So it`s come back around again… just got a big bite from the unemployment bug. I actually officially lost both of my jobs on the same day.
I was taking a break from Kafka because I had been working there so much before I left for Costa Rica. My plan was to continue working on design [...]
So Sifu (my Kung Fu teacher) had us hit the ol’ punching bag a few (hundred) times last week. Needless to say, my hands have been better… Bar construction hasn’t helped either. Over the past week and a half or so, I’ve been keeping track of the days by involuntarily adding a new mark to my hands at [...]
So my camera is not only a piece, it`s officially broken. After my whole experience with the con-artist/camera-repairman I decided to take things into my own hands and fix the camera myself. I spent basically a whole weekend tinkering with this thing. I took the entire lens apart, cleaned it, and then reassembled.
Stella and Karla seem to think [...]
So I`m not sure if it was in addition to or apart from my other parasite experience (at this point I don`t even care), but I had another examine de heces (which by the way cost me Q300 or $40 and was made out to “Brina Jonez”). It came up positive as having Helicobacter Pylori Antigeno. [...]
Those of you that have been checking the photo section may have realized that this month`s number of photos has been pretty skimpy. Unfortunately, this is due to the fact that my camera is temporarily out of commission. I have found that taking my camera to work everyday (for 40 minutes of photo ops during [...]
So I had myself a visit to the doctors today. After singing him my sad song, the doctor came to the conclusion that I have a parasite.
The parasite is called Giardia. It´s a parasite that hides out in your upper digestive system. Because it is so high up your system, it does not show up [...]
So it turns out that this whole idea of “It is getting better though, I think my resistance is building up. This time was for only about a day and a half” turned out to be wishful thinking. There`s still someting angry living in my digestive system. I`m going to go see the doctor tomorrow.
The [...]
So there was a Terremoto the other day. The epicenter was in Honduras and was about a 7.2 on the richter scale. We had a tremor at about 2:00 am. It continued for about 30 seconds to a minute. It was strong enough to get me out of bed to get under the door frame. [...]
So I have just recovered from being sick once again. At this point its become a normal thing. Every week or so… slam… sick again. It is getting better though, I think my resistance is building up. This time was for only about a day and a half. I wasn`t feeling too bad, but then [...]
So I managed to get sick… again. There seems to be some sort of wave of sickness that has traveled through Stella`s house. Karla, Jaime, Terry (new student), and myself were all sick more or less within one week of eachother. At this point I was kind of tired and bored of [...]
