Yesterday was very interesting. We saw the patients that you see in the post below.
Then when I got home I received two care packages. One from Kenny and Margie and another from the group in Florida that I will be telling you about tomorrow.
Kenny and Margie hooked me up yet once again. They sent some nice wool sheets which are very fitting since the temps will be in the 20's next week. They also sent me 2 sweatshirts, a bunch of Christmas movies. We watched the first one last night "Christmas Vacation" while having three of our TERPS over for Chain. It was our first time trying to make Chai ourselves and well was pretty interesting too. One thing that we have plenty of over here is a shortage of electrical outlets. This leads to daisy chaining. I think we had been pushing the laws of electricity before the Chai gathering. Then we not thinking about the consequences plug the water heating element into the already overloaded circuit. It started heating the water up just fine, then it began to smoke a little and gave off some sparks. My heart sank as I saw all our internet servers lights go out. We scrambled around for a while trying to find a less overloaded outlet, because we had to get the water hot to make the Chai. At the same time I am trying to make sure all the network equipment was working correctly. After about 20 minutes of suspense everything came back online and we did not burn the Hut down. At the end of the night the interpretors suggested we do this in their hut the next time.
