I’m feeling good so my only excuse for sitting by the pool before work instead of swimming was pure laziness.

Tomorrow is my pre Wasabi blood test. I’m feeling good so assume everything will check out.

I’ve been lucky I’ve had my hair this long. But now it’s thinning. I have a feeling after the next Wasabi I’ll be ready for wigs, hats and scarves.

In the meantime I’ve borrowed some Halloween wigs just for fun. Rolf and Sam were horrified that I’d be wearing these for real.

Today we did some grocery shopping to stock up for when I’m not feeling great. Last time I was hungry, but didn’t want anything healthy. This time I’m ready with healthy but also some treats.

I’m feeling good on a Saturday which is fantastic. The day started with me getting this amazing hat! I also got something called a Buff with its an SPF multi use hat/scarf/neck covering/headband.

At the moment I’m wearing it as a headband but soon with be wearing is as a scarf. My hair is either super thinning or totally falling out.

Stared out with coffee and pastries. Yes that is Jeff’s hand in a brace. The poor guy fractured it a few weeks ago (just diagnosed on Friday) when he saw the doctor. And has been taking care of me with a broken hand for the last month.

The chin strap came in really handy in our very windy walk.

Sven asked if he could have my other hat.

And now we are hanging out with Samuel and Rolf.

I’m feeling good but still tired. Today I just hung out by pool before work.

Looking forward to a chill weekend.

Most people with OC have Wasabi every 3 weeks, but I’m on slightly different meds so my schedule is every 4 weeks. This is awesome because it gives me another week to build up my strength. I am feeling so much better but still tire out easily. Pre Wasabi I swam 40 laps a day. Yesterday I had to push myself to do 15.

Today I went for a walk. I was mortified because I thought I saw a dead Yorkie dog on the sidewalk. But on second glance it was literally a discarded dirty mop. So that was good.

I want to the pharmacy and got this bolsita (little bag) for my purchases.

Halfway to the park, I realized my bag looked like a dog poop bag, and I didn’t have a dog. Not quite sure what people thought I was carrying.

Right as I was thinking how hot I was in my long sleeved long tights sun gear. I came upon this gentleman in a suit.

Then on my way home I saw my favorite fruit seller wearing a matching hat.

I didn’t have any cash or the strength to carry a bunch of bananas all the way home so I took a picture instead.

Today I even went swimming. Due to my sun sensitivity I wore this swim jacket my mom gave me. I actually have matching swim shorts but couldn’t find them.

Last time we visited my parents my mom saw my swim shorts and just randomly had bought matching swim jacket.

This was the 2nd time this happened.

Years ago we visited and I was wearing this tank top and my mom had a matching shirt.

Back to the swim. It was great but Sven was mad that he couldn’t come. There are strict no sloths in the pool rules

When we got back to our apt he was hanging out in the flowers.

I am feeling fantastic today. The weird thing is somehow Wasabi cured my hot flashes. It’s the weirdest thing I am completely hot flash free at least for now.

I got these incredible flowers today. They are huge and amazing. Every time I leave the living room and reenter I’m amazed all over again.

The only problem is, Sven tried to eat them. I had to explain to him that not all leaves and flowers are sloth food.

To distract him I let him hero with dinner. He was pretty good with the spiralizer.

He seemed way too relaxed using such a sharp knife.

He is enjoying watching the zucchini noodles cook.

I’m feeling good today although still tired. It’s like yesterday’s walk tired me out for today too. Sven and I did some meal planning. I picked out recipes from this great cookbook and Sven wrote out the grocery list.

When it was time to work I put my hair into the world’s messiest bun. I’m afraid to brush it too much in case that makes it fall out faster so I’m rocking the Marie Antoinette. If I have hair long enough to go gray since I’m not dyeing it, I’ll really have the look complete.

Jeff tested out my ice gloves. I got these for the next Wasabi to prevent nerve damage to my fingers. The nurses are going to think I’m off my rocker. The ice socks were a lot for them to take in last time.

Jeff didn’t think the ice glove helped the tendinitis in his hand. But it didn’t not help either.

I continue to feel good! Today we went for walk in Parque Omar. The flowers above spell it out correctly, I just didn’t fit the “P” in.

I got this great SPF 50 shirt from the store Columbia. It’s a great shirt but looks both sparkly and vinyl in the sun.

Here’s a closeup. All these little dots reflect the sun but in a crazy way. The shirt, hat and glasses made me look like wanna be spy.

But it was a great walk. And I saw this cute door when we waited for our Uber to take us home.
