Gearing Up for the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Alas, the time has come for numerous fantasy football drafts at completely asinine hours of the night. If drafting a team at 4am on a workday is not dedication, I truly do not know what is. Yes, we are drafting at 4am on Friday morning. I suspect 3:15am will consist of a workout, coffee, eggs, and Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" on repeat. If I'm still foggy, I may need a few laps around the pool in the compound.

Aside from all our drafts, and the obligatory preparation, this week has been fairly tame. Sunday was lazy around the house with some coffee on the patio, some preseason football and a movie. Monday was equally as quiet. Tuesday night we went out for Indian food with the girl who messaged me on Internations (named Kavita, by the way, since I don't think I've actually said that). There's also a new expat in Dan's office from Denmark. Her name is Janni, pronounced Yanni, and she's here for seven months on an exchange program. Dan's old deskmate, Christy, is now in Copenhagen as the other half of the exchange.

Janni got here a few weeks ago with a friend from Denmark and they explored around Ghana a bit before she started work. Her friend is still here until this coming Sunday when she has to head back to Copenhagen. The pair of them joined us for dinner at the Indian restaurant. They are very nice and we had a good time comparing "new in Ghana" stories. They were staying in a hotel near the office until Janni moved into an apartment, which actually had just occurred the day we went out for dinner. She is now living in Maxwell Court, which is where Dan and I were for our first 3 weeks or so before picking out an apartment. I'm not certain but I think since she's only here a short time, she may just stay there throughout her assignment.

It's been a busy couple of weeks of meeting new friends. We are blessed to have come across some good people who are interested in getting together. The rest of the week is draft-filled, ending in a birthday party for Hannah on Friday evening.
