Today in order to take our minds off the election results, we took a walk in Parque Omar. Jeff walked the 3 mile loop while I looked at all the art. I’m not sure if this was new or I never noticed it before.
I walked 2,900 steps which for me is a lot. I then spent the rest of the day napping. It’s easier to handle the election results from Panama. They are not interested in American politics so it is just a normal day here.
While we anxiously wait for election results we noticed that Sergio got stuck in a vase. You take your eyes off these sloths for one minute and they get in trouble.
Luckily, Sven was able to pull him out.
Today I had good energy until I actually started walking. Then I felt tired. Jeff went swimming and I walked in this nice area by the pool.
Today was a much better day. I had more energy and was in better spirits. The big excitement was Jeff went out and bought a dehumidifier. When we left to go to California we put our A/C on 80 degrees where it stayed for a month.We should have realized the problem wouldn’t be extreme heat but extreme humidity.
I won’t go into details except to say, did you know a plastic computer keyboard could grow mold?
All mold has been elimimated, but we are still drying the apartment out. We’ll see if it helps my frizzy hair.
Today I was a bit down. I’m so tired of being tired. I think it’s like watching a child grow. You know they are getting bigger, but day to day you don’t see changes. It was also gray and rainy all day.
Jeff knew exactly how to get me out of my funk. We walked across the street to a cafe and had wine. Now we are going to make paella which is one of my favorite dinners.
While this looks weird, it’s my favorite breakfast in Panama. It’s something we made up. Fried plantain, beans and cheese. It’s one of the great things about being back, eating our favorite foods.
I’m still tired and just read all day and then went for a walk. But everyday is getting a little better.
Happy Halloween! It’s not a big holiday here. So it was just a normal day of resting for me. My big outing was to go to the grocery store right next store to our building. They sell fresh juice which while not always delicious is healthy. We got a carrot, apple, ginger, kale, parsley juice. It was a little too kale forward for our taste, but so healthy.
Jeff also joined me on the roof for my daily walk.
This is Stan. He’s not a support sloth. He’s a sloth flashlight. He’s a friend of Sven and Sergio. He sleeps a lot as you can tell.
Today was a tired day, but I rallied and had my Zoom art therapy, Zoom Spanish lesson and walked 1,189 steps. Now I’m as sleepy as Stan.
Today I was still recovering from tge travel days. But I did manage to walk on the roofdeck of our building. I walled 1,000 steps and had to take an hour nap before and after it. But it’s progress.
It feels great to be back in our Panama apartment. Our flight landed at 5am. Even though we did sleep on the plane, we were exhausted. We pretty much just slept and did laundry.
