Wednesday 16 May

It is 1:21 am and I cannot sleep even though today was an extremely busy day with girls' club, teaching, and market day.

I wonder if the elderly in Africa have trouble sleeping like my grandmothers.

Is my insomnia due to drugs, the infamous Larime, the excitement of organizing activities for a girls' club, or the excitement of Damon's visit?

Hi Jennifer, hope you're well. When you said Larime, did you mean Lariam, the anti-malaria pill? If that's the case, you might treat your insomnia with a change in medication. Or you can just risk it, Africans do and most of them live through malaria once or twice in their life--as long as they are in good health. I'm told you build a resistance to it, it becomes no mose severe than a head cold. Still...there's also Quinine tablets, taken daily, which is a drag. You might sleep better?
