{day nine and ten}
due to my nannying a family for the week, i was unable to get on and update my blog yesterday. it was a very eventful day however.
1. trip to the medical supplies store.
thanks to wonderful amazing kim averett at stat medical supply i was able to get loads and loads of medical supplies. four box fulls to be exact. four boxs full of gloves, bandaids, gauze, sizzors, tweezers, tape, antibiotic ointment, etc. thank you again to all of you who made donations! they are going to a great cause.
2. trip to barnes and noble.
one thing you may not know about me is that i love good looking books. i go against the common cliche by juding a book by its cover. i love leather, i love frayed pages, and i love classics. one thing i really really wanted for my trip to africa was a journal to record all of my exciting adventures, and what do you know? barnes and noble had a beautiful leather journal just waiting for me! i love it already and can't wait to put it to use in only 18 days!
3. trip to walmart.
mosquito spray--a definite must! tanzania is infested with tons and tons of mosquitos, which carry malaria...which i do not want to get! i'm taking pills, but i figured that for my own comfort and extended safety i better get the best of the best bug spray. i got to the aisle of bug spray and had to choose from 10 different kinds of bug spray, 25% deet, 40% deet, deet free....how the heck am i supposed to know what is best? i decided to go with the sportsman MAX ...max just made it sound pretty grand. lets hope!
4. trip to smiths.
since walmart didn't carry it i had to make one more stop to smiths in search of a medicine called afterbite which is supposed to do wonders for itching mosquito bites! and seeing as how i'll get tons and tons of mosquito bites, i thought it just might be worth it to spend a little money to give me the slightest bit of comfort.
overall it was a very eventful and busy day! {pictures will come soon}
