Taking a cue from Facebook

So every time I log on to Facebook it asks me to up date my status which reads as Erin is ......
I always have a number of ways to end that sentence and I've decided to stick them here.

Erin is.....

• hoping for one day (just one) where she doesn't have to pick ants off her toothbrush
• not really enjoying the heat today
• feeling much better after her first brush with tropical diseases (had ''few malarias'' aka had a fever and was tired so went to clinic, they tested her and said she had few malarias so gave her some pills, went to bed at 8 one night and now feels almost perfect, unlike the finance officer and our construction officer who have had actual malaria in the past two weeks and aren't feeling that swell)
• slightly scared of the housekeeper - yes the housekeeper not the guard who was abducted by the LRA and spent time in the bush as they call it but the housekeeper
• beginning to think that scheduling five trainings in five subcounties in three different districts with five different training teams at one time might not have been the best idea
• starting to get a bit worried about the ceasefire falling apart
• excited that Kristy is coming up to visit in a couple of weeks
• hoping to look lovely in the next week when there is another round of documentary filming
• apparently the 'best organized project officer' b/c she has five piles of stationary sitting in the board room waiting for the trainers to take them to the training locations.
• realizing that she can't actually cook that much without a functioning oven and without butchers she can stomach going to (she doesn't do the whole slab of beef on the table in the market thing)
• hoping to hit the pool this weekend
• too hot
• addicted to the popcorn from the popcorn lady up the street - a tasty treat for only 100 shillings (like 7 cents)
• a little lonely
• shocked that she only has a month and a half of the project left to go with so much to do
• sick of having to yell at the damn guard dogs every time she goes outside after dark
• concerned she won't be able to eat all the packaged food she brought up from Kampala before it is time to leave
• craving red licorice and a decent donut
• waiting for the wild sweet orange tea she brewed and then put in the fridge to chill so she can have some iced tea
• worried she'll run out of time here
• flabbergasted that two of the trainers have thanked her for doing a good job/said they would like to work with CPAR again based on this experience
• considering starting to drive here though probably will decide against it
• hoping Ties is coming up for work next week
• stoked that the fam is discussing a holiday in may
• thinking it is past her bedtime
