Seperation Anxiety

After spending the last 4 almost 5 weeks together, the team’s adventures are winding down as 2 of the 4 have left for the states.

And yes, after spending every waking minute with the same 4 people, it is a little wierd when two of them aren’t there when you wake up or when you to go bed or when you eat a meal or when you come back from the bathroom. …there may or may not be a term for this – some call it seperation anxiety.

Bryan is currently in Detroit visiting his brothers and his parents and leaves Tuesday to come back to the bay.  He’s currently sick with the black box bug (that’s not actually anything, but we don’t really know what he has).. Anyways, he’s recovering from a bug of some sort.

Lesley is the first of the four of us who made it back home to the bay – getting in August 14th.  Her first priorities (other than saying hi to Aurora and Jamie) were to go to CPK and Coldstone.   She’s currently possibly sipping a banana milkshake (breyer’s based ice cream) and lounging outside in her beautiful backyard in the wonderful california sun… maybe she’s not doing this… I wouldn’t know.. Anyways, we have plans to get haircuts, drink banana milk shakes, and go through a million and one receipts when I return.

Greg and I have since returned to Karatu.  I got a wonderful stomach bug and have been on heavy antibiotics to quell it – which has been successful.  Greg is still the same machine that he is and has not gotten sick.

He and I will be leaving for a homestay in Magesho in a couple days for a final round of needfinding and prototyping – this time with lighting fixtures.

I return to the states on August 24th after a wonderful 27 hour transit.  And Greg changed his flight to stay until October 6th.

Well that’s the story up to now…  sorry I haven’t posted in a while.
