I'm never going to get there at this rate...

... but I just don't feel like blogging tonight!

I have a serious Jb-induced headache this evening. I forgot how much water it actually takes to keep me hydrated when I'm sweating from sun-up to past sun-down. And the water filter can't seem to keep up - I think it's all clogged with all the lovely minerals in our water :( I'm trying to rehydrate (which means I'll be up peeing all night... at least I have a lovely new toilet in which to pee! Have I mentioned how happy I am that I have a new toilet? I actually have a toilet seat on which to rest my bottom when I pee! We had a team of American volunteers come to do some practical handy sort of works while I was away, and one of their jobs was to install a new toilet. The old one had been here since the 1980s and had survived a civil war, sort of. But the daily plunging and the acrobatics that it took to not fall in were getting pretty tiresome. So I did the dance of joy when I saw our brand spanking new toilet!).

In fact, I'm so excited about my new toilet, I believe I shall go and photograph it, and post it's photo. I'm just a little bummed that I didn't get a photo of the old one, just to show you how truly awful it was, and how much of an improvement this one is!

Isn't she lovely? Um, just ignore that puddle of dirty water around the base of her. I'm sure that will all get sorted out in due course - in the meantime, um, well, we're just keeping a mop and a bucket of bleachy water in the bathroom...

But here's a picture of the matching sink:

I'm so excited that the roach infested counter top and cupboard are gone! Now we just have to figure out a way to make it look "finished", rather than, well, how it looks now! But it's SO nice to have a lovely shiny new sink.

Oh, generator just went off. I'd better get this posted and get to sleep. Tomorrow is another day. But first, I gotta pee...
