Welp, it’s one day before the good ol’ 2-0 birthday, and what am I doing but laying in bed because I have a fever and feel like (insert appropriate swear-word). Last night might have been one of the worst nights of sleep in my entire life as I failed to go to sleep for 3 hours because I was shaking uncontrollably because I was freezing…yes I was freezing in Africa. Anyway, I’m hoping this will pass if I just lay low all day today, go ahead and pray for that.
OK, so what’s been going on. I think my last blog was the 3rd which would have been Tuesday. Since then we’ve had good times. Let’s see, I think Tuesday was the day I went on a run and saw 5 zebra, which is always quite the reminder of God’s beauty, and an opportunity for me to talk like a baby and tell them how pretty they are, all the while hoping nobody runs by and catches me mid-sentence.
Wednesday, we went to see the Drakensberg Boys Choir. It’s a boys boarding school about an hour and a half from our AE campus. These boys have to try out for the boarding school, and if they have a good voice they get in and do performances for our group, and just about every person 60+ years of age near the area. Anyway, it was really entertaining, and very fun, and that was about it for Wednesday.
Thursday we didn’t have anything on the schedule so most of us went to Durban again, chilled at the beach, and then we to a revolving restaurant which was phenomenal, but could be the kryptonite that landed me in bed today. Actually, I was feeling under my A game prior to the revolving restaurant so that wasn’t it. It was so good!
Now here I am, on my 15th straight hour in bed. We have our community engagement classes today, tomorrow, and Monday, so it’s a shame I’m missing it. Anyway that’s life right now. I’ll talk to you again when I’m feeling better!
