another weekend in Antigua

overcast 21 °C

Weekend what did I do actually? I got escorted home and was in bed around 2.30am than woke up thanks to my alarm. I had lunch with the family and than was off to work in Funky Monkey. It was pretty slow and time dragged by. Elmer came by between his shifts to say hello. On his way back to work he surprised me with some chocolates - so sweet of him! After work I didn't have any real plans made out. I had met Tim who was working on his laptop and he knows the whole crew from here as well. He told me that if I didn't know what to do to give him a call and than we could have a drink. I did that and we had a drink in Reilly's. By the end of the night he paid me plenty of compliments and wanted to ask me out for a date. Since he was leaving Sunday 11am that made no sense whatsoever! We agreed though to meet for breakfast. He escorted me back to Monoloco and Elmer was almost done with his shift. The nice thing is that they know my name by now and greet me always so the security guy lets me in o,)) We ended up in the park again for an hour chat and by the time he had escorted me home it was 2.30am again. My stomach is still weird and upset so in the morning I wasn't feeling too great I was tempted to call Tim up and say no thanks for the invite. I managed to crawl out of bed at 8am to meet him at 9am. Breakfast was fun and afterwards he had to pack his stuff which was good fun for me to watch. Never had a clue what anthropologist pack but he sure had lots of papers and electronic equipment for his research. Before I waved him off he just had to try to kiss me - what is wrong with guys?!? Oh well, I guess I'll see him again in July when he returns with about ten students. Afterwards I went by Funky Monkey and had a nice chat with Marcella. We girls will go shopping together on Wednesday most likely! I was so tired that I decided to call it bedtime. In the end I bumped into Rudolfo and escort in Mc Donald's and we chatted some more. By the time I actually got home and went to bed it was more like 2.30pm. I was nicely sleeping when the phone was ringing and it was Morgan asking if I could cover his shift but I was like no I need my sleep. The next time that I woke up was around 7pm when Hanna called me about dinner. I took a shower and got ready to go out again. I was supposed to start my project Monday but since I was feeling so bad and was throwing up again I decided to start one day later. Elmer had changed his shifts around so that e would finish up around 9pm. Actually he was true to his word and was out of there by 9.15pm. Hanna came by Funky Monkey and we chatted for a while and she told me that the weekend trip to the volcano was good fun but that she was pretty beat and all her muscles were hurting. She went home and Elmer and I went out. He changed clothes at home real quick and than we went to Ricky’s Bar for drinks and he was starving so for inner as well. It was the fist time though that just the smell of food made me nauseous and he apologized 10.000 xs for eating. We slept in and went to The Black Cat for breakfast which was good fun. Afterwards he went off home and I went to Funky Monkey to check my mail. Lea was there and asked me if Morgan had called me since he wanted to swap shifts. I told her no and of course speaking of the devil he walks right in. I said okay I'll take over your shift! Elmer returned and was surfing the web as well for a while than he went off for work. I waited a bit because I had a date with Hanna in the park. I bumped there in Camilla who I hadn't seen in a while and she is really happy with Terry. So once Hanna had arrived we went looking for a Salsa school she had heard was good but no luck! We quickly picked up some drinks and food at the supermarket and than I had to leave them to get to work. Very quiet today and nothing out of the ordinary. It was raining again today but not very much today! The nice thing is that there are regulars who know you after a while and you just chat with everyone. I got another job offer today to work as a waitress in a restaurant. If Jose is true to his word we will meet later on for a drink and he can fill me in his idea of work, money etc. It was funny earlier since Elmer was upstairs working looking over the balcony and chatting with me being downstairs. It is really kind of funny that we work so close by. They are still looking for female bartenders but I think that I will skip that one. I actually have been told that people see me around and recognize me amd it seems they like me.
The only good part of being sick is it does wonders for one's weight! When I get off the shift today though I'll treat myself to some Quesadillas in Monoloco because I just love them.
