My friend Anne, her husband Emanuel and Rodrigo her support sloth came for a visit today. Anne and I met at Starbucks where she was one of the best bosses I’ve ever had and is now one of my best friends. We were twinsies today in our sloths in Seattle shirts.

Rodrigo is brothers with Sven and Sergio. When Anne had health issues last year he went on assignment to Seattle to support Anne. Now he’s living his best life in Seattle.

The three brothers enjoyed catching up before falling asleep.

Anne, Emanuel and Rodrigo have one more day in Panama before heading off on vacation in Costa Rica.

The sloths are all sleeping in this picture.

Today we were back to walking. If you look out on the distance you can see our building. We Ubered over here and then went for a walk. If you zoom in the curved building is our old building and the smaller dark blue curved building to the right is our current building.

I’m still coughing but better. I’ve only needed two cough drops vs twenty on past days. We went out for a little walk today and saw the moon and I think Venus?

My cold is so much better, but my cough still lingerss. Jeff gave Sven and Sergio some orange earplugs. Sven said they are helping but he’s only getting 20 hours of sleep a day with all my coughing.

Yesterday I got juice. Normally I get an orange juice (the color not the fruit) and a green. The juice guy only had green so I got two different ones. They were surprisingly different. Were they good? Well they were better than the ones I got today from the other competing juice place

I do think juice is healthy but it’s not cheap. Both places sell a bottle for $5. It’s not bad until you think it would be $300 a month to keep us both in juice. And yes we could buy a juicer. We have one in our storage locker in Seattle. Guess how often we used to make juuce….never.

Today was my day to get more maitenance drug. It’s every three weeks and really does feel like I’m in to get my oil changed or topped off. It’s quick and by the time I’m settled in and reading my book I’m done.

The only side effect is I’m really tired when I get home. But it’s a great reason to take a two hour nap.

Today we went to a Starbucks. There are none near us, so we rarely go here in Panama. I think I might have been wearing a mask last time. That’s how long ago it was. It is interesting how similar they are to the US. The only thing differentb was the food. They had empanadas and these giant sandwiches.

I also saw my Panama doctor today. I’m all cleared for my maitenance drug tomorrow.

This wasn’t terrible, but I can seex why it was on sale for 40% off. It tasted much more vinegary than I expected. Although it definately wakes you up.

Since its the weekend Jeff and I waited until evening to swim. That is the good thing about living in a place that’s boiling hot. Ir’s still 85 degrees at 7pm.

Sometimes you just need fancy hamburgers. I’m still fighting this cold. Going out for burgers, was just what I needed.
