Saturday, Day 21: Is it nap time?

It has been 3 weeks. It feels like I have been here for three months. This week might kill me. Sothida and I worked on the agenda for our next faculty retreat this coming Thursday for which Tracy suggested some major edits. Back to the drawing board... and trying hard to muster the energy, the motivation, the interest... after another no-start, we accompanied Shelby and Borpha to purchased supplies for this week's research training workshops. I decided to stop at the grocery store to buy chocolate for the employees of our guesthouse. I especially felt the need to thank Vida, the sweet young man who goes to bed by the front door of the building and who I keep waking up to unlock the door when I stay out working or playing. Tonight was the same - I went to my regular bar on the corner and ordered a fresh coconut... with a shot of rum to pour inside it. By the end of the night, Sothida and I had a re-drafted agenda for Thursday - we'll see how it's received.
