End of Weekend
Thirty minutes from now it will be Monday, our first day back at work after our home assignment in the US and Nigeria. Barb will be going back to her usual job, two mornings a week in the office. I’m excited, though, because for me it will be the first day of not only a new job assignment but a whole new career field as I take on the IT (computer support) job for SIM. Dan Uland, the current IT person, knows much more about computers than I but will soon be leaving for 6-12 months. I get to have some fun!

Lizards are welcome in our home because they eat insects. I sometimes feel sorry for them thinking that they probably don’t have enough insects to survive very long, but I guess that’s life in the jungle. Here is a baby lizard I found in the sink this week, only an inch long. He escaped down the drain, perhaps to a richer life in the soakaway or septic tank.

While I’ve been happy overall not to have the responsibility of the pediatric service on my shoulders in the past few months, I do feel sad at times to be away from those particular patients I had grown to know, especially those in the HIV/AIDS clinic since I saw them so often and rejoiced to see their progress. As Saralynn mentions in her blog entry, one of those friends died some time ago and we just heard about it (I only heard the news from Saralynn). I’m sad he died, and sad not to have been involved with him since last year. I do miss these special little kids.

So glad for your new job assignment. It can be very energizing to do something different! I look forward to future postings telling us how it’s going for you.
