Flooding, Ranting and Eating!

Well on Wednesday July 25th it rained. As it does every day. However, it rained so hard that we got to experience our first flooding on our way to meeting! I should emphasize, that it wasn't the first flooding here. Just for us. It floods downtown each time that there are torrential rains here. The flooding made us late for meeting and they held the meeting up for us all to arrive. The other truck was even later than us. It was very exciting. We didn't get stuck, although I wouldn't have minded. The guys might've though. Since they would be the ones to carry us out and push the truck out if we did get stuck. And the water is NOT something you want to be swimming around in. Ew.

Brave little Fake Jeep.



Tri-Shaws lined up. The curbs are very high here since it rains and floods so often. This time though the floods were too much for most of the curbs.
I had a householder part with Kit Kit that night. I was nervous because we started out with me stomping up to the stage and ranting about the rent. It went well though because she had done such a good job preparing the part.

Wednesday I was very proud of myself because I thought I had finished most of my goals for the week. Til Kendra and Matt asked me if I had cleaned the outside toilet yet. Uh. I didn't know there was one. So. Thursday first thing guess what I cleaned?

My first Myanmar toilet. Which I cleaned by getting the hose. I know how to handle a challenge. I threw a bucket of disinfectant PineSol on it and hosed it down. Finished! After that I passed out linens which is my favorite thing to do because I get to fold them all pretty. Not fancy but neat. Thursday evening Matt made chocolate chip cookie bars. YUMMMM!

Friday evening Kerry and I did Just Dance on the Wii for an hour for a workout and then Matt joined us after he got done at the gym. We stuck to our health plan by eating the rest of the chocolate chip cookie bars. After all that exercise we needed to rebuild our strength.

Guess I didn't eat enough of the chocolate chip cookie bars because I woke up on Saturday morning with the distinct impression I was coming down with something. Which I did. I stayed in all day trying to give myself a head start on resting, but to no avail. Got sick anyways. For 5 days. I missed 2 parties! Matt went to both. Pictures to come!
