Accident-prone...

On my way to teach piano this morning in Garki, I saw three car accidents at major intersections.  I don't know if it's just a wonky Saturday... or maybe Nigerians started early on St. Patrick's Day celebrations?  I saw another one today coming home from the gym... it was like a 5 car wreck, and of course, a million people were milling around and causing a ruckus. 

Ehh... not much to report on here.  It was a quiet week at work, mainly because everyone is back in Atlanta for the GAP conference, and also because I didn't roll into work until Thursday, having spent the first three days at home trying to sleep off whatever weirdo bug that I had.  Wasn't malaria, wasn't the stomach flu... maybe mild gastroenteritis?  I dunno.  Mainly just felt off somehow.  Another upcoming week of nothingness as GAP conference continues... and then I'm off to Ethiopia and Uganda for a week of conferencing and networking.  Not sure how I feel about it... at least I'll get to leave Abuja, but honestly, I'm not really an Africa person.  :T 

I think I'm just looking forward to coming back to the States, settling down somewhere in the Midwest and staying put for more than one year... I'm tired of moving every year, it's such a big hassle and it never gets any easier.  Bah.  Here's to finding a nice little apartment for myself and making it a home for four years, not just a temporary living situation. 

Michael Buble's "Home" is playing... well, the Glee version.  It makes me homesick... obvi.  Can I start counting down yet?
