Functional button and good health

As the title implies, the donate button (located in the post below) is now functional. I don't know what was wrong with it, but Kevin figured it out, and now it works.

For the second part of the title, yes, my health seems to have returned. I did my three days of anti-malarials and anti-biotics and now I'm back to normal. With this health in hand, I will return to Douentza Wednesday morning.

Sunday night, I finished the first version of my dictionary. It felt incredibly good. I'm sure there will be mistakes to correct and information to update, but it is a functional dictionary where there wasn't one before!

I went to visit the linguists at the Institut des Langues today and told them about the dictionary. They were thrilled and couldn't wait to get their hands on it. Just that made the work worth it.

Tomorrow I have a few last errands to run, and then I'll hit the road. Then no more Bamako for me until I go home!

Sooo excited for you to have finished your dictionary! (Apparently so much so that I can't even form complete sentences.) I'm also really glad that your health has returned. I'm thinking of you!
