I sometimes like the cute little ways blogs come up with something to post, like Friday Fragments for ideas that don't flesh out to a full post, or Sundays in My City with pictures from around town on a Sunday. However, those require actually posting on a particular day. So, my fragments are on a Sunday, which doesn't really rhyme.
I went down to breakfast in the restaurant this morning. I had the desayuno typical (my spell check doesn't do Spanish, so I hope that is close...), or typical breakfast here in Honduras. It was really good. It's fried plantains (done right!), refried beans, and egg over easy, something that looked like a slice of fried Spam, some kind of cheese/cream and fresh made tortillas. I prefer the creamy sauce rather than a hard piece of white cheese of some sort that is sometimes included instead. At any rate, the owner of the hotel told them that my breakfast was 'on the house'. I left a 50L tip anyway.
I'm sorting and packing. I'm already probably too late to have my stuff arrive in MO when I'm there in September. I'll set up the storage unit so that all Mom will need to do with the movers is point. The place here is total caos (spell check can't even come close for that word, so just go with it...) as I pull everything out and decide what to send home and what to leave here. It is making me think in detail about what I need to have to feel comfortable. A table is high on the list, it seems. My kitchen table I bought in WA is going back. It is a nice, stable flat surface that is doing duty lately as my ironing board. I'll have to come up with something else. My hammock stand that has done more duty as a temporary place to hang clothes will also go back. It's the little details that make a lifestyle comfortable or not. I'll see how it goes. I may find that it motivates me to do what I need to do in order to leave Honduras even faster. That would include having a job someplace else to go to.
No progress on my hammock this week. I didn't feel good and had no energy. Once I get the stuff packed I'll start working on it again.
I still feel like I'm shooting an arrow towards the future and I don't have any idea what or where the target is. Just aim in a general direction and shoot.
