those of you whole don't have medical stomachs. It was a close one though, sat down just in time. Yuck! It was a day of gross wounds but that was the only one I almost tossed my cookies from.
It has been very hot here this week, not unbearable though. It cools down nicely at night so that is good.
People carry the craziest stuff on the backs of the motorbikes (Boda Boda's). I saw a man, women and a baby in between and strapped to the back was a sack of something, a suitcase, two pineapples and a dead chicken.
I had a few questions from the Bolt family that I would like to answer:
What is the biggest bug you have seen - any 10" centipeeds?
--Biggest bug is a couple 0f cockroaches that I saw in my bedroom and Lara's bedroom. You all know how much I LOVE cockroaches. Only saw those two so don't worry mom and Sara...
Describe your bed - is is comfortable? does it have netting over it? what are the pillows like?
--My bed is pretty comfortable because I have two foam mattresses on it but Lara's is terrible. There are just little thing 2x2 boards on the frame. I have a mosquito net over the bed. My pillow is pretty hard but it is ok.
How are managing your fear/ uncomfortableness with strange bathrooms?
--I am doing pretty good. Getting better. Squat toilets are interesting but not too bad.
Does it feel freeing to not have anyone expect you to have makeup/ good hair? Are you wearing makeup?
--Feels pretty good. I still wear a bit of mascara...Lara thinks I have an addiction which is very possible. I am pretty sweaty and dirty most of the time but so is everyone else.
I got horrible sunburn on my thighs while I was rafting, my left thigh just started to blister today, so gross. I put sunscreen on a million times but it just wasn't enough for the Nile and the equator I guess.
Hope all is well! Kampala and the beach this weekend!
Thanks for reading!
