One of those days

Today was one of those days. We worked hard in the sweltering heat. Laurens made it through customs inspections and a million little jobs. I had successful meetings to prepare for our new initiative at the clinic. Then we almost got lunch in. I got called to the office to help with last minute crises for the 8am tomorrow ministry of health license renewal of our hospital, and found myself tracing blueprints and writing last minute job descriptions. Lunch came, just not when it was supposed to. Later, we both rushed home (up the rocky hill on my ATV) with 1/2 hour to spare before hosting home church........Only to find the toilet overflowed all though the house, which would not be so bad to clean up except the water had run out in the cistern. With a trickle from the tap, we filled the bucket and cleaned up floor. Sweating like crazy and not wanting to stink out the rest of our home church gatherers, I squatted Haitian style to shower under the tiny stream of water that emerged from my tap. The shower never felt so good.

Things were good for too long.....we should have expected a day like this :)
