Okay, the monsoon has finally convinced me of its might. The night before last, we got over 17 inches of rain over the course of about seven hours. The drainage system was overwhelmed pretty completely, and there was widespread flooding in Dhaka. Sweet. I was lucky, only getting a puddle of water in my dining room, but many people had it much, much worse--including our local staff, many of whom were on the road for three hours or more before realizing there was no way to get through to work.
The other fun thing that happened this week was that I got pink eye. Crusty eyes=yummy. I had actually never had it before, and I thought it would be more uncomfortable than it was. Now that I can't wear my contacts, I am deeply regretting not getting glasses in my new prescription as I have fun squinting through my old pair.
Add that to James being away (taking his bar exam right now!) and it adds up to not a super fun week. Though Tony did graciously invite me to a baul concert (my first, believe it or not) at his apartment, which was a highlight. And, before it started raining like crazy, I saw a huge snail in the driveway and got insanely excited about it. It's the little things. How did the snail find the giant seashell thing it was living in? Do they make their own, or do they have to stumble across a seashell?
