Housekeeping

I have been very grateful that the wasps have not come back to my house. It has made life much more pleasant. Now, my house is still lacking a few of the necessities (table, shelves, tidiness) but it still feels home-y (home-ish? home-like?). My bed was the biggest problem, but nothing a little duct tape can't fix. Okay, a lot of duct tape. Let's just hope it holds. And that the chiropractor doesn't take me to the cleaners when I get back.

In more disappointing news, the price of soda at the shop near my house is up to 35 shillings (about 44 cents) for a half-liter. Sigh, maybe it's a sign that I should cut back a little bit.

I have been eating three meals a day this week. Well, breakfast and dinner are both cereal (not that uncommon in my childhood as well), but at least I'm forcing myself to eat. The supermarket in Voi has started stocking South African cereals (750 g for 490 shillings is still better than most boxes at the grocery store near my dorm last year). This week's cuisine has featured muesli and a few other things and I have been adding honey and peanut butter. Yum! The third meal is lunch provided by the school. I wish the other teachers didn't enjoy matumbo (intestines, usually from goat) so much. I don't like picking it out of my greens. ::Cringe::
