I am feeling quite bad at the moment. My life has undertaken another big change and my body is going through the motions of change and adjustment. I moved in with a Swazi family yesterday. I’m 30 years old and haven’t lived at home (except for a short period last year – thanks mom) since I was 19. I now live with a single mother, a 20 year old sister who hates me because I took her room and two boys aged 6 and 10. The all slept in until 5am this morning and then the gospel beats were being pumped at 5:30. The house is cute, far from the city and my gym but I guess it’ll do. My room is also the TV room and the sister-who-hates-me-storage room. People are in and out of it constantly. There is no shower and the tapes are the separate hot and cold ones…..how the #### am I supposed to wash my hair? The cockroaches aren’t the biggest I’ve seen and they promised to keep their killer dog chained up until I get home. ‘My’ room is bright orange however. I love orange.
Work…..no one knew I was coming here. On paper I have a job and a title but in reality no one has any idea what to do with me. I’m so glad I left Zim where I had the best internship ever. I’m so glad I postponed school so I could sit and be useless. Yes Yes Yes.

Hey Katie - what's all this about being down? You and I both know that you've faced much bigger hurdles than this and came out the other side laughing... true a good deal of your body needed to be bandaged and placed in plaster... and ok there were a few surgical procedures... but you still survived coz thats what you do well - you find the humour and the lesson in situations and I know you will here as well.
You can hardly be callin yourself "fara girl" if y'ain't got no fara!
Hang in there - there will be a purpose for you being where you are!
karlos....thanks hun. you are a sweetie. miss you xox
