Sylvia's Journal

The tying up of loose ends today got pushed to the back of the stove as new urgencies showed up on the front. In a truly collaborative and collegial effort we responded to one of our stakeholders’ rather complex request and produced desired plans and then discussed them. It took most of the day and past daylight. I was proud of the team effort.

I cleaned up my office, turned off the lights and left a Ugandan proverb on my desk about vision, for when I return.

I sorted out our pick-up tomorrow morning early to make sure all for four adults and one kid plus various suitcases will fit. Back home I handed out Eid gifts to our guesthouse staff, passed all untouched food to the guards who are having a banquet tonight, finished the mango ice cream myself and now it is time to pack and turning in early. The alarm is set for 4 AM, wheels up scheduled for 7:45. Dubai and my honey, here I come.
