Tues, 19 Jan

Tues 19 Jan: i got a lot accomplished today after chores. i have a ceiling fan in my room, but it is not over the bed. i also have a mosquito canopy for my bed (thank you, Kathy D) that i hadn't gotten up yet. i think i'm getting most of the bug bites at night, so i want to get that up. Last night i was thinking i should put my bed under the ceiling fan because i wasn't getting any air circulation where it was in the corner, duh....... so today, i moved my bed under the fan, and found some screws and the drill and put the canopy up over my bed. it's perfect now ! of course all this took a lot of time to find the supplies, and while i was in that 'supply' room i kind of organized it and familiarized myself with what was in there, ... for future projects. Madi has lots of 'stuff' .... like me ... you can almost always find what you need just by looking around. Pic of my bed with canopy ... do i sleep like a princess ? then decided to go for a swim, so i headed out to find something to eat on the way. a fast food take away place .... and 10min later, a chicken burrito ... not exactly McDonald's fast, but pretty fast for here on the island. and, the best part ... only B$5 ... i.e. US$2.50 :) when i returned home, Eddi (a woman) from the UK had arrived. she has been emailing Madi for over a year and now has come to stay for 2 months. it will be nice to have more help! i went to the Sports Bar to use their wireless, but ended up paying for the internet cafe in order to upload my photos. getting the photos in to my blog is becoming a time consuming and rather expensive task. i don't think there is a better way to do it here either.
