Woke up at 0300 and couldn’t get back to sleep. So I busied myself around the house getting unpacked and (somewhat) organized.
Enjoyed the first of what I hope will be many, many morning views like this one…
I realized last night that in my haste to vacate my former premises I’d left a couple of items with pretty significant sentimental value behind. The landlord’s brother agreed to meet up with me and I’m happy to report I recovered my lost treasures.
After breakfast, I trekked through Barretto and purchased a shitload of replacement light bulbs and some extension cord/power strips. Then I ordered some bottle water and a tank of propane. Got back home and set up some of the kitchen while awaiting the delivery of the aforementioned items.
And the work on repairing the house continues apace.
The door to my future?
I had the worker pictured above do some side stuff for me today. He’s also agreed to build me some much needed shelving in the kitchen. Progress!
Then it was off to my Friday afternoon dart league where I turned in a 3-0 performance. The game is getting there, but still a long way to go to get back towhere I used to be.
Back home after darts for a brief interlude of cataloging some of my recent purchases.
The water….
The gas…
The microwave and rice cooker….
My fancy knives….
and the crockpot I shipped over inside my balikbayan boxx…
Then it was back into town where I served as a judge in this week’s SOB dance contest.
It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it!
Back home good and drunk now and in desperate need of some sleep. So I’m gonna go grab me some.
As days go, the was a good one. But then, I’m easily pleased.
More to come!
