Balance

"There is no such thing as a work-life balance. Everything worth fighting for unbalances your life." —Alain de Botton

Campo Warrior

Imagine this. Darkness. Rustling in my penca roof. Headlamp. Broom in one hand. Machete in the other.

Oh yea. I wish I had a camera. That is my campo warrior gear, fighting off tarantulas!

The first time I was unsuccessful. I was not properly prepared. The monster just hid in between the palm leaving me for a sleepless night. Second time is a charm. I woke up to a rustling bag. I figured a frog had gotten in my house again. Wrong! After a few deep breaths and a few machete swings. My tarantula intruder was no more.

Now for the creature in my latrine….

Going Postal

I am over the post office. The last 4 times I have been in there I have been in minor arguments. I discovered that not all provinces pay to store their packages, but here in Herrera we do. And maybe if they didn’t have stupid hours and tell me they work on Saturdays and then don’t work Saturdays, I could pick it up. Remember I live far from the regional capital people? Oh yea, and I got something stolen out of a package. So yea, I’m done with them.
