Mo is gone. She was Med-evaced to Hawaii. It’s lonelier when you best friend in country leaves. I hope she gets better soon and is allowed to come back.

I got up early this morning and came in for coffee with Pisa and Lea. I had missed another three days of the coffee club an I missed them terribly. One of these days I will actually get a picture of the lovely ladies and post it here. Our morning visits over coffee have become an emotional sanctuary for me. So it was worth it for me to get up at 7:30 on a Saturday to see them.
I then did god’s own amount of shopping (and those who know me know I’m not generally really very fond of shopping and avoid it as much as possible). I had never been to SVM’s which is the closest we get to a wholesale store. So I went and checked it out. I found refried beans, so I got six cans. Then I headed off next door to another store I’d never been to called “Hanna’s”. I found Turmeric and Garam Massala. Tonight I will make my first try and fish Tikka Massala! I am very excited!
Next was a trip to BlueBird hardware. I got light bulbs for the new reading lamp I purchased in Pago (I was unable to find a reading lamp here for anything under 95 tala. I found one in Pago for $7.95 US, which translates to roughly 20 tala. I will have to use a power transformer but I have one that is not currently in use soooo it’s all good.) Then off to Lucky food town to buy fresh basil and eggs. They were out of eggs. Followed by a stop at the bank and then to Chan Mow. I found “Louisiana style” hot sauce, some fabric I needed, and the eggs. So now I am loaded down with groceries and other good things.
On top of the things I brought back from Pago it feels a little like Christmas.
