Today the plan was to go to the hospital for an appt. Sarah had. We left around 9 and got there around 930. By 10am I was fighting the worst sleepiness i have had in awhile. As I read the paper Patrick bought I kept nodding off. Come to realize this morning when i grabbed my medicine bottle to take my thyroid medicine I grabbed the muscle relaxers I brought. I have a bad neck and brought them just in case-I have an incredible ability to pull a muscle doing absolutely nothing. Typically i take a half unless i am planning to go to bed or stay on the couch. Needless to say-i took a whole one. The rest of the day was a complete loss. I do remember sitting until 1:30 going to the museum to eat traditional ugandan lunch then back to sit for another hour…TIA.
I did get some street shots as we travelled from Muynuno-the neighborhood in Kampala to the north east side where the hospital is. I tried to get a picture of the newspaper guy that jogged or chased our van for almost 3.10ths of a mile. Patrick didn't have his money ready. So they guy had to catch up because Patrick couldn't stop. Patrick tipped him as he should have.
Tonight we ate by LED lamplight-power went out again (it was out earlier at the house while we were gone). And as I reported earlier- word of the week seems to be unprepared. Forgot my flashlight (first rule of coming to Africa-toilet paper for when there is none, and a flashlight).
Tomorrow I am heading to Buloba. As much as i cannot wait to be there I kind of dread it. I feel like a celebrity there-I am treated as such. And while it can make my head swell up, I often wish I wasn't so highly regarded. I have simply been a servant to the Lord Almighty and sought to do what He would have me do here in AFrica. And the honor and praise belongs to Him…not me.
But I cannot wait to see my friends. And my prayer is that the Holy Spirit would remind me of so many names I have forgotten. I cannot wait to give out some sponsor kid gifts and I will go to the Bible College that Gaba has started down the street. It's going to be a good day. Please pray for me especially tomorrow and Thursday as they will be Buloba days.
And rest assured-the muscle relaxer bottle has been far removed from my bedside table…
Patrick honked relentlessly at this poor guy because he was too slow. ha
For the rich ugandans or the muzungus-golf course downtown. Regular folks don't play-it just doesnt make sense to spend the money on it
