So much to say, so little time

I'll keep this short because we don't have any hydro and I don't want to drain the invertor or use all the gas in the generator:) So much to talk about... we have three visitors here right who I never see because they are always working (they are nurses working at a clinic). Marie graduated from her 2 year course in sewing, floral arrangements etc. Went to her fashion show and her graduation. Had some strange personal space issues at the graduation, I think personal space is just not an option here. I threw a small party for Marie at the house afterwards, she was thrilled. Have a strange cat living in the house that scares the crap out of me and I end up hiding in my room in fear. (it's kind of freaky and I'm afraid it will bite me and seeing my history with animals in Haiti I will keep a safe distance). Jenny is gone for a week so I'm living by myself and the invertor is almost dead so I sit with a candle and try to read my book and not be scared!!! What an adventure living in Haiti is. Last night I was sooooooo happy because we got city water and I was able to put water in the cistern on the roof and have running water in the house but then I forgot all about it and it ended up filling the roof with water too.... I think by the time I figure everything out it will be time to leave. Speaking about leaving. I will be leaving in approximately 11 weeks. Isn't that crazy??? I am starting to feel really sad about leaving the people here. I guess that's part of life. I will try and post some pictures soon. Here's hoping...
