Recap of my day.

6:15 Generator turns on, so does my brain from its sleep-induced coma.

7:25 open up the office.

8:00 devotions.

8:35 Generator seized, no bueno. No power, no internet, no printer. I'm sunk.

10:00 Decision made to take it to Soroti to meet up with another SP truck going to Kampala. AKA, I'm going to Soroti to get ice cream. In reality, a manager had to go because we were also buying about 400 litres of fuel, thus justifying the trip.

7:30pm arrive back. Here's what happened in between.

- Pass by bus that is perfectly perpendicular to the road. How it got that way I do not know. So we did a bit of off-roading to pass it. No biggie.

- Pass fuel truck as it too is stuck. No biggie.

- Arrive in Soroti, buy fuel, hand off generator.

- Hit cow on the way back. It was a little one, got caught under the bumper and left front tire. Skull crushed, no bueno. Drove away quickly so we don't get shot at.

- Get stuck trying to pass a bus. Get muddy trying to free vehicle. Prayed. Answered.

- Pass the bus that passed us because it too got stuck. Suckers.

- Arrive home/ at the office

- Blackboard post for school

- Played with my dog

- shower, eat and then go to bed.

This day is by no means normal or at least I hope it isn't. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Props to Desmond Tutu for his years of service and legitimacy in receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. Props to Halladay for a no-no in his first playoff start. Sorry I missed it. But I did get ice cream today so nothing can keep me down.
