I woke up very early again today at about 5:30am when the power went off. The cat was also meowing in the other room so I got up to feed her. This morning was quieter than yesterday so I was able to fall back asleep again for a bit, but not for long. I was up by 7am. I really wish I were a morning person!
I had soup for breakfast today. I still have someone cooking for me until I get completely settled. I told her I just want fruit for breakfast, but I think she thinks I'm going to die if I only have fruit. So I had mango and vegetable soup today. The food she has been making is good – lots of bean sauce, rice with beans, vegetables, fried plantains, fresh tomatoes, vegetable soups, fresh juice, good coffee. Cooking vegetarian food is stressing her out though. I also recently found out that she has been using butter and chicken bouillon in everything. Yuck yuck yuck yuck. I asked her not to use it but I think that was really pushing it.
I spent all day yesterday and today cleaning my apartment. There is a maid, Zette, who comes to clean every Monday and Thursday, but it appears that she only washes the floors. Everything was extremely dusty and there were a million things left behind from previous people who lived here. It’s nice to have a completely furnished apartment, but there was a lot of organizing to do! Here is the final product!
(I have air conditioning that actually works when there is power!)
