Well, per the usual, I have a cold. It will undoubtedly last about 1 month.... yuck. My mom and Dad have had a cold.... and even the Maa in my house!!! Guess it's my turn.
I am going to the post office today to check if I have any packages in Kumasi to pick up. My mom recently sent 2 boxes of stuff!!! The most important thing in those boxes will be the pickles!! I plan on eating at least one right at the customs office!!! haha. The boxes cost about $50 bucks a piece to ship, and then I end up paying about$5-10 to get them out of the customs office. I have a way better deal than my mom!!!
This week will be pretty low key, mostly because I feel like crap. I think it is a combination sinus infection, which has finally reached my chest and now that is completely congested.... also, my tummy is running again. The malaria test said negative, but they did find 1 parasite on my slide on the microscope?? At this point, taking a malaria treatment med will make me feel 100x's worse than I do now. It is like taking an overdose of a cold medication!!! You feel terrible, very weak, and can't eat. Yuck. I think I will tough it out, and maybe eat more fufuo to make my tummy stop running!!!
I will be in the house all week working on my research papers. At night, I will go to the school and help the kids with their prep work... it is kind of like extra classes at night, where they get tutored and the teacher goes over the lessons in more detail. Otherwise, things are pretty boring in Oyoko. haha. I wish I were home on campus at MSU!!! I definately miss being in class. Never thought I would say that outloud but it's true. It's a routine... that I am used to.
Talk soon.xoxo

Sorry you are sick... that sucks! Everyone has been sick here, but with colds (not runny stomach). It sounds pretty slow there, enjoy it! I wish I had a break like that. ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso, if in doubt, post more pics of Annabelle! I love to see her! Also, when are you getting her a male friend? When is she sexually mature? Maybe in your free time you can look into what to do. For example, will the male be aggressive to her baby? Can they all be housed together or does the male need his own pen?
Have fun! :)
