WHEW. I got through all my work for this week! This last job was very grueling subject matter and I actually got nightmares about it and so didn’t sleep well last night. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
I’m off till Mondayish and boy is the real work starting! It’s amazing how much stuff I have in this house that needs to get into my truck! There’s lot’s of cleaning to do, too, since I want to move all the furniture out of the way and get behind and under it. It’s going to be a very full afternoon, but I am set on leaving first thing tomorrow. I’m glad that I’ve started and that the laundry is all done.<\/p>\n
As for my dilemma, I ended yesterday with perhaps half a gallon of drinking water and spent too much time wondering how long I could stretch it. I’m going to need water on the road and I have several one-gallon containers. Why buy one-gallon containers of water in the States for 80 cents when I can get five gallons here for that price?! So I put out my bottle and 10 pesos this morning and got a fresh bottle that I’ll pour into my smaller containers and add those to the mountain of stuff going into the truck.<\/p>\n
I haven’t done a good job of keeping myself fed this week, so even though I’m going to Miguel’s tonight, I decided to get a hamburger and fries for lunch, too, to give me the strength to get through all the work I have to do on the house. I had a nice chat with the owner of the restaurant, Patty (Patricia), and she got a good part of my life story out of me somehow! I really need to learn how to say transcription in Spanish, but “I work for the police, government, and schools on my computer,” *pantomime typing*, “interviews” works very well. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I’m refusing to get maudlin about leaving Isla tomorrow. For one thing, I have no doubt I’ll be back. For another, I’m a nomad and the open road is calling my name very loudly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
