This is the story of the eels who loved me.

Well it's not really a story about eels at all, but I'm sure that the eels in the creek behind our house do love me very much.

This is the story, however, of the last month of our lives sans water and other things. You might be tired of hearing by now how we haven't had running water for the last month. Actually I'm tired of it too.

In other news:
Item 1:
I got a wicked case of ring worm. I'm not sure where I got it. All I know is that I thought that I had the worst peeling sunburn in history. So now I have to take a prescription to get rid of a fungal infection that is feeding off my dead skin cells. It's gross. Also, the pills I have to take may damage my liver. So that's awesome.

Item 2:
For the last few days there have been 40 knot wind gusts all over Pohnpei. I actually have no idea what 40 knots is, but I do know that I thought that our roof was going to get ripped off a couple of times last night. It also means that there have been huge ocean swells on one of the passes on the reef. They were predicting 20-30 foot waves and surfers were flying from all over to kill themselves. Part of the northern reef will probably be damaged in the process of being tormented by the ocean. I guess that's life.

Item 3:
We've made it 8 months on this little island. Crazy.

That's all.
