work weeks

Here in Uganda, working on Saturday is fairly standard. Like the weekend is only one day long. Kids go to school on Saturdays, so why not have adults work. So yesterday I was working. And today I had to finish up the two things I was working on yesterday, plus have my weekly call with my boss. So at the end of all that, I'm still tired, and about to start another long work week. And by long I mean approximately 7 days long. I'm not the kind of tired that needs a good night's sleep. I'm about to hit the hay, before 10, so I think I'll get one. I need a day of relaxation, where I completely put the farm behind me.

I have a day like that in mind. When my friend Dave was here visiting we went to this posh hotel, got guest passes to the spa and pool and just lounged it up all day. I'm going to do that in a couple of weeks. When we square this farm away, or have our first profitable month, or something like that, I'm going to take a whole day, turn off my phone, and just chill out. Now I know why people hate their blackberry's. But I think mine is worse. These pigs are 50 ft from me. I can't get away.

That sounds a little depressing. I'm looking to make this a challenge, that this farm will be running by the time I leave. And then anything else I get finished will be icing on the cake. I have about 11 more weeks. So here's to all 11 of those work weeks.
