Rainy days

Wednesday night it began to rain. Most evenings just after supper this happens but it doesn't usually last. This time it did. All evening, all night. It poured! We woke up and it was still raining. This resulted in rivers on the roads. Fun to walk through. The clinic was closed yesterday because of the rain so the day was spent lounging around, studying, watching a movie, talking etc. I was all ready to get to work today, arrived at the clinic gate and again, no one was there. What!? Did that crazy lady that sells candy tell the patients the clinic is closed again - even when it isn't supposed to be!? Oh no, it's a holiday today. I did remember this morning that it's Good Friday but didn't connect that with not working. I guess that makes sense. It just seems like there's no real order or way of knowing the holidays here and any of the systems. The girls didn't have school yesterday because it was the first of April. Huh. Doesn't make much sense to me! Regardless, it will be a 4 day weekend.

The group of 14 from Strathmore arrived this morning. We also have another guy staying with us. That makes for 17 white people in the house and all the Haitians out back. I am however very excited to see how much work they will be able to get done. I'm guessing the tiling will be done and hopefully the the supplies in the depot will be more accessible!

That's about all that's happening around here. Should be a busy weekend and week with the group and at work. We are working on the March summary report so will be able to compare now to February. Feels good to have some system in place. Slowly but surely.
