I did the happy dance of joy, leaping through the halls of the guest house and skipping around the trees because the city electricity came on this afternoon at about 6pm! This is only the third day of electricity that we've had in the last two and a half months! Whoo hooo!
Of course, getting the city electricity comes right on the heels of our super handy men's visit - they have now set up the internet kit so that it's all running off of batteries and we can use the internet even when the electricity is off. That makes a HUGE difference to my quality of life, that's for sure.
AND, we discovered take-away chicken tonight, too. I roasted up some yummy potatoes in the oven, AnnaMarie stopped at the grilled chicken place on her way home from work, and we had a wonderful chicken dinner, with lights and a fan on :) Wow. Amazing.
Oh yeah, I got some work done today, too. I'm helping one of our colleagues at the Ministry of Education typeset a book. I LOVE doing stuff like that, but when someone else, who's not exactly computer literate, does all the typing and formatting, it's a bit of a nightmare to try to go back and make it look pretty! But in the end, I just love making a little book out of it all and making it look nice.
My cold is getting better today, too. I was suffering for a few days this week - it's not so nice to feel feverish AND be hot and sweaty just because it's, well, hot and sticky outside. I'm just so thankful I've yet to be really, truly sick. The thought of really having a fever in this weather is not pleasant. So please continue to pray that I stay healthy here!
Now, since I have a whole night of internet surfing ahead of me, I've got some webpages and blogs to catch up on!
