Sometimes its the little things that make the biggest difference. This blog is dedicated to the little things- good and bad.
The Good:
It weighed no more than 30 pounds. It terms of boxes, that's relatively small. Inside was a collection of small things. Nothing major, just a few things that our home church in Ohio thought we might enjoy. Things like Jolly Ranchers, Combos, and Swedish Fish. Things you can easily live without, but little things that can make your day a bit brighter Things we never thought about until they weren't easily available.
Thank you Faith Worship Center!
Thank you Dave and Ann!
It was like Christmas all over again!
The Bad:
Its January and the expected high tomorrow is 72 degrees. No complaints here. The weather has been amazing- bright and sunny Sorry, Ohio friends, I must tell the truth.
But wait, this is suppose to be about bad little things. Yes, its coming. I know, its hard to believe, but there is something little and bad about 70 degrees in January. Can you think of it?
Mosquitoes!
Yep, you read that right mosquitoes. Being from Ohio, I never gave those little buggers a thought once the cold weather came. They just kinda disappeared. Out of sight. Out of mind.
Yeah, they are driving me out of my mind. Taiwan winters are mild enough for even the mosquitoes to hang around. Lucky us. They are the worst at night. Ever have one buzz around your face while trying to sleep? Night after night? Then you understand. They are so little, but big time annoying!
One morning, Jacob counted 10 hanging out in the elevator, just waiting for an unexpected victim. I think their command center is in the basement parking garage. A neighbor just recently shared that their entire family sleep under mosquito netting. But we found another solution.
It looks like a tennis racket, but it isn't. Its a bug zapper. You turn it on, swipe it, and ZAP the mosquitoes are gone. (insert evil chuckle) Does it work? I don't know. I'll have to get back to you on that one!
