Must be Monday

Yo:

No tengo hambre ... ni tengo hombre tampoco ...

Well, since I set you-all straight about that ...

So ... there's no man in my life and I'm not hungry either (a loose translation that doesn't quite say the same thing). Of course I don't mean to say that I'm not hungry to have a man in my life ...

But I do have friends. Wrote a short song in Spanish. Wasn't sure of the grammar. So Fabian and his friends helped me this evening. They liked it, tweaked it ... soon it'll be polished enough to be a gift for someone.

I also ran into Mari this morning so I'm staying in town, meeting her at 5:30 tomorrow evening and going to the writers' dinner. Now ... what to bring?

30 minutes in line for the ATM (only 3 of 4 machines were working). Everyone got payed yesterday so everyone was at the bank today. A madhouse. Fortunately I had my umbrella (sombria) for the hot sun.

I took out double the money ...LOL.

I'm writing everyday. So far nothing today (except blog, postcard and journal). There's a big game at 8 ... maybe then?

I guess it's okay to have accomplished little. The song is a big thing for me however.

For breakfast: coffee and toast with strawberry jam and butter. Free. For lunch: white rice, black beans, fish, meat and potato, picadillo de palmito de pejibaye (palm heart chopped up), green salad (lettuce and cabbage) with tomato. $4.40 ... which isn't bad. For dinner: filled sweet pepper and coffee. $1.80 For snack: a large smoothie of papaya, banana and orange. $2.40.

I'm such a big spender.
