MIRACULOUS!
Have no fear, peoples. My computer has decided to turn on again. Just needed a day to rest I guess. For whatever reason, however, it's on and I'm writing this to you on it. Thank you for the concern if you even knew to be concerned. More later, too much happening to think clearly.
Dead Computer:(
As you may know, or not know, I have a 12 inch PowerBook G4 Mac and
it's a little old. I can't complain about it much because it has lived
up to it's reputation in reliability. However, all good things have an
end. Last night I couldn't get my computer to turn on. There was no
function noise except the sound it makes when it turns off. I thought
to myself, "This will pass. Time is all it needs". I guess not. Today
I tried multiple times to turn it on but to no avail. Perhaps it's a
sign. How do we know which are signs and which are temptations though?
They can look very similar at times. I don't have a lot of support and
this would make buying a new computer difficult. Especially since it's
about that time where I need to purchase a plane ticket to return to
the USA. I'm not worried about the harddrive. For the longest time the
only way I've been able to use my Mac is if it's plugged in. There's a
good chance that the power source and connection has given up. Updates
will follow as to the state of my technology difficulties. Don't
worry, I'm sure my friends will let me use theirs if it's needed. I
regret to say that my May newsletter is not done or accessible (if it
was done). If anyone can forward a link to my supporters that would be
wonderful. On a providential note, I have set-up my mobile blogging
just in time! Phew...what a day. Thank you to Benjamin and Kristine
for the package of pictures. I sat in the car and laughed with an
smile that couldn't have been wiped off my face for a few minutes
before driving back to my place. It was a bright moment in my day.

Team Day
Good morning. 9 am brought me to the Nest (Ken and Judy's house) for
breakfast. On the way over I felt so sick I almost threw up in the
car. But, it passed after a few minutes. Still, not a good start to
the day. Breakfast, on the other hand, made the morning so much
brighter. Bacon, eggs, toast with apple butter and marmalaide (believe
I spelled that wrong, my predictive text didn't bring it up), grits,
freshly squeezed orange juice, and filter coffee. An awe-inspiring
right. After we finished eating and discussing the upcoming retreats,
Judy gave me a pill to take away nausea. My plan was to sleep it off
but we're headed to a settlement school to deliver curriculum now.
Then we'll be visiting Addo Elephant Park so the two new team members
can see some African wildlife. A sight that never gets old. This pill
is going to knock me out... Until we finish out journey.

That's amore...
What a long day. It seemed to be a very emotionally open one. I cried,
got angry, became passive, and laughed all at different times and
places. Drained is how I feel. My head is hurting, my eyes burn, and I
feel cold. There's hope that this too shall pass though so don't get
your knickers in a twist over lil old me. Verse of the day: Proverbs
24:16
