I must start by saying Happy Birthday to you America! You don't look a day over 40...those botox injections and pilates classes sure are working out for ya. Go paint the town red, white, and blue :)
After celebrating America's independence with taco salad, cake, and fireworks that are illegal in the land of my forefathers, we went to sleep and awoke to re-enter the land of Swahili, pick pockets, and cross cultural miscommunication.
The week got off to a rough start for me. I felt nauseated, feverish, and ached all over. After trying (and failing) to sleep it off, I was driven to the clinic where I received a rainbow of antibiotics. Thankfully I slept a few hours more and when I woke up my fever was gone and my head had stopped pounding.
The rest of the week was spent typing up profiles for many of the micro-business owners I have been interacting with over the past month and a half. It is a tedious task to type for hours on end, but knowing the possible impact it will have on the future of their business and livelihood is a great refresher and motivator.
Progress feels slow, but it is steady, and I have to keep reminding my American mind that "efficiency" is a relative term. Time is soaring by, as it always does, and I cannot believe it is winding down so quickly. I am committed to soaking up every last bit of it that is remaining :)

Glad you got to a clinic. Hang in there, the end is in sight.
