Well what can I say about today..?!
I woke feeling bit worse than yesterday, had a cough since the weekend but seem to be coming down with a bit of the cold now :( and felt really sick.
Never the less, I was still fine :) It was a community project day, and the morning was spent at the feeding programme! Really can't believe it's two weeks since we last went to help hand out food supplies to the same 400 elderly/sick people. This programme really does make you think twice about everything, it brings a tear to your eye to see some of them barely able to walk, even though they've walked miles to get to us, for their fortnightly food supply!
We handed out the supplies in record time and we were all back to the cottage by 11am, suited me fine because by this time I was feeling awful. Just couldn't figure out why I was feeling so bad though lol. Went straight to bed and slept for 2 hours solid, totally missed lunch but wasnt feeling up for much anyway. Just nauseated and felt totally lethargic.
Probably should have stayed at home in the afternoon but I didn't, it was back to Makau disabled school where we helped the children weave door mats for them to sell and make some money. The kids there are all so happy, it's such a great sight so see them all having fun. It's a different world, knowing they've never had electric, never seen a tv, their clothes are all torn and damp, they don't have a toilet or shower, they eat the same porridge for breakfast and lunch everyday and then have a flour type meal for dinner! To finish off the afternoon there was a game of ball, volunteers vs the kids! Looked amazing fun but I was on the sidelines watching :( totally gutted I didn't have the energy to join in!
November is known as a rainy season in Kenya and about 4pm it certainly was. Absolutely amazing thunder and lightening storms and the road just started to flood on our journey back.
Went straight to bed when I got back, as was freezing cold - caught up with writing my blog, then had a shower and cup of tea, felt so much better after that.
Anyways i'm off for an early night tonight, it's only 9pm and totally done in! Just had some text banter with Dad, well more like he has just slagged me off for the past half an hour!!! I'll get you back don't worry!
Fingers crossed I'll be back to my normal self tomorrow :)
Chow for now
