- flown to Nairobi and back
- welcomed and been hosting an optometry team from Iowa
- watched one of the guests (DeAnne) get headbutted by a giraffe
- had the starter in my car replaced thanks to a minor fire (electrical short) in the engine!
- watched a huge tree get cut down on the road from the airport
- driven off the road to get around the fallen tree
- had no voice (sinus infection has gone to my chest)
- spoken too much, especially considering that I have no voice
- gotten too little sleep
- removed a bug from Faith's eye
- been the "pointer person" on the eye exam line, pointing at the letters the kids had to read out loud
- discovered that I officially have 20/15 vision
- watched two beautiful sunsets
- not gotten up early enough to watch the sunrise (but not slept in, either!)
- tried finding parts in town to build a phoroptor stand
- learned more about slit lamps, phoroptors, autorefrectors (and the reasons why I'm not an optometrist)
- killed five spiders (one just with my flat hand, which made me realize I've really gotten used to living here)
- tried to explain Kenyan culture to the visitors
- not gotten to my "regular" work
- shaken the hands of innumerable strangers along the way while walking with the team
- dozed off while writing a blog entry

When you are feeling more rested you have to explain the headbutt from the giraffe!
