feeling good feeling great

ok, so today has been the first day in eight or nine days that i awoke without feeling absolutely dreading the day ahead due to illness. after raining steadily for a few days, the towns weather has rounded off and is fairly pretty today. the actual city of nosara is flooded and is most likely drying itself out this morning a bit and getting ready to get back to business. interesting how so many people live here in million dollar homes and a huge amount of people live here in a space that floods every time it rains heavily. seems like with a bit of community power something could be done to help the people that serve, clean for, and work for all the wealth in the area. weird. anyways, i have been eating oats, brown rice and lightly cooked veggies for a few days so the thought of a club sandwich with a milkshake for dessert sounds like bars of gold in my bank right now. i have lost some lbs. which is awesome. i miss my mommy. we are about to head into the high season which brings tons of tourists and property owners that visit two or three times a year. looking forward to seeing familiar faces and having social stuff go on again. it is somewhat like a very tranquil exile so far this season. not completely unpleasurable though. i have been watching a bunch of older programs and movies recently...murder by death, a fave from my childhood, wonder woman, incredible hulk, buck rogers and battlestar gallatica, the old one. fun stuff and interesting seeing what we thought was good special effects and acceptable story lines and gimmicks. i saw a wonder woman with leif garrett in it that was particularlly loose on the plot. fun though.
