Sunday 5-25-14

                Facebook and the internet are taunting me! Facebook is the only page that will actually open, but it won’t work enough for me to message anyone or load my blogs. This is getting beyond frustrating. Either work or don’t, put it really needs to stop taunting. That is just not very nice.

                For the first half of the day I didn’t want to do anything. I did get up and get the breakfast bread ready for the kids, but I didn’t want to do anything. I have been sad and missing my husband pretty bad today. I tried to use Mamaliz’s phone to call, but all of a sudden it says it only takes emergency calls. I tried to call using the land line, but that won’t work apparently because it only works when the internet is working, and the internet hasn’t been working for a week now and I can’t contact him in any way. But I did make the kids special breakfast bread. I made some scrambled eggs and some decent coffee. The rest of the morning I read my book, then Teacher Logan came by and visited for a little while, but there is truly little to do other than visit.

                Around lunch I decided to start making up some bread to rise for bread to have this week. I also got some good veggie stew made up for dinner. The kids played and played hard. There was much about today that I very much enjoyed, but at the same time there was much and more that I just did not have a decent time with.

                The kids played marbles with Teacher Logan and of course Jove lost a marble. The kids tried to help him find it, but no luck. I let Jove know that next time we play, he can’t play with everyone since he lost a marble. He can’t play at least for a while. Samweli Stan had his little brother with him. He was maybe a year and a half. I asked if I could hold him. Sameweli handed him over and sat him on my lap. Soma started to cry though because he didn’t know me and so I gave him back. Right after that I noticed that my lap is soaking wet with urine. So much for these new clean pants that fit. The rest of the evening we visited. I let Logan know he could bathe here since we had hot water and he did not. Chris and Hannah came over and we visited and talked of what they saw at Mikumi. Luckily, the day is over and I just don’t want to talk about anything more. Today has very much been a day where I am ready to pay any amount to go home early. The phone, the internet, nothing works, there is no communication with the outside, and I miss my husband. I love it here, but without Asa, it just isn’t worth it.
