For those of you who know about the prayer request – THANK YOU SO MUCH.  For everybody else, read on.
Decy and I often talk about health and security issues – its just part of our lifestyle living overseas.  One health element we have talked about numerous times is the “3 day fever rule”, which is …. [...]

Thursday – 28 June – 430am …. the “approval copy” of the emergency plan goes to press in less than 6 hours … unless something very unforeseen happens when I arrive at work.  Assuming nothing bad happens today …. then one more reading … a meeting on Friday @ 1pm with the Lead Country Manager [...]

Yesterday’s Table Top Exercise for the emergency plan went ok.  Actually, it probably went better than ok – its just that perhaps I’m too tired and too sick to recognize that or celebrate it.  Today’s the last day for changes in the plan – deadline is 4pm.  Tomorrow morning we start printing the approval copies [...]

Argh, I feel like I’ve been hit by a Mac Truck.  Head cold.  Sore throat. Sinus infection.  And “Day 2″ after my 10.5 k run …. my whole body hurts.  Today is the “Worst Case Exercise” for our emergency plan … I have to be on my toes … then I have 2 days of [...]

Ok – this is it.  The last week on the Emergency Plan – or at least the “last week” to get this phase done.  Have lots to do, aside from my other work (and this is a busy week in the base case), I have “Table Top Exercise” to facilitate Tuesday (6 hours) that explores worst [...]

It looks like we are finally turning the corner on current health issues in the house.
First, Dona (Decy’s brother) was released from the hospital yesterday.  This guy is really a “fighter” and that is what it takes to beat out Dengue – rest, food, water.   Drs did their part with care, medicines, and IVs … but Dona layed [...]

Status on staff:  Three in the hospital (Nunung, Dona, Sumi).   Nunung and Dona are improving – all going well they should be released this weekend – then it will be a week or so before they are really up and about … about that time we leave on vacation.
Status on Decy:  On antibiotics, improving, trying [...]

I am so tired … my body is crying … I ache everywhere … surely it is not Wednesday ! It feels like a Friday, but without the elation that the weekend is fast approaching.  Argh !!
Decy’s brother Dona (our 2nd driver) has been confirmed to have Dengue Fever – he’s in the hospital.  Sumi [...]

What a frustrating day Monday was.  At work it sucked:
1) The “2nd project” that I am trying to get out of the ditch went back into the ditch – the guy that was supposed to fly here from Aceh and be here up to 2 weeks until the work was done stayed one day (Friday, [...]

Ah the joys of a weekend that did not go according to plan … after my Sunday AM blog, I putzed around the house a bit and went outside to read some papers from work.  Decided to get on the treadmill – I really need to figure out why the stereo in the exercise room [...]
