FOB Smart at 1800 - Friday
I made the mistake of playing a little kick-around with a tiny soccer ball this late afternoon. My knees are jacked; they have been since I slipped and fell again twice here on ice and snow. I am not complaining but they do seem more swollen and painful now lately (10+ months). Whatever... our wonderful PRT doctors may be gracious to me again and shoot them both with more steroids and numbing agents - talk about relief.
I went to four projects this morning during a mission outside the wire. Progress is evidenced more now that our local partners have bad 10 days of good concrete pouring weather. I am excited to see the workers busy all around again. I took a few more photographs and posted them herein and on Facebook already. What struck me today was the amount of people still waiting for wheat distribution. It seems to take forever and they wait in queue all day and sometimes night long. It was a good mission nevertheless.
I am tired through to my bones; I guess from the walking on the mission and the limping with my knees afterward and this afternoon. It could not be because I am getting older and need more rest or because I work seven days a week at more than 12+ hours a day on average. No, it must be a result of changing my alarm to wake me up an additional 45 minutes early each morning.
143, Kaesen.
Good night and good day.
