Well, I've been on night shift for.....actually I don't even know how long I've been on night shift. Long enough to lose all track of time, days of the week, or even what month it is. Ughhh...I now remember why $$ is the only reason to work nights, which is why I'm working nights. I have several pictures of Guatemala on my locker and one on my clipboard to remind me why I am putting myself though this misery.
Right now I am listening to Enrique Iglesias on my computer, in Spanish no less. I can only understand a bit of what he says, but I figure its good exposure. It also reminds me that I need to work on my Spanish today.
Lets see...what else is new......
I have a "new" car. The quotations are there because its a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, which is 4 years older than my other car (piece of crap that it is). Its older, but it has less than 75,000 miles on it and is in good working condition. I bought it from a couple at my church for a good price. It doesn't get the best gas mileage, but I don't have to worry about it making very funny noises, leaking oil, shimmying in strange ways on the freeway, or just afraid to go anywhere because the car might die. It was a good buy and hopefully will serve me well until I get back from Guatemala next year.
Not much new news on the Guatemala front. I'm still waiting to hear back from Dr Tito, the head of the medical team down there. He's been busy with clinics/trips and both of his boys have been very sick (which always happens when he is out on clinics...a definitely attempt by the enemy to disrupt work there). I'll be e-mailing him again here in a few weeks, just to touch base. I did, however, hear from Oscar...now don't get all excited...it was just a quick note asking how I was, how my Spanish was coming along, and when I was coming back to Guat. I'm hoping that Tito and Rolando are coming for a quick visit this fall to attend a medical missions conference in Tennessee and that Oscar will be able to join them. They usually make a stop in Seattle to speak at some churches to raise support, but I haven't heard anything for sure. I'm tentatively planning on going to the conference, as I'm definitely interested in medical missions.
Well, I need a nap.

Thanks for stopping by today! You wore out the kids really well, and it appears they wore you out too :)
Congrats on the car as well... I don't think its a granny car!
Since I haven't seen the car yet and won't for a bit, I went to the internet and found a picture. I don't know if it is the right color, but it gave an idea about it. Here's the link for any that are similarly curious.

At least you heard. That's a step in the right direction! Congratulations on the "new" car. That's a terrible feeling to have a vehicle doing odd things while you're driving it
Love,
