I Moved [Live Update]

I've moved up into my house.  It's been a stretch leading up.  I wouldn't say stressful or frustrating, but a little drawn out.

I'm thrilled to be up there.  It's just as perfect and peaceful as always and on my first night I realized, in addition to everything else, it's firefly season as well.

There is a house, or rather, a deluxe lean-to.

The house has:
  • One room
  • Adjoining outside kitchen
  • No windows yet
  • A 200-lb door
  • no electricity
  • a full-size bed with a semi-firm mattress
The door has:
  • No lock yet
Two puppies live at the house.  Two puppies, brother and sister, did live at the house, but the male has been missing for 21 hours.  I do hope he comes back.  I doubt strongly he left on his own accord, unless to Francisco's house, where he is not.  I hope he hasn't been mistreated by any adolescents.  The puppies are:
  • Sanson: male, dominant, coffee-colored.  current intelligence: 7/10
  • Negra: female, black.  current intelligence: 4/10  current kindness & cuteness: 8/10
 There is a bathroom.  The bathroom is a very pleasant 30-second walk from the house.  The bathroom has:
  • a lovely roof of 'tejas romanos'
  • a poo hole
  • a pee hole
  • a spectacular view
  • a sink, to follow
Right now, I'm eating from a trail mix I created this morning in Panajachel which includes:
  • 1.5 libras raisins (pasas)
  • 1 libra salted (manillas)
  • 5 oz. pepitas (don't know the English)
  • 4 oz. cashews (cashew)
  • 4 oz. almonds (almendras?)
  • 1 oz. sesame seeds (?)
  • 4 oz. coconut (coco)
  • 0 oz. macadamia (macadamia).  no macadamias today.
I hope to return to some writing soon, but I haven't had the freedom to write in the morning as I've been directing my construction.  My presence is required on site most times for rapid decision making.

We Don't Serve Food Here

A hernia and a hemorrhoid walk into a bar.  Bartender says 'Oh great, just what i need.'
