Boxes and boxes of needles and knives!

Well today was a busy day. It started nice and slow... which was good, because I didn't fall asleep til around 11:45. I woke up several times as Andrew was getting ready for school. He obviously hasn't shared his room recently (we are in bunk beds, and I got the top bunk!). I got a few more hours of sleep until mom and one of her Australian friends sat down for tea... not in Andrews room mind you, but in the dining room right next to it. I heard the power go off when their tea kettle stopped boiling... anyhow I eventually got up and dressed. I had a naartjie (or a tangerine) for breakfast and sat with my mom and her friend til I really woke up and then I called the hanger and asked if they had anything for me to do, but nobody was around, so I left a message with the secretary and lay down on the couch to read. My mom came in and asked if I wanted to go run errands with her in Maseru. We walked around finding things here and there and meeting people I didn't remember, but knew me quite well when I was "this big". We went to see Me Mavis, a lady that runs an orphan care center in Maseru that Katie came from. Her place had changed ALOT since I had last been there (somewhere around 2002 maybe). Eventually we had to go pick up the little boys, and the hanger had called my dad. My mom and I went by the hanger (it was close to Me Mavis' place) and talked to Tim. He said there was a container to unpack for Partners In Health. I asked them if I could go for lunch and they asked me to pick up some chicken and chips and cokes for them. We went by and picked up the little boys and ate lunch. I've got to go to bed, I'll finish this in the morning... well It's afternoon now... and I'm still sleepy. Yesterday I went after lunch I went to hungry lion to get chicken and chips while my mom went to pick up Andrew. She picked me a little later and we went back to the hanger. I just helped unload a 20ft container of medical supplies and distributed them into boxes going to the six PIH health centers. and then separated them into emergency boxes and other and lumbar puncture trays. We then packed them into a MAF 40 ft container. I got an invitation from Traig Friedrich, one of the pilots to do an overnight trip to Lebokong to install a satellite next week! I worked in the containers with Dr. Sean and Me Mampho until 5 or so and then got a lift home. Then din din and bed... as always
