I am leaving on the field tomorrow morning

Things I am still waiting for:
-my passport with a brand spanking new visa inside
-my plane ticket
-some items I ordered for partners such as a new hard-drive for their computer with a power stabiliser
-receipt booklets for their finance department
-items I was to pick up from some sisters who want to send things to the area

Things that are ready:
-my suitcase

Percentage of control over this situation: 0%
Percentage stress about this situation: 100%

You seem so acclimated, you will be fine, I am sure. Although I know nothing goes really smoothly in my dear Congo, I wish you at least the second best!!

Worry not, have no fear. Ma mere te dirait: on ne peut s'en faire qu'avec ce sur quoi on peut avoir un impact.

Respira, querida, respira!

Hope you are back soon, I have nobody else to IM ;)

I got an email from Doro today saying that she has been stuck in Kananga, trying to get home for 3 days. Hence the blogging silence...

My motto for Congo - only stress about things you can control. Though you can certainly get annoyed at the things you can't
