not so weird

So, it really wasn’t as weird as I thought it would be to have Catherine here. It was a little awkward right away, but then she got to work and we started school and it was fine. I was aware she was there the whole time, but I didn’t feel as “watched” as I thought I would (one thing I REALLY don’t like). She did a bunch of sweeping and wiping that we just haven’t had time to do, made us nshima and rape for dinner (always better than when I try), then worked on some clothes. The girls and I still helped with some when we weren’t doing school. But it was really a change in the feeling of the day for me. I didn’t have this huge list in my mind of all I had to do. We were able to spend a little more time on school and it just seemed a lot more relaxing of a day. She will come and help me out three days a week to start. Who knows? We may even start to change our clothes every day since we’ll have help washing them! It’s the middle of the afternoon and I have no guilt about spending 45 minutes typing on the computer for the blog!
