Karma

So the day after my last post, I burn the S*&%t (sorry Granny) out of my finger while making soap with one of my women's groups...I am totally aware that that's karma for burning the dog, no matter how gross and dirty the dog is.

Live and learn.

It still burns though, so warning chemical burns hurt for a long time, and don't put anything greasy on them...it just makes the burning worse.

PUES....

It's pouring with rain, and I got stuck on the phone with the Peace Corps language teacher, and am therefore not going to go to work this afternoon....I was meant to walk up to the Puesto de Salud (not the centro where I normally work) which is about 7 km UPHILL from here and give a charla to a group of women who may or may not show up (it's my newest women's group), but honestly the thought of walking uphill for an hour/hour and a half in the pouring rain does not appeal so I'll go when it's sunny and reschedule, as it is the rain is probably sleet up there as it's so high, (As I told Shivvy, work ethic is my middle name).

So, the plans for the rest of my afternoon go as follows:

• Eat homemade bean and rice burritos
• Soak underwear to hang up later
• Do some spanish work in your spanish workbook
• Prepare charlas for this weeks visits to schools
• Make shopping list for items needed for women's cooking class in Chihuitan
• Clean chicken poop off of floor underneath computer table
• Do washing up (preferably after the rain, as the Pila's outside)
• Buy cheese from Adalee - as I saw her milking the cow earlier today
  

My life is pretty exciting.
