Not Surprising

It's harder to write, when not much changes day to day.
I think I am just getting so used to this crazy life.
At first I was so shocked everyday and did not think I would ever get used to this life.
Well, shocked now that not much shocks me anymore.

Walked into class and a lizard fell on my head
Paid at the store for a few things and got chiclets back as my change
Almost wrecked on the way to Gonaives because of a cow crossing the road
Almost wrecked on the way home from Gonaives because of a goat crossing the road
We are not allowed to go to certain towns because it is dangerous
The menu at the stop over, chicken, fish or goat...
My room has a rat zapper, three rat traps and rat posion
The other dorm of missionary girls have tadpoles in their shower water
Most Haitian kids know two things in English, Good morning and Give me one dollar

None of this really seems odd to me anymore....

Unless you get to leave Canann, each day really seems the same as the next. It can be very trapping at times, It is very hard to not have a car and to be able to just go anywhere. Not that there is really anywhere to go, but sometimes it just gets frustrating.
Elections are coming up March 20th which means even less traveling anywhere. Please pray that everyone stays safe and there are not crazy riots.

Hmmm...tadpoles in the shower water gives new meaning to cleaning out the shower drain! lol Since the election is March 20, do you think this has something to do with the prediction of the billboard signs about March 21? Strange? Love you. MM
