Brrr...

Yup, it's a cold one, that's for sure. Imagine, this afternoon, I turned off my fan because I was freezing. I arrived at a meeting without a drop of sweat dripping off my brow! I'm sitting here all wrapped up in a shawl, drinking hot milk. And it's only 24C in the house here. I'm going to absolutely freeze next month in Nairobi.

Today was a pretty good day, though. We had a productive meeting with the Ministry of Education. Jackie made me lead the meeting today, which was a bit scary, since both the heads of the department were also there! These guys command a lot of respect, and it's a little frightening to be the facilitator of a meeting with them there. It's a challenge to find the balance between getting some work done, and making sure everyone is heard, and finding some compromise in how to do things most efficiently. I do enjoy the challenge!

Hmmm... without little Gracie here, there just doesn't seem to be much of any fun to talk about! I still kinda miss that girl, even though I've cleared out my room a bit. It just seems so empty in my room without her! Sigh... so sad. my couch is just turned into a junk catcher now. But at least all the junk on my desk is all my junk, and not anyone else's :)
