It's quite the hubbub around here today as we try to finish up all the projects we've started by the end of today. Today we are:
- sanding and varnishing desk pieces for the school;
- building, staining, and varnishing shelves for the library;
- putting books on shelves if some of them manage to dry;
- replacing screens in the windows of the house where we're staying;
- cleaning stain off of the wall that looks like a crime scene after some shelf-staining gone awry on Wednesday; and
- moving desk frames into storage; and,
- generally cleaning up after ourselves (which is more involved than you might think).
In the meantime, another group has arrived from Canada, so we're trying to work around them, the school is having a Dominican Independence parade, and the Fiesta of Misunderstanding continues as the ladder has left the premises, making it somewhat difficult to replace screens on the upper floor. Oh well. We've already accomplished a ton this morning, so I think we have a pretty good shot of finishing all of our goals for the week by the end of today. Hoorah! I'm so impressed by the work our youth have put in this week, and how well they've coped with all the uncertainty and constant change. Tomorrow: market and beach day!
