today is day three of my detox. eating veggies, drinking water, getting the occasional banana and oats when i feel it's too much. but, overall, it's going much better than the first round of detox last year. that was a crazy one though! maple syrup, pepper, lime and tea. yea, i lasted one day for that one.
yesterday i recieved some GREAT news! i got FUNDING for my cocinas mejoradas project! yay! awesome! so, now i don't only have a list of families to participate and giving the preliminary presentations, but i can actually buy materials and go through with the project. it's now time to make sure the municipality will help with their part, and the hospital. cross your fingers!
also! the primary schools have SUCCESSFULLY had contact between the lady picking up recycling and what they have saved. AMAZING! i tried 3 times last year and it never worked, so this year i got another woman and its' going great. they schools raised about S/.45 each (mas o menos $15). we're going to keep it up this entire year, and the plan is that at the end they are going ot have a celebration with the money that is raised, or buy some balls for sports.
what else...well, last week i was running and tripped and scratched up my leg. i felt like a 10 year old, but i guess that still happens. my legs are getting better and my hands, but they were really banged up. i had to use two huge bandaids to cove up one, and another big one for the other. for my hands, i had to cover tehm up and not to laundry for a week or they would get irriated. now i have looots of laundry backed up...i should look into paying someone to wash for me.
oh, and it's getting chilly here in palpa. winter time has come. (YES!) so, it gets to profound lows in temperatures, and at times you can actually see your breat! omg! hah. yesterday there was a rainbow in palpa because it rained - both things that hardly ever happen. and the rainbow part has never ever happened...the entire town was talking about it and what it means.
today i'm off to plan out some recycling project for the secondary schools and working out details for teh cocinas project. tonight i have to give a presentation to one of the 4 villages participating.
cheeeeerio!
