It was another one of those days!

For some reason the numbers just wouldn't work out! When I finally did get them to work out, Excel decided to come up with a reference error that I couldn't, for the life of me, resolve. I ended up just creating a macro to hand-jam the numbers so I wouldn't have to manually count them. (If you saw the spreadsheet you'd understand). The pressure was on all day for this report so it was very frustrating to come up with numbers I couldn't use. Ah well - in the end, the report was finished. To add to it, two hours were taken away from the morning/early afternoon for "Safety Presentations". We had to re-learn how to take care of ourselves while here. (i.e. sun block, repellant, wearing the body armor, etc. etc.) PLUS they were testing the loud speaker in our building much of the afternoon. "TEST, TEST...tap tap tap...TEST TEST SCREEEECH!! tap tap..SCREEEECH!!! TEST TEST". Eye-yi-yi

Ok. Enough complaining. :)

We recieved a package from my mom today. She sent yummy puppy chow (rice chex smothered in chocolate/peanut butter/powdered sugar), seasoned oyster crackers, and chex mix.. Mmmm..she also sent Mike his CDs, some sweat pants, some pillow cases, AND a home-made sweater for Mike. It's a gorgeous sweater however a bit too large for him. :S We'll have to bring it home so mom can alter it a bit...either that or Mike will have to grow a lot taller. ;) There wasn't a camera to be found so I don't have a picture to post yet - soon to come!

It's pouring outside tonight. So much so that they won't allow the locals to drive. Mike's currently driving them to the gate so they can take a bus (I'm guessing) home. I'm hoping it'll stop rather quickly so I can go home dry. It's Muay Thai night for me so I need to leave soon so I can make it in time. I suspect the rain will keep a lot of people away from kickboxing as well...guess we'll find out!

I'm going to go check if the rain is done yet....cross your fingers! Adios!
