So, it has been over 3 weeks since I had clean jeans. While I am perfectly happy to wash most of my clothes by hand, I hate the idea of trying to wash the jeans. More specifically, to wring them out. Towels are challenge enough. I haven't even attempted the jeans. As a result I have been wearing a lot more skirts than ever before in my life. That's right. Bare legs. Ehw.
Today is a happy day because I have broken down and decided it is totally worth paying someone to do my laundry. Granted, this woman has no idea that I am gringa. Sonia says the laundry lady wouldn't do them if she knew. Not exactly sure what that is about but so long as my laundry comes home clean. 5 pairs of jeans, 2 sheets and an old duvet cover that is close to being up-cycled into curtains for my bedroom. Oh, you can't imagine the excitement. The small things seem a lot more momentous when life in simple.
On that note: I have been told that I even sound Relaxed, Calm and Zen. I am happy to report I feel all those things. I love shopping for lilies for my kitchen, walking to work and eating plantains.
A few things would round out my peaceful life. A set of dishes, a large mixing bowl and a bit more enthusiasm for mopping. As a good Tica in training I am expected to mop my balcony regularly. I suppose it would be nice to have a clean floor...
I had my second motorcycle ride today. Because it is a beautiful, sunny morning I think I may have a new hobby.
I know, dangerous.
