I'm feeling a lot less grumpy today, sorry about yesterday ha! I was processing some jealousy from relationship and really deeply feeling my feelings. Let me tell you, it wasn't fun. But I'm growing! (Jealousy is natural and there's nothing wrong with it!)
My emotions are a roller coaster here, more than ever before. Yesterday I woke up having the BEST day ever with my yoga and mediation. Then while I was trying to work, the wifi kept going out, which happens FREQUENTLY. AND THEN we ran out of water, which also happens about once a week.
I'm really working on how to not let these small details completely dictate my mood. But tbh, I haven't made much progress. My therapist is out for the month sooooo... rip. It'll be the first thing I work on when she's back.
Revamping this blog, and journaling/writing more in general, has helped me remember how much I LOVE writing. I think this is going to be such an amazing outlet for me. Because this just feels fully MINE. I can write how I want, say what I want and there's no censorship of algorithm. I freaking love that.
Despite having a rough day yesterday, today was super productive and great!
Each unit in our village has one day a week of assigned laundry. Mine was today (Thursday). Every past thursday since I've been here, and I mean EVERY THURSDAY (that's like 5 thursdays) it rains. And I hate my life every Thursday. Not really, but I'm very anxious.
OH, btw, everything is dried on the clothesline by the sun here. Dryers are not a luxury we have here.
BUT TODAY the sun was out!! So hot! It was SO HOT that I hung up my clothes to dry around 9 and they were all dry by noon. I love that for me.
I'm always happiest when I have a freshly cleaned house.
Another annoying thing that happened yesterday is I was charged for something at the grocery store I didn't by. I wasn't looking forward to going back because my spanish is not great yet and I thought it was going to be a huge hassle. BUT THIS GROCERY STORE!!! UGH!!! I LOVE CR!! I went back in and they IMMEDIATELY knew what I was talking about. They had pulled out the cash that I had been wrongly charged and kept it in a bag with the receipt for when I came back!! LITERALLY WHAT?! That would never happen at a store like say, Fred Meyers or Walmart, in the states. People here are so kind and thoughtful, and THAT really made my day.
I came home and spent some time hooping and then edited my youtube video FINALLY! (It'll be out in the morning! It's a home tour!) and then I took myself out to dinner.
I'm obsessed with the food here. My dinner that was a giant pile of beef, rice and beans, salad, cassava root and a cold coconut was $8.41 including the tip! Like whatttttt. You can't even get anything at Taco Bell (which is trash) for that cheap anymore.
I'm feeling really happy and motivated. Hopefully I'll be able to finish fully updating my blog tonight, and then start sharing it tomorrow!
I've gotten so many small stressful things off my plate today, I'm looking forward to the new day tomorrow.
Thanks for checking in! Love you soooooo much!
