Boy, just when I think the time is going so slowly here, I see that my last Bog posting was in October. So much has happened since then, from several health issues like pneumonia and the shingles, to the holidays and the wonderful visit I had with family in Dayton and friends in Florida.Though I had the flu thoughout most of my visit to Florida, it was great to be in America - even sick! - and wonderful to visit with as many people as I was able to see. At least there were great football games on TV, as I layed under a warm comforter on the sofa at Kadi's house.
In the meantime, work goes on at WIN Belize with several programs geared to helping young girls in a mentorship program gain self esteem and other life skills, and advocacy programs focusing on women's rights issues and another campaign to help people living with HIV/AIDS.
In the meantime, I was evicted from my apartment, and given 30 days notice the week before I came home for the holidays. I think when the landlord saw how I had fixed it up, she rented it to someone who would pay more. It has been very stressful since I got back on January 3rd and immediately started looking for another place. Finally, last Saturday I found the perfect apartment! It is on a safe, quiet street, right across from a nice park which is on the Caribbean Sea, so I have a view of the turquoise water and a lovely sea breeze all day. I'm painting and cleaning today and moving tomorrow and Thursday. It's amazing how much I've accumulated in the last 10 months! I think it will take 3 trips to get all my belongings to my new home, but I am very excited and think I will like it better than where I am currently living. (I know I'll like the landlord more!)
I'll put pictures on the blog after I find my camera that is packed away, but I wanted to be sure to tell you if you send any mail, to please send it to my new address listed on the right side of my Blog. My new address is on South Park! Ironic?!
