I hope it’s Friday. It better be Friday. I’m lying in bed like brocolli and catching up on my TiVo programming right now and it’s awesome. So far I’ve watched the Season Finales of Ugly Betty and Grey’s Anatomy and I’m on Tuesday’s episode of Days of Our Lives. Ah…. This has been one wild and crazy week and it’s only going to get worse in the weeks to come. I need to learn how to clone myself. Anyone know if they’re doing that with humans yet?

Speaking of work, I’m in the middle of recruiting a friend of mine to come work with me. Dave just got back from two years in Guyana volunteering for the Peace Corps and 6 months of traveling Southeast Asia. Now he’s back home and looking for a job. So, he contacted me this week and came by this afternoon to check out my school and clinic. I also got to meet his girlfriend Lucy who’s really cool. They actually met in Guyana…aw, cute. After showing them around, I couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed of how I live and where I work. I may have it rough at work sometimes but they made me feel like I had a wealth of support and equipment. They also talked about how life is so different here with all the driving and technology. They also commented on how such large sums of money are spent each day for such large amounts of food. After living in such rural conditions for so long I suppose their recent trip to Costco seemed really silly.
