It’s Oliver’s 14th birthday and I am missing him so much. This morning I rode to get my phone charged by someone with a battery charger and his radio was playing the local happy birthday song. Youch! That was a tough one. But now I know my plan is the right one – I'll wait till the kids are older – say in 5 years – before I find a job in the field. My field work is at home right now. I’m grateful I’ve had this opportunity and the degree wouldn't be worth much if I didn’t get into the field. This is what I want to spend my time doing later but I’ll find some way to contribute from behind a desk for now. My kids are the most important and I’m glad I know that for sure!
Malaria update. I’ve learned, as Caroline appeared the next day without a fever, that malaria is everywhere and usually only lasts a day or two. I carry my medicine around and hand out tablets at least 2ce a day. Everyone’s got it. The mosquitoes aren’t even noticeable and the bites don’t itch – nothing like the bombers in northern Sweden. Many now think I’m some sort of doctor and today I was asked if I had some tablets for a woman who was almost blind. So if there are any doctors out there…..you’re needed here!
