W3 Day 23

Today was another rainy swim day. It is the rainy season but there was a tropical storm that passed near Panama that made it a bit rainier than normal.

I used our swim snorkeler that I now realize from this photo makes me look super weird. It’s not for snorkeling but to swim without having to worry about breathing so you can concentrate on your stroke and kick. It may also keep others out of the pool due to fear.

When we left the apartment Sven was checking email.

When we got back he was fast asleep.

Looking forward to the weekend!!

W3 Day 22

Today started with a text from my regular oncologist asking how I was feeling. I haven’t been seeing him since I’m seeing a Wasabi doctor. The fact that you can just text your doctors here is so nice.

The day started with rain and clouds. Most shocking was the temperature.

This was the coldest it’s been since we got here.

It’s back in the 80s now so I don’t need to pull out a jacket.

W3 Day 21

I’m once again thankful that my Wasabi schedule is every 28 days vs every 21. I have entire week to feel good before my next one.

Today it was raining when I went out for a walk. One good thing about the rain is I don’t have to worry as much about getting sunburnt.

I still wore a sun shirt. Next time I wear the sparkly one I’m going to stand by this sparkly pole.

I spent a lot of time playing with the macro setting on my phone. People walking by must have thought, “she must not have leaves where she comes from.”

I was able to really look up at this statue without sun in my eyes. They really were realistic with the nostrils.

This telescope sort of looks like ET or Wall-E.

I walked 2.5 miles. I was tired when I got home but felt pretty darn good.

W3 Day 19

I’m back at work for last week, this week, and half of next week. PMI, the company I work for, has been great about my schedule.

Today was bring your support sloth to work day. I’m training two new people at work and Sven asked if he could sit in.

He took a lot of notes.

He wasn’t great at our forecasting system.

He insisted on double checking my forecasts.

yes this meeting could have been an email.

By the end of the day Sven decided he’s not a numbers sloth. He’s thinking of asking Jeff to teach him web design.

W3 Day 18

Today was a nice but hot day. We walked along the Amador Causeway which is like a bridge that connects several small islands.

We walk here all the time but never noticed this area where you can see fish.

When we left home it was cloudy and not too hot, but by the time we got there it was hot and humid.

Good thing we had water and were able to buy more.

We saw several ships heading to and from the Canal. I hope this one had the Starbucks tumblers I forecast on it. From the amout of boats lined up to go in and out of the Canal it’s hard to believe there are still supply chain issues.

Its hard to see in this picture but the dots on the horizon are all ships.

We walked two miles and I felt back to myself including tripping over my own feet and taking a tumble. Jeff caught me mid fall so I’m fine. By the time we got home we could see that is was pouring on the causeway so we got lucky on the weather. I’ll still take hot over pouring rain.

W3 Day 15

I’m completely out of nadi now!! My red and white blood cells should be back to normal which is great.

I got this in the mail today.

This was so sweet but I don’t know anyone named Deana. Then I remembered that there is a really cool non profit that sends scarves for free to women going thru Wasabi. I ordered it early on when I thought I would lose my hair.

I look forward to hopefully donating this and my wig and the just in case head coverings I bought unused if I don’t lose my hair!

In the meantime Sven is modeling it.

W3 Day 14

Today I felt good so we went for a walk in the Coste De Este neighborhood. I forgot to wear my sun hat so I had to use my hair as a neck covering. It was a hot as you would imagine.

The tide was out which highlighted the trash that washed up on the beach. It’s hard to see in this photo. Any trash you see unfortunately there is so much more. Every weekend volunteers clean the beach but more just washes up. You can really understand the problem of plastic in the ocean when you see it.

Seeing the trash made me feel icky but there was this portable sink.

Walking felt great but I was a little more tired than I expected so we cut the walk short and went to Organica.

Look how smug I am buying organic.

We’ve been to this location at least 10 times but today was the first time I noticed a cafe on the second floor.

from the second floor in took this photo and freaked out Jeff when in called to him from up here. He also didn’t know there was a 2nd floor.

Then later in the day there was this rainbow, unrelated to shopping or the walk but still nice.
