Busy week

Friday I was painting and working on one of the three condos my new client has. This one was in Vista Mar, the other two are in Vista Las Palmas. They decided this one needed a little pick up and I volunteer to paint and change pictures and simple rearrange. While I was finishing up two young men came in, the owner had seen them down stairs by the pool and invited them up for a drink. They were talking I could hear they were here on leave from Iraq, on R and R for 60 days. They are infantry, front line. There job is Killing and doing very difficult work for the US Military. My client invited them as well as I out for a nice dinner and drinks on the town. So about 6 of us got ready and all went to a great place for dinner, Los Amigos, then to Saca goma, then to about three other places. Making it a 3:00 am night. I was exhausted, they were still going. I came home went right to bed. The last three days I have not felt good. I must have eaten something bad, or maybe my stomach is just not right but I don't feel great. Well Sat, I worked with them some after cleaning my whole place in the morning. I came back to rest and just sleep on the sofa for the night. Then yesterday was my Sunday that I go to the beach now with Orfa and her daughter. We have been doing this for about four or five weeks. Yesterday was strange, after we all got settled in the sand. Some drunken Nica came and laid right across the front of us , and would not leave. We kept yelling telling him to go, he would not. Finally a beautiful Black man that was laying across the way, could see what was happening. He came confronted this guy but he refused to leave. He then began taking off his pants and then his underwear. We were all so upset, he wouldn't go.. finally the black man said if you don't leave I am calling the police. So he did. the Police came and physically picked him up and threw him in the back of the pickup of the police truck. He was yelling at us that we were bad for calling the police. He cussed and yelled called us names. THANK GOD FOR THAT MAN!! because none of us had a phone. And we had moved to another area on the beach and he followed us.
So after this we all relaxed, slept for about 30 minutes, and then went to Orfas for fresh pineapple drinks she made in the blender.
I walked home and rested, I just didn't feel well. I wrapped presents to send away and slept alot.
Now today I have to meet with the painter, pick out paint, talk with the drapery man, meet in the condo and discuss my ideas, then go and buy all the lamps and mirrors for the restaruant that I Have not finished. So I have a busy week, I am waiting for the container of furniture from USA to arrive for this client so I can place and arrange it all, it is suppose to be here tomorrow but I don't think so.. its holiday and I know how it goes here everything shuts down as of today. I have not told the client, I want to wait and see what really happens. After this on Weds we are going to San Jose to buy accesories for the condos, and I hope a couple of things for my place too!
At the end of the week I am leaving for Nicaragua, I must leave for my visa. I will return after Christmas. Other than this, its a beautiful day today. Sun is out and its hot but not blazing yet. Birds are singing and I am ready to go and send off the gifts, meet up with the people and begin my day.
I never dreamed I would be back doing this again but I am happy! How long it lasts, doesn't matter to me.. as I said I am not worring about anything any more.
Life is short, enjoy what you can.
