Hooray for...hey! i get to be the first commenter! Hooray for you- it's so good to hear about your new life. I sure know what you mean about it being exhausting to work all day in another language. I still toil away at improviong my kreyol but I am sure I still sound like an juvenile idiot. I was so frustrated today because I realy thought I was speaking perfectly when asking my patients in clinic the litany of symptoms, yet they would just sit there not answering- Jacob told me it's because they are just so shocked that I am speaking kreyol that it takes them a minute to process the blan speaking the language. Can't say that this fatigue brings on sleep, as we still have the heat, the bugs, the dogfights at 2 am, and the rooster brigade interfering. <br /><br />I hope to go home soon but am still needed here for a few more days. Dad is lonesome so I will try to get there soon. Love you! Thanks for the blog!<br />MomCynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02724253808486789301noreply@blogger.com
