How many days until Claire becomes bald?

So not too much is new; just thought I would give a quick update.

My malaria medicine (doxycycline)made me have an allergic reaction to the sun and my skin was red, puffy, and itching so badly I couldn't sleep. SO- I had to switch back to Lariam and already my crazy dreams have started back up. Last night I thought there were bugs crawling all over me again...excellent. This is also the same malaria medicine that makes my hair fall out...so you can all start giving your estimated amount of days until I am completely bald. haha

The good news is that when my friend Ali comes to see me in 20 days (not that I am counting or anything) she is going to bring me a third kind of malaria medicine so I can try that out. We will see which one has the least amount of side effects.

I know that it is getting to be the hottest time of the year here in Ghana because the water has been switched off for 2 days straight now...I really need to do wash. I might have to use pure water to wash a couple things to get me by.

I have been saving a lot of money on taxis at night because I found out one of the guys from Cantonments lives right by me so now he just walks me home at night and I am #1 safer and #2 saving money. It works out perfectly.

Yesterday I went and watched the U12s, U14s, and U17s play matches and it was heavenly. Good football, sunshine, fanice, good friends, and good music. Some of the U12s were trying to get me to dance by showing off their dance skills.

Today, I am going to see a good friend Sarfo play in a match. He just got signed to a Premier League football club in Ghana (thats really good) and so I am going to watch him play at the National Stadium today.

Hope you are all not freezing!!
