Further progress!

From pool 1

So, despite la gripa, I persevered, with the help of Carmen and Jose. This is how the rooftop looked this morning when Scott looked at ts on his way out...and home to Dallas!
I'll miss the guy, as will Lora, who was increasing acting like cat around him. He, being a cat lover, was amazed how much she acts like a cat at times - the way she moves her body, stretches, touches with her paw.
Today, Carmen and I will make some further organizational improvements in the suites and I will work on a book contribution. It's always something. But hey, I'll be able to take a dip and do some PT.
By the way, garlic may be more of a magical potion that I thought, and I have a lot of faith in it anyway. For he first time in weeks, I am walking without a cane! When Lora ran off this morning during a laundry run, I searched for her on foot before Jose came by and said, per chance, that he has spotted Lora near the mercado and the dog catcher was around. We went and picked her up. So, she's in for the day, castigado!

Priorities!

I was going to screw around today, but nature calls! Tropical Depression Gustavo will probably not cause much harm, but they train is about to take off, it looks like it...so...
Jose is coming over today. I washed the detergent tanks and will have him fill them with gasoline and maybe fire up the generator with the gas in it now. There are are many other manly things for a 21 year old guy with a good back to do and I have the immigraton lawyer appointment tomorrow.
Which places me at my scanner/copier and across the street at Federico's for more quick copying of additional stuff that Gabriel brought over last night and will bring today.
Then there's the taking of laundry in and the pool needs a mini shock since the filter has been off for two days. And the refri needs cleaned and the food recollected from yesterday's unplanned disbursal to the apartments in the wake of my fridge refusing to work until the frost free guts thawed out.
Ahhhh...the slowness of slow season...the big lie!
And of course, as promised again, we are waiting on Delfino to come by for Lora's ear treatment and some huesitos...Omega-3 enriched rawhide bones. Last time, he, he was with Kai, Dr. Greta's daughter, who wants to be a vet.
I am going to make a list instead of read tonight. It will be Lora's known vocabulary, which for a dog is pretty extensive and multi lingual. Last night, for example, as I lay reading before lights out, she wanted something. I asked, OUT? No reaction and usually she always wants out. WATER? And the tail wagged in anticipation. Yep, the water bowl, too big to throw around now, was dry.
Dumb animal? Dumb blonde? You can be the judge.
