Two years ago that was my wedding day now all I am is glad that I am divorced! Actually I should toast to that later on!

What can I say this week so far has been packed with lots of sleep. Tuesday night wasn´t good at all for my health. At first we started out in Monoloco with the German speakers and that was very entertaining. They moved over to Sin Ventura and for me it went downhill from there. I couldn´t stomach the air there and in the end I was literally sick. Elmer called and I told him to please hurry up because I was sick and just wanted to go home. He got us a tuc-tuc and cradled my head so that I wouldn´t get more sick and even once he was home, called me up to ask if I was fine and in bed...
My first shift in the Internet place Funky Monkey was Wednesday and it was fun and very different. Actually lots of tourists spoke to me in their best Spanish until I answered in English and they were relieved. The Spanish speakers liked me and tipped me well o,)) Much to learn but than again that is the challenge I guess. No progress yet on the apartment or flat-sharing front but hopefully soon ... I really want to live in Antigua since this constant back and forth isn´t only time consuming but also annoying for the wallet! I want to live my life and that just isn´t possible in the host family.
Thursday Hanna and I met for a girl’s chat and it was fun. In the end we were in Cafe 2000 watching movies when my mobile went off and I had a text from Elmer. I replied and though nothing of it since he was off visiting his parents. 5 minutes later someone was covering our eyes and it was him. He was already back in Antigua and around the corner checking his mail so we all watched a movie. I was about ready to go when I realized that the next movie was ¨Memories of a geisha¨ which I really wanted to see. I had to go home though for a shower and change of clothes. Elmer came along and afterwards he changed and we went out again. He grabbed a bite there again while I was happily sipping a coke and listening to my stomach. The movie ¨Snatch¨ was pretty stupid so we left and checked out La Sala. It wasn´t all that great there either because it was way too full. The air made me nauseous again and I stood by the door for a while. Jamie showed up suddenly out of nowhere. He was the boy-friend from Vilda and I hadn’t seen him around. We chatted once since he mumbles a lot the others usually just said yes or no to whatever he said since they couldn´t be bothered to understand him. He was like are you alone here ... The crowd was too big and I asked Elmer if we could just leave and go into the park and chat which we did and that was far more fun. He escorted me home again.
Friday I slept very long and than Sweety called me and after lunch (first one in a week that I had with the family) consisting of mashed potatoes I went back to bed since my stomach was being weird. I woke up because Elmer called me asking if I was in town and wanted to meet his son. Have to take a rain check on that one! I showered and around 5pm was in Antigua today. I send Elmer a text to tell him where I was and he showed up for a quick 30 minute chat before work. I have spent the last 3 hours surfing the web, writing mails, going through other things that a PC is needed for and next thing on my list is downloading pictures from my card to a CD ROM! Than quick stop in Monoloco and I think that I will call it an early night and go home. Tomorrow I will work again and who knows what I’ll do than...
