Today I started my vacation. It will be quiet. Connecting with family in south western ontario. I didn't wake up until 715. I did things around the house but in a leisurely manner. I finally got into the shower at 930. Took a while for the hot water to come to the second floor and I didn't get in until it did. I thought about how much water had gone down the drain. Two or three buckets full? Two or three trips to a water source 16 km away for some woman or woman child in Masasi. I thought about how much a woman there would have accomplished already in the day to fend for her family. She knows no vacation. I recall saying to Joyce from the Mother's Union that I had put some of the wood carvings from our last trip as decorations in my bathroom. She looked at me strangely and said "you decorated your bathroom". I think about the disconnect. One of their homes is the size of my bathroom. And the bathroom for them is outside.
