Accounting in Nepal!

There was a banda (transportation strike) again today, they say it will continue until the prime minister steps down. Hmmm… That meant we had to walk to and from work and had to cancel our plans for this evening because we were not energetic enough to walk to the next town. People are a bit concerned about how long this one will last because it makes it difficult to get anywhere including the airport for those who are leaving.

I was speaking with the woman who runs the school a few days ago. She found out that I am an accountant so today after working with the kids all morning I was asked to help her with her bookkeeping. I always knew it was a profession that would allow me to get a job anywhere, I just never figured I would be doing books in Nepal! 

I am too tired to write too long so point form instead tonight.

Weird unimportant info:

•          the blanket on my bed is a superman blanket!?*
•         I washed my clothes today. Only option – by hand on the roof, hang to dry. Pray it doesn’t rain before they dry.
•         It is monsoon season in Nepal. It does rain every day however most days not until after we have gone to bed. Last night I’m not sure it stopped all night but the sun was shining all day today. It is overcast again now (dinner time) so it will probably rain again tonight.

     Trying to establish better habits:

•         Hailey and I have been listening to Deepak Chopra meditations every morning.
•          I started doing sit ups in the morning
•     I forgot to pack a yoga mat but so far I have been too tired to go to yoga in the park with the locals. It starts at 5AM!
