Trying to accomplish all you need to do before you leave

I am trying my hardest to accomplish all I need to do before I leave Costa rica, and of couse this is a slow country to do anything. I didn´t feel well yesterday to finish all my packing and so I laid on the cold tile floor and watched my 46 inch lcd tv for a couple of hours to regenerate. Its so hot that I am exhausted,and not fully recovered from the Surgery. So its taking alot out of me...

I had a taxi pick up take things to Rosies little grocery store to store stuff while i am going its not alot in comparison to when I lived in the states but its amazing how much crap we all collect. WOW For me, Its kinda sad really I am not taking photos because the frames wieght too much, I don´t have a camera the landlord didn´t replace it so Tomorrow when I exit, I am saying where is the Camera? if he says he doesn´t have it then I will say I am not paying for the two weeks I was here. Simple as that the rent is less than the Camera, he owes me!!! Also There are many items I wanted to take with me as memories but its too heavy. Clothes even... so I thought oh well look at it this way Marianna, when you came you came with hardly nothing and look now how much material things you aquired! so things come and go..
I am baging up clothes because I know they wont work there, and I need new clothes. I hope I do very well and have not one worry about buying a thing! I beleive I will so what is the sense of hanging on to old things?
So when I got up I started right off the bat out of the bed to organize the huge pile of clothes shoes and junk that is all over the floor because there is no furniture in the aparment, only a bed and the microwave and the TV. So its everywhere! I was befuddled, drank some coffee and then began the best I could again.
I waited for this gal to call to come and pick up the TV and some chairs but never showed so I got showered, dropped off a few things at the laundry, went to the store bought all the food for the dinner I am cooking to night at Rosies, HER IDEA!! and went to her restuarant and cooked up the sauce and prepared things.
Then I went to the Century wrote up a contract, for the bar I sold!! and then booked my hotel in Madrid.
Now I have to go and have the people sign and give a deposit, then hired a truck to deliever plants to Raquels house.. I have so many there big tall trees and urns and more.. beautiful things I can´t leave them with the Land lord.. he doesn´t appreciate a thing and hes rude. Never repaid for all the damages, allowed me to live for months with out a stove, so i rather give them to her and she can remember me by that.
Then at Five I have to go and prepair for the party, I still need to get the TV out, pack my clothes organize and put things in the storage at Rosies. I am tired really but I promised Rosie Italian food before I left.. It would be nice if people made a contribution that came like a donation or something since I paid for all of it!!! but hey its ok in my mind if they don´t Its a party.
( just a thought)

Tomorrow I have to make sure all the lose ends are done, then at Ten go to cut my hair and dye it, and get a pedicure. After that make sure things are all finished and then go to San Jose for the trip.
I hope Ken lets me stay with him and save myself some money, and the trip`on the bus.. plus taxis. He did say I could.
I still don´t have my computer the guy called last night said it was done, that he would try to come today if not he would send it in the morning tomorrow, and I would have it by noon.
I HOPE SO I NEED IT!

Have heard from five people on my email that read the blog and wrote me personally, saying they support me and wish me well and pray for my safety and success! so that was great. THANK ALL OF YOU VERY MUCH! I love you, and i sure feel loved. One of the letters made me cry the things she said were so touching and so sweet. She made me sound so nice !! AMAZING I think I am nice but not that Nice LOL!!
BUT THANK YOU DEAR I love you much too you know who you are... keep in touch all of you and be watching for the first blog from Spain. I believe I am staying in the centro, there is a quartro, were there are restuarants, bars, shops discotecs so this should be so cool! Museums are close and everything is walking I AM FAMILIAR WITH THIS SO THATS GREAT!! un like most USA Citizens they do not walk much. Here walking is the way, driving is great I want a car but I know now that walking is so much better, keeping you fit, and healthy and you see far more, it creates freindships too because people talk to you when you are walking.
Its just nice ok
So I will try tomorrow to kiss COSTA RICA BY BY if time permits.

Marianna,

I will be thinking of you and hope that everything becomes your "pearl" you've been living a little in the oyster and have now opened up and that pearl is growing.

Be good!
Lots of luck to you on your journey today!
