Wednesday, May 31, 2006 I am so ridiculously happy right now it's incredible. Today was awesome. Why you ask? Well, for many reasons. Number one... it's pay day! I can finally can buy those couch cushions that I've been lusting after. Sweet. Second, because it was pay day, by the time the day is over I'll have eaten very well. For lunch I ate at one of my favorite restaurants: Acuna Matata ("Hakuna Matata"). They have the best pork in the entire world there. Oh, and I ate a lot. 400 CFA worth to be exact (yeah, $0.80) and I am stuffed. Oh it was awesome. Having money today also let me buy some tools; a set of hex keys and screwdrivers. For ill purpose? To fix my poor iBook's screen. Was I successful? Well, let's just say that I'm currently sitting on the couch in the Parakou workstation typing this.

Oh. Freakin'. Yeah.

To top it all off we're making sandwiches tonight. How could it get any better?

Oh, AND another awesome thing that happened was that when I went to the bank I got a pretty large quantity of coins. While in the States that would be annoying at best, here it's down right nice. Petit monnaie is impossible to keep a hold of, so the fact that the bank just gave it to me rocks!

So yeah. Awesome.
