About how I feel right now, but with more bland lighting.

Respite – almost. I still need to finish two articles, file some photos, pack, figure out which way Umeme is trying to take advantage of me, do another round of interviews tomorrow morning in Katwe, try and make some kind of order of the disorder that is my apartment, and figure out how to get from where I am to where I’ll be.

But, as of Wednesday afternoon, I will be on leave. Sort of – still will have to finish up some writing and do some other reporting.

Wait… that doesn’t sound like leave! you might say. But I will take a break, at least for a bit. I will visit somewhere I’ve never been before and go somewhere else familiar.

And hopefully, I will come back to Uganda, without feeling so tired. Because right now, the next boda boda who tries to overcharge me by even UGX 500 is at risk for losing a limb.

So, for the sake of Uganda, and for my own, I will be out for a bit. Still around, but a little less urgently.

Check back for occasional posts. Regular posting will resume at the beginning of August.
