I
was exhausted after a stressful couple of days and a short night’s sleep last
night so I slept very well and for a long time.
I woke up at 6:00 but went back to sleep until 7:30.
Getu
came over to give me my Ethiopian driver’s license and talk about the car repairs. It is going to cost about 17,000 ETB ($1300)
to get the car fixed. I am struggling to
know what I should do with this situation.
He did not have insurance on the car so either he pays to fix it or I
pay. Joe talked to Duche about it and he
said that it was their responsibility because they should have had insurance on
it. Joe asked him to look into it further. I was the one who wrecked the car so I want
to take responsibility but if he was responsible to have insurance on it then I
think that he should shoulder some of the costs. I have been praying for guidance and
direction to know how to approach the situation and to know what to do.
I
spent the day doing office type work, filling out forms answering emails,
writing reports, etc. It has been good
to get caught up on that work. I went
over my finances and made sure that I had everything accounted for and
balanced.
For
lunch today I made a zucchini tortilla for Joe and me. It was pretty good. This evening I cooked up some rice with some
spam. The rice was getting old so there
was a slight off flavor but it was still edible. I have found that when I am in
Ethiopia my tolerance for flavors has increased.
