I just spent my Friday afternoon writing my boss' personal ads for online dating sights. I think that sentence about sums everything up nicely.

Haiti Trip

Getting ready for the Haiti trip

Kamil is finally going to Haiti this weekend--there have been many setbacks, not the least being the Haitian government imposing a sizeable tax on any donated materials. Either they get to take half of anything you bring into the country, or they tax it--at a very outrageous sum, I might add. I understand they have no revenue, but to attempt to get it by taxing medical supplies and other donations?? Not cool. Anyway, so the trip has finally come together. Today was especially long. A t-shirt shop here in town donated so many sweatshirts--for the rainy, cold season Haiti is approaching--shirts, hats, shorts, and some little kid clothes. So we were going through all of that and packing Kamil's tubs with casting material. The plan is for Kamil and his two helpers to cast for the entire 10 days they will be there, and then for them to bring the casts back and for the prostheses to be built at Precision. After that, Kamil will return to fit the prostheses and hopefully cast some more. We are also starting an Adopt an Amputee program through Wyoming Haiti Relief, kind of like those sponsor a kid things except instead of food you would be helping them get a prosthesis, either a leg or an arm.

Living the Dream

I last posted that I had come down with pneumonia--lovely condition. Well, after I had been taking my medication for a week, I got really sick and then I started breaking out in hives. Back to the Dr. I am allergic to Biaxin. Good to know. Am now on a different medication for my pneumonia and can finally go back to work--it's only been 3 weeks of missing at least 3 days a week. I need a paycheck!

Kurt and Kat took the boys to Germany on Thursday morning. I am house-sitting, dog-sitting, cat-sitting, and fish-sitting. I am ok with being here solo. I get to go on my own vacation in April, after all. Except the dogs have decided that they can act out--being such neglected puppies, of course. They have eaten the entire contents of Kat's purse, peed on the couch pillows, and raided the boys' playroom. I am about ready to sell them!

I took them for a long walk this morning through almost knee-deep snow and am now contemplating the new Alice in Wonderland in 3D.
