Continuation

So once we got Vicky taken care of, I had to come back home to take care of the electricity problem here. We had city power in one section of the compound, but not in the section where one of the teams is working. So we had to try to figure out, with the folks who are renting that particular side of the house, what was causing this problem. Let me tell you, living in community when you have to solve things like electrical problems with no expertise in electrical things, is not my cup of tea. Thankfully, Jackie is a bit more methodical and patient than I am, so she did a lot of the dealing with it... but still, it threw everything off for a while.

And since Vicky was out of commission, I helped Sunday get our lunch on the table.

Of course, we were supposed to have a meeting planned for 2pm, but about 2:30, someone called on the phone (imagine to be able to CALL someone to tell them you can't make it to a meeting!). In the meantime, the electricity went off on the whole compound. So I started the generator. Magically, the electricity came on in the section where it wasn't on before. Hmmm... mystery. Anyways, then I had to putz around for a while getting the Internet going for the team in the office since the electricity had been off...

Seems like by the time all of that was over, it was nearly time to call it a day! So I feel like I didn't accomplish too much - just read some orthography stuff, answered some emails and waited around for a meeting that never happened. Yup, seems like Africa ALMOST won today :)
