We’re going to be taking a family vacation to Australia next year, so I was poking around the ol’ world-wide web yesterday, checking out a few AirBnB options in the town we’ll be travelling to. This was a first for me. Being extremely behind the times, AirBnB is one...

[So, here’s the deal: I wrote this post a couple of weeks ago, but, due to the pitiful protestations of the last ragged vestiges of my feeble pride, I never published it. Since then, however, my pride seems to have given up any hope of reclaiming its former glory*,...

I just had my first hot shower in three months. A little while later, I flushed the toilet, without having to dump water into the bowl with a bucket. I hadn’t done that for one month. Then I made a meal for my kids using bread that we didn’t have to bake ourselves and...

I was having one of those days today. You know…THOSE days. The kind of day that feels like a Friday, even though it’s only Tuesday. The kind of day where you wake up feeling more tired than when you went to bed. The kind of day where you choose instant coffee instead...

I have been able to drop about 15 pounds since arriving back in our village a month and a half ago. Having spent a fair bit of time on the “husky” side of the scale lately, it’s been nice to finally see a bit of movement in this other, less blubbery, direction. I...

Not everyone knows this about me, but I have insomnia. It first started right about the time we arrived in PNG and began our language study in 2015, and it has been going strong ever since. Now, I know that correlation does not equal causation, but I am a Millennial,...
