It’s late and I’m tired, which is nothing new. I am alone at the house so I did all my ironing tonight, which took forever. I really suck at ironing.

This morning I went into town and met with the woman who distributes Poly-Tanks in Kumasi. I am going to attempt to fundraise enough to put twelve more up in Kumawu, as well as buy a truck with two more tanks on it to fill the rest. I think the total cost will be about 25 grand. I got some cost estimates from her and will see her next week.

That was the end of my productivity today. When I got to the office, my computer wouldn’t turn on. Actually, it would, but the screen wouldn’t come on. Fortunately, right next to our office is a computer repair shop and they fixed it. But it took all afternoon. It was pretty funny actually, because the problem was quite simple, but each time the guy put the thing back together, something didn’t work and he had to start again.

Dr. Addae left me with a fair amount to do, so tomorrow should be pretty busy. The Peace Corps place has a huge library so Jennifer gave me Hocus Pocus by Kurt Vonnegut and I finished it tonight. I don’t really know what to make of it. It reminded me a lot of Catch-22. It was pretty bleak, but wickedly funny at parts. Ok, that’s all.
