ironing dishtowels

I have never been so thrilled than having my own personal assistant this week! M has been here 4 hours a day doing all the things I definitely don't have time to do. It took her all 4 hours on Monday to do the laundry (by hand). When she left at 2, we had run out of water. The town only gets water 2 hours a day, so we have a tank to store it the other 22. Unfortunately we used too much and couldn't wash the dishes or use our own bathroom for the rest of the day. Oops.

Continuing with the laundry story, it took M most of today to iron the laundry, something I would never have dreamed of doing but that Peruvians consider part of being a presentable normal person. They would never wear an unironed T-shirt, so we're trying our best to suck it up and wear all of ours ironed, too. Today I caught her ironing my dishtowels. Wow.

Anyway, besides 8 hours of laundry, M has been running around the house finding anything and everything she can clean and fix, preparing food for me to then cook with (I feel like I live on a cooking show), washing all the dishes, and doing anything else she can think of. I am so impressed by her work ethic, her attitude, and her smile. What a blessing she has been to me this week. I can hardly describe what a burden has been lifted and how happy I am to be doing the work I came here to do (now that I have the time!).

Tomorrow I hope to ask her if she can start full time next week (deep sigh of joy and relief).
