Gulu, Uganda Open Space - Day 2 (Tuesday)

• R was quite sick on the airplane over to Uganda and after the bus ride yesterday, skipped the opening day to rest. We ended up taking her to the hospital in the evening. That’ll be a whole post of it’s own, but in short, we both spent the night in the hospital. I expected to get picked up between 8 and 9am so I could have breakfast and do morning news at 9am. R was discharged about 9:15 and no pickup yet. And I had no phone numbers to call to even find out when the ride was coming. Shortly after 9:30 G arrived to drive us! I just kept thinking to myself, “Whenever is starts is the right time,” and “If I’m missed, maybe they’ll send someone to get me,” and “They can certainly do morning news without me, or even just skip it and start right in on sessions.”
• Turns out I wasn’t missed. Breakfast had been late and they weren’t quite ready for morning news yet when I arrived. All was well.
• The rest of the day went as per usual, morning news, two sessions, lunch, two more sessions, evening news.
