Remember how exciting jumping beans were when you were little? I do. I thought they were magical! Well, last week I was in a meeting with a bunch of community volunteers from the mountain villages who came into town for the day. Suddenly, a bag that was sitting in a corner with some other purses and belongings went hopping across the room (literally). I startled, and was momentarily returned to the magic of my youth...until a women got up from the group muttering about her chicken and shoved him back in the corner. So much for magic.
Aside from the occasional interruption, the meeting was great. The community workers all care very much about the people in their villages and have dedicated themselves to learning more about health, and other ways to improve the quality of life for their neighbors. It is great to help empower people with information to make the important changes in their communities.
In unrelated news, I killed the first cockroach in my new apartment last night. I was wandering into the kitchen for some water when he LEPT out from behind my water jug (I swear he was going for my throat) and then scurried across the floor. Lucky for me, I still have no furniture in the kitchen, so there was nowhere for him to hide...also, I had already invested in a can of Raid. Score: Anna 1, cockroach 0. Ants are also frequent visitors in my apartment. The other day there were hundreds of them coming out of one of my electric outlets...I don't know where they were going, but I did my best to get rid of them too. They were back the next day.
Score: Anna 0, Ants alot.
I realize this is a much shorter blog than usual. But I have a lot to do today and can't think of much more to say right now. I'll post again soon :)
love to all.
