I cannot seem to track down my perscription for my Malaria prophalxis no matter how I try.
I keep calling the clinic and they keep sending me to different locations in search of my Doxycyclin .
It was a bit scary for me to go zooming down State st on my little scooter while cars buzzed around me. I felt like I was flying down the road only to realize that I was going 45 in a 55.
That is why I avoid that street all together, ALL THE TIME!

Travel clinic appointment was a success.
It turns out I am 5'7 after all!
I KNEW I WASN'T 5'6! haha

Tomorrow I am going to the travel clinic.
I am anticipating that this is going to be a very expensive visit. Maybe close to the cost of my airplane ticket to Ecuador.
Pray that my insurance covers some of the cost.

last day house-sitting

for now that is.
tengo una semana de libre, entonces yo vivo aqui para otra semana.
(my Spanish is very bad I know, but I must practice.)
I have one week back at Brenda's house, then I am here again for one more week.
I love house sitting here because she is closer to downtown, but that means that I am farther from work and have to drive close to a half-hour to get there instead of 10 minutes.

Today was a crazy day.
I got up early to go to first service at church.
In all my brilliance, I convinced myself that the service started at 9:30.
I arrived at the church a few minutes after 9:30and found myself walking into the sermon. I missed worship because service actually started at 9am. AH!

Then I came home to eat and rest and hopefully talk to Andres for a little.
We only got to talk for a few minutes before it was my time to leave for work.
It was supposed to be day off, but I have CBTs (Computer based training) that need re-doing.
I spent almost 3 hours sitting in front of a computer going over company policies and such (even though many of these policies are no longer in effect.). After 3 hours, I was only 1/4 of the way done.
My manager then pages me in the office and asks if I can work 6 to close at the store in Nampa.
I told her I could not work that late because I am house sitting and need to feed the pups, not to mention I have no car and cannot take my scooter on the free-way, AND I was wearing jeans and sandals.
I then was asked to just cover Happy Hour, and I could drive my Manager's car there.
I agreed to it and headed out.
Good thing I had forced the girls at the other store to teach me how to use their espresso machine.
I ended up covering the other barista's break which meant working alone in that foreign cafe, and even running drive thru which meant using a crazy head-set thing.

I rushed back to my Cafe right after, and then rushed back to my present home even faster.

Tomorrow I work and have a few other important things to get sorted.
Tuesday I go to the Travel Dr. to get things all sorted for Ecuador and Ethiopia. :D
Hooray!!!
I can handle being a human pin-cushion again if it means adventure is in my near future.


I am also very sorry about my lack of photos lately. My camera just broke a few days ago. The screen is a goner, so I need to keep my eyes open for a new one. I had a feeling my camera would be dying soon. That dear camera and I have seen some great things and places together. :/

:D

Y ahora necesito ir. Porque yo estoy cansada!

Today I climbed a mountain, and sat there awhile looking down over the valley.
 I do not mean figuratively, I mean literally.
