Uganda Day 25: On Good Reads and Bad Ones

Sadly, I think I've reached the point where I'll have to put an end to the daily blogs. During the week, there's just not enough happening for me to write anything interesting. And it's gotten to the point where I don't even have anything boring to write about, because it's often very similar to what happened the previous day. If I maintain the daily blogging, I'll be on here telling you five times each week about how I went to work and came home. ...

Uganda Day 24: Pancake Syrup

For only the second time since I've been working at FHRI, I ate the free lunch at the office today. The first time was on my first day, and every day between then and now I've purchased food elsewhere. It's become something of a routine, and you sort of get accustomed to it, but I really should try to eat at the office more. I need to curb my spending. Especially on food. But at the same time, it might be worth it just as an excuse to get out of the office for a while. ...

Uganda Day 23: Back to Reality

After yesterday's post, it's difficult to find something worth writing about today. Reality hits hard, even in Uganda. Sipi Falls already seems like it was ages ago!

I'm actually so excited to get the real ones onto my computer and see how they all turned out. I probably took far too many photos, but it's hard to resist in a place like that. ...

Uganda Days 19-22: A Weekend in Sipi Falls

I'm back! I tried my best to post this on Sunday evening, but by the time I got back it was already quite late, and as you're about to find out, it's a long one. Better late than never!

Friday

If I had to describe my Friday in one word, that word would probably be hellish, followed closely by horrific and abhorrent. To say that this weekend got off to a bad start would be an understatement in the extreme. It really began on Thursday. ...

Uganda Day 18: Getting Ready for the Weekend

Today has been a busy one. I had a bunch of errands to run, especially since we are departing tomorrow for Sipi Falls. But before any of that, I had some work to do. In the morning I went down to my usual spot at La Patisserie and finished making the outline for the section I'm working on. I didn't have time to write it, unfortunately, so that will have to wait until Monday. Shouldn't be too difficult now...just a matter of actually getting words on the page. ...
