#vacate2018

Today we got a mass grave and orders to quit catching bad guys and go home. Which obvs they're not gonna do. Maybe tomorrow I'll have an idea for how to save them because at the moment it looks a little hopeless. As it should.

Today I mostly watched Harry Potter with a student instead of writing, but I still had enough energy before bed to pound out a couple thousand words of Alex panicking. My babies don't like admitting when they need help, but hurt/comfort is my soul, so I just keep damaging them until they fall apart. Today we hit that point, so it was a great day.

Today I got to write the phrase 'time vortex purgatory' so it was an okay day. Current word count: 55,135. Here's another photo of me writing in Uganda where I had less stress but also less puppy cuddles. #whenwillibedone #onlyhalfwaytotheepilogue #ishouldvesettledfortheroughdraft #revisingisterrible #writerlife #revisingdays #amwriting #campnano #vacate2018 #vacatersgonnavacate #peacecorpsRwanda

Vacation phase thirty: the sassiest impala. #lookatthisdude #someonemakethisameme #attitude #vacate2018 #vacatersgonnavacate #peacecorpsRwanda

Vacation phase nine: these crested cranes being fabulous. They are the national bird of Uganda and look extremely regal when standing. They also make the most ridiculous sound. Go look it up. You're welcome. #sofabulous #basicallyreadyforthecatwalk #sosassy #birdlakebirds #vacate2018 #vacatersgonnavacate #peacecorpsRwanda

Vacation phase twenty-eight: this zebra-coloured bird who matches one that liked to hop around under our tables after meals. Bonus points to anyone who knows what it is. #honestlythowhatishe #tinyzebrabird #birdlakebirds #vacate2018 #vacatersgonnavacate #peacecorpsRwanda

Vacation phase twenty-six: more photos of the same zebras. #bcwhywouldyounotwantmore #gloriousstripyponies #beautiful #ineedseven #vacate2018 #vacatersgonnavacate #peacecorpsRwanda

Vacation phase twenty-four: a butt-shot of this zebra who refused to face the camera head on. #dothesestripesmakemybuttlookbig #thisisarealzebra #guysisawazebra #thiszebrajustifiedtheWorstCanoeExpweienceEver #vacate2018 #vacatersgonnavacate #peacecorpsRwanda
