7:00am- Wake Up Call
-From the many different animals that scream outside my window at this absurd hour.
7:30am- Breakfast
-Usually cereal, eggs & toast.
-About once a week we do get BACON!
8:00am-8:30am- TV Time
-Depending on the amount of solar power that is left from the previous day, we usually are able to squeeze out about a half hour of news from the BBC.
*The TV guy was supposed to come yesterday, but never showed up. This was an inconvenience because Fr. Dan cancelled his plans for the day in order to let him in the house (Sounds a lot like the COMCAST guy!).
9:00am- Carpool w/ Fr. Donnie to the Office
9:01am- Arrive at the Office
-Fr. Donnie drives down the road (about 2 houses away), picks me up in his truck, and our commute begins…and ends.
9:01am-12:00pm- Organize Fr. Donnie’s Lifetime Compilation of Biblical Research
-Fr. Donnie employs about 5 or 6 people as members of his research team.
-They are a very personable group, who seem to really enjoy helping Fr. Donnie in his ministry.
-Unfortunately, they have never really learned how to properly organize data…and I’m pretty sure that they would all be diagnosed with ADHD in the US.
-Thus, I am in charge of this daunting task (…and yes, I know, that large collective “gulp” from all of you is completely justified).
-Let’s just put it this way: Muyunga and other member of the research team have already started referring to me as “Meester Sean”, and “Boss.”
12:00pm-1:00pm-Lunch
-Usually consists of leftovers from the night before in the form of soup.
1:00pm-6:00pm- Siesta
-Since I do currently reside among priests who are in their 80s, they usually sleep during this 5 hour period of time.
-I usually go for a run and/or explore Africa!
6:00pm-8:00pm- Tennis with Padre Dinardi
-Fr. Donnie kicks everybody off the court so he can get his exercise.
-Actually, he’s pretty good. I’d like to see the elders in Weymouth/Marco Island face-off against him (And yes…there is video evidence to prove it!).
8:00pm-10:00pm-Dinner
-We usually eat a lot of rice, beans, vegetables, and a chicken or something that I saw walking around the yard earlier on in the day.
-One thing that I have really grown to enjoy is rice w/ honey on it!
10:00pm-11:30-Surf the internet
-Catch up with my peeps!
11:30-Midnight
-Go to bed.
I like you mom enjoy your updates even if it is only about your rice with honey!
ReplyDeleteMiss you Seanny boy : )
Bacon once a week, that's more than you get at home. Loved the marketplace entry, cows are traded for wives Sean, not cheeseburgers. Your sister told me you have a sun burn! That is exactly why I told you to take the SKippy Pbutter out of your suitcase and put the sun screen back in.

Mom
Wow Sean staying up until midnight!! Africa has really brought out your youth
ReplyDeleteHi Sean, so glad to read about your activities. I think about you alot! Hope you can keep a smile on your face every day and the joy of Jesus will be in your heart every day too. Happy may not always be the adjective of the day, but if you can find and keep the Joy of Jesus, then you can handle whatever comes along. Praying for you. Ms. Andrea
