Good news, bad news dept.
The good news — I turned in the layout for our United Way campaign brochure this morning, a project I was worried about completing before the trip.
The bad news — Yesterday, I sent a rude, know-it-all e-mail to one of my teammates and I still feel bad about it. We had a disagreement about some plans related to departure. I sent her an apology yesterday and still haven’t heard back.
The good news — Thanks to timely reimbursement from LEAMIS for some previous expenses, and a generous and unexpected contribution from my Sunday School class, I was able to buy some last minute trip essentials yesterday and will be in good shape as far as spending money for the trip.
The bad news — Wal-Mart apparently doesn’t carry mortar-and-pestles. (Mortars and pestles?) Neither does the neighborhood health food store, nor Eckerd drugs. I want one for the trip so that we can use it to grind up lavender as a fragrance additive for soap. (Some domestic soapmakers now seem to use coffee grinders, but that does me no good when teaching rural Kenyans.)
