Zihua Wed 7.12.6




mi casa my lunch of chicken fajitas. Yesterday was a tough day. The actual day was uneventful, I “worked on the computer” (moved photos and did a back up) which took a couple of hours. Dropped off laundry and visited the internet cafĂ©. This took till lunch. Everything went on hold after that, as I became violently ill with a case of “the tourista.” I got Montezuma’s revenge at lunch. The battle ended at 2am. Somewhere around 9:30pm it began to rain. (i mean RAIN ) the wind howling and screaming through the vents. Water coming in through the windows and under doors. Lightening and pounding and howling. It was fun to imagine what a real storm might be like. This was just a quick squal. The wild part was the Ants came in. huge ants “supersized” monsters. So here I am watching TV cranked way up to be heard over the storm, killing ants as fast as I can, swatting them with a rolled up paper. Finally about 10:30pm I decided the storm had let up enough to sleep through. I had killed all the ants. Hoped I could sleep through the night without being “ill.” (I had been medicating since 4:30pm with meds I got in Divisadero, Mexico back in December) When I went in to bed I got the shock of finding a Cintapede on the curtain right by my head. It was a couple of hours before I was sleepy again. (i used a catch and release program throwing him out in the storm.)

Sunny and warm today.

Picking up my clean clothes from the laundry and going to Playa La Ropa.
