A Series of Bad Decisions
The title seems to be the theme of the last few days here.
My toe healed up closed and a week later I finally got the okay to get back into the pool, where my toe started oozing and hurting again. Too soon and now it's not so good. The infection is trying to come back.
During my trek back into the pool I decided to finally try on the stack of swimwear I got off the 3 dollar final markdown rack at the one store I shopped at in the States. Here's what I learned. Never buy swimsuits off the discount rack when you're in a hurry, you're on narcotics, you have a high fever and you can barely stumble around because that swimwear is going to be weird as hell. \
The one piece fits wonderfully everywhere but my boobs. I would need to smuggle bowling balls in the top to fill it up and I'm not small up top. The bikini bottoms and tank top fits tightly but will do. One of the random bikini tops to wear with my shorts was so bizarrely cut I've already taken it apart and recut it. The only black top fit wonderfully, but I cannot find what I did with the bottoms. Go figure.
Not upset because the chemicals in our pool eat swimwear so there was no way I was ever going to spend much for suits for the backyard.
I went out this morning to fill my prescriptions only to find that two of the three drugs I'm on post stroke have been discontinued here in Costa Rica. Lots of calling and chasing around just to discover that the original pharmacy has generics of the same drugs made here in Costa Rica. This is just so typical on the completely inefficient way things happen here.
While on my way in this morning I was in a long line of cars stuck behind a farmer's tractor, behind a goat and a herd of cattle. Some dumb gringo tourist decided to drive around the traffic jam very rapidly on his rented four wheeler and head on collided with a bus. Viewing another gruesome accident.You just cannot go fast here, and if you try you are risking life, limb and limbic system.
On a good note the contractor thinks it might be dry enough to start on the hot tub and patios. One can only hope.
