The Most Vulnerable I've Ever Been

November 13, 2007 - Things are going well...but a couple of nights ago I had the worst experience of my trip so far. The day started out well I went on a hike/run to the top of a mountain that overlooks my town, didnt make it to where I wanted to go but Im going to have a guide next time. Got back to town, bought a big pot at the market for baking, and made a really good dinner and chocolate cake for dessert. Went to bed happy. A few hours later (no idea what time because when I tried to look at my phone it was finally fully broken, wouldnt even turn on) I started feeling crappy in my dream and my pillow was made of chocolate cake so I was turning so I couldnt smell it, etc. but eventually I woke up and couldnt go back to sleep because my stomach felt so bad. The next 5 hours consisted of me going to the bathroom every 15 mins and having terrible diahrea, forcing water down after even though I usually puked it up soon after. I didnt fall asleep, just laid in bed listening to what I knew couldnt be mice because I hadnt had them in my house before (but no, Id left my door, with the key in it, wide open). Laying sick in Africa with no phone and my door wide open will be hard to beat in terms of vulnerability (dont worry I always lock my door especially now...and my town is very friendly...not that people wouldnt steal). I got one mouse out a few days ago but I know theres another because it broke into my pasta last night. O yea for those of you who know about "the club" or might be able to guess what it is I joined it that night. Twice. The laundrys still soaking. I have other updates but my it wont let me use my usb. Ill figure it out soonish or come back and update.
