starting work in Cafe Flor this week

Monday was another free day for me that was enjoyed greatly on the terrace and I burnt my nose a bit since it turned red at night. My legs also had pretty much sun since the time when we were in the kayak at Lago Atitlan my pants covered my legs partly and they were white higher up but not anymore. I finished my book. In the afternoon we had our first session of English class. I learnt about as much as he did since I had to get the grammar right and make up questions using a limited vocabulary etc. It is challenging for me as well and that means I have to use my brain which is great! We both had fun but gee we were tired afterwards. So we started off writing words down of things in the room. We both learn better when we have things written down in front of us and this way we can both study since it is espanol/ ingles. I had gone to the market during the day and had stocked up our fridge since it was getting close to empty. We both wanted to go to the gym after his work but instead he wanted to have a bite before. He cut himself rather stupidly in the finger and the bleeding wouldn’t stop. First time I had to get my first aid kit out ... so in the end he was chilling and watching TV while I went off to the gym for my workout. I came home and he was fast asleep so I took my shower and prepared dinner. It was really delicious spaghetti Bolognese and as dessert freshly made fruit salad. I can tell you the pineapple was so good as well as the papaya ... our vitamins are taken care of for that week since I bought so much fruit. I must say that we eat very healthy because my breakfast is oatmeal or cereal with milk. Fruit we have either as smoothies with water, milk or yoghurt or just plain fruit. Since we have the new pans I eat less greasy than I did at Ema's. I sometimes wonder if my figure has changed here with my diet since some clothes feel more loose than before but maybe just my imagination. I tried to weigh myself the other day at the gym. Too funny, it was one those weighing machines where you have to adjust the weight by yourself. So I think it is now around 129 pounds but hey they never fine tune their machines.

The rest of the week was pretty much work, sleep ... nothing special to tell you guys. Whenever I get a chance I work on the present for him since that seems to be difficult when he is around it has turned into a night project. This week is once again the heat wave week and you just don’t want to move if you don’t have to so daily siesta is a very good option if I got around to it. Other than that started my job in Cafe Flor this week and I still have a lot to learn for waitressing and where what is etc. It has been fun though so far and it pays more than in Funky. Jose seems sometimes a bit like a mother hen with his restaurant and his daughter can be a pain in the butt. She wants to help and than messes things up more than before ... Of course we get the blame and only when her Dad tells her to stay out of something than she will. Oh well, she won’t be around forever since she is just visiting Daddy during school break. So I am trying to hold down two jobs which is good fun since one gets me free internet access and the other one takes care of some of my meals o,)))
Next week rent is due which means that I have been living there already for a month and time is flying by. I really don’t want to leave but at least I can always come back o,)))
Oh yes, I got to meet the boss from Funky Cesaer since Abbie is still in the States. He was nice to me but I got told that he can be pretty weird and get violent as well. Lea got to know him on his bad day and he was such an ass that the people in Funky where about to jump to her defense but she told them to keep their mouths shut since that was the boss.
Right now it is Sunday and I am on break from work. Time to get the laundry done and it is almost time to go and pick it up. I just bumped into Tim here and he has asked me to come by Reilly’s for a drink but I really don’t know if I want to do that ... depends on how my mood will be since Morgan will be part of the crew. I don’t know it is just that right now I still don’t feel like socializing with him. I stay away from people that drink too much constantly and who are into dugs. Just means trouble down the way. It was Camilla’s last night here Friday and I saw her briefly and was very glad about that. She was very emotional and one day she will come back as well...
