i think yesterday was the hottest day i've ever experienced in my life. it was zambia's independence day on sunday, so we had a holiday yesterday. and i literally just sat on the couch sweating the entire day cause i couldn't motivate myself to do anything active. anywhere that was touching the couch was completely soaked through. so miserable.
we attempted to go on an ice run to make slushies, but failed horribly. we went to no joke 6 different grocery stores and gas stations looking for ice and everywhere was out. it was very sad cause i had my heart set on some slushies. it would have made the hotness a bit more bearable.
today isn't much better. i just looked over and tommy, one of the guys i work with, is standing in front of one of the fans in the office blowing the air up his shirt to cool off hah. our new country director is making it a priority to get aircon in the office, which would be amazing! because everyone is basically worthless in the afternoons cause it gets too hot to think. that combined with nshima for lunch (which i just had), is a deadly combination. i actually just walked past one of the rooms and another intern is passed out in their chair haha.
hopefully the rains will start coming soon and cool things off a bit.....or make it more muggy?! we shall see. it looks and smells like rain could potentially happen today. it would be the first rain in months. if not today, most likely sometime this week.
